    I struggle with this false belief: If something is meant to be, it would be easy.

    Right?  WRONG!

    Following this train of thought = If something challenges you, you will believe it is not meant for you.

    You will misinterpret the resistance + problems as signs that you need to quit.

    I know I have. I have seen the blocks, the rejections and procrastination as proof that I am not cut out for my visions.

    This mindset guarantees an endless cycle of starting and stopping.

    The most rewarding experiences in my life include the heat of resistance + fire of transformation.

    That moves you from fear + insecurity into competence + growth.

    The fire burns from facing your fears + alchemizing it through practice + action.

    This is easier to see in hindsight, so I want to remind you and myself that if there is something you are creating and feel the struggle, keep going. 

    You are not burning bridges. You are building them.

    Democracy is broken. We can’t make democracy work at scale given current tech levels. It’s not even “the best bad idea we have so far.” It’s just broken.
    No one is qualified to lead hundreds of millions of people at the nexus of a global economy. No one is even qualified to evaluate whether someone else might do it. So we fall back to the best marketer/influencer, which is worse than many other potential options.

    Sure, it's tuned a little toward incindiary hot take, but I stand by it empirically and as a vague, open ended bet.
