Good stuff! I’d only add that we’ve entered a more dangerous era in which much of the Eurasian continent is aligned against the west. As with WWII, the revanchist powers want a new world order to replace the western led one. But all they seem to know how to do is break down the existing order and they fail miserably at trying to build something in its place. They fail primarily because they abhor freedom but without freedom it is impossible to get the billions of people on board that you need to create a word order. Who wants to live in North Korea, Iran, Russia or China with their repressive policies? Hang on tight because the authoritarians will need a big war to teach them what they should already know.

Used to write a lot more about science, tech, econ, politics etc. I spend my time reading and painting with exercise for good measure. Looking for more.
