This is a great article that centers the discussion of what people are contending with in a clear and empathetic way while enveloping the understandings of the issues we face in a way that people across cultures and political beliefs could all agree with (though mostly US focused). I'm very impressed with it, thank you so much.

Re: FTX I think you're single line "it's a governance problem" says enough and there's not much more you have to add to that whole thing, except to go deeper into what governance is for those who wouldn't immediately get what you mean by that statement.

Thank you, DB, I'm glad this rang true.

I will get into governance in that upcoming piece: separation of duties, transparency where needed, escalating mistakes early, culture of listening instead of denial, etc. There are some interesting historical comparisons both good and bad.

Another enjoyable post Stephanie. Your writing is a good mix of realism and optimism. I am a big optimist. I think one near horizon possibility is that with cooperation we solve our big structural problems and the next period of learning curve growth delivers an age of plenty and perhaps UBI.
