some things seem weird to state out loud bc it's not exactly a new thing, and surely everyone knows it. but here goes:

we have access to the most powerful media + information management tools in human history.

this gives us leverage & power that our predecessors did not have
a staggering amount of our assumptions about what is possible is informed not by first principles thinking, but by our intuitions, which are shaped by history
you can literally talk to people from all over the world for effectively free. this is a very recent power, and only a very tiny percentage of people are using it skillfully or strategically. you could build relationships with people from almost every major city on the planet
"ok but how do you build relationships" that's a solved problem, go do the reading. george washington knew how to do it and wrote about it extensively. I have a book about it too. but you can just google it yourself. you can google and learn anything.
I do worry about becoming a broken clock that repeats myself too much, but it seems like there are new people showing up and hearing these things for the first time each time. and I feel like these *are* important talking points. I need to find a creative solution to this 🤔
describing elegant solutions to solved problems is a way of making friends with people who care about those problems

what I really would like to work on though are the relatively unsolved problems

a lot of this is a matter of framing
