In the past few weeks and months, I have been updating my priors about our accelerating future like never before — on governance, politics, foreign affairs, technology incl. AI and crypto, etc. Essentially, across all domains that are undergoing what I would call a “great reset”. I am actively trying to refresh my wetware through relevant readings and podcasts, to adjust all the mental models and norms that I wrongly took for granted. Ironically, losing myself in all these rabbit holes leads me to being less opinionated than ever before — not just because FC and the world don’t need an eight billionth opinion on stuff, but also because I don’t feel entitled to having one if I don’t have a credible understanding of all that’s going on

1. Yes we need your opinion 2. You’re entitlement to opinions is a pre-requisite to all beliefs in freedom 3. What other new opinions have you formed?

I’ll take Ukraine as an example. My opinion is that what’s happening is a spineless, unethical, indefensible betrayal of words given and of values shared. But, for everyone sharing this opinion, there are as many people holding the opposite view. Twitter has become the PvP arena where those opinions just clash all day long. It’s exhausting, toxic, and also ultimately futile, because no one is convincing anyone else. So instead, I would rather approach topics like these with detachment and an almost clinical voice, trying to understand and discuss the drivers for these shifts, and their long-term implications. Not expressing a preference doesn’t mean I don’t feel strongly about these topics, but I’d rather FC remains a somewhat neutral ground for a quasi-scholarly exploration where we collectively try to figure things out more deeply, instead of aggravating each other with just opinions TL;DR: I’d rather be meta about it all
