"The cynic’s contribution, while real, is orders of magnitude smaller than the builder’s." Still thinking about this piece, and I think this is a clutch realization -- we don't effectively normalize time One hour spent criticizing something is 10x less valuable than that same hour spent creating something

The notion that voluntary international cooperation could solve a problem this vast, this complex, this deeply entwined with economic development was always more fairy tale than strategy. What delusions about global governance will we cling to next? https://www.theindex.media/wildfires-droughts-and-a-broken-accord-the-1-5degc-reckoning/

Today, I'm launching The Index: Truth in an age of noise. It's an independent, un-compromised news, editorial and op-ed site. Zero VC funding. No billionaire owners. No advertising. Entirely funded by myself and my readers. Here's why. https://www.theindex.media/a-letter-from-the-editor-why-the-index-is-choosing-reader-supported-journalism/
