I’m not sure this comment is decision-relevant, but I want us to consider the need for us, both individually and collectively, to become stronger. We face great problems ahead of us, and we may not be able up for the challenge. We need to face them with intellect, and care, and creativity and reason. We need to face them with cooperation, and cohesion, and love for fellow man, but also strong independence and skepticism and ability to call each out on BS.
We need to be clear enough in our thinking to identify the injustices in the world, careful enough in our planning to identify the best ways to fight them, and committed and steady enough in our actions to decisively act when we need to. We need to approach the world with fire in our hearts and ice in our veins.
We should try to help each other identify, grow, and embody the relevant abilities and virtues needed to solve the world’s most pressing problems. We should try our best to help each other grow together.
This may not be enough, but we should at least try our best.
