I don’t know what the future will look like any more than anyone else but I do have one hope. I hope people retain their willingness to do hard things and the attention span to do them. Solving hard problems takes seriousness, focus, humility, resilience, vigilance — and sometimes beating your head against a wall repeatedly for a long time before anything interesting or fun happens. It frequently sucks. While I’m actually a huge fan of naïveté to embark on the impossible, superficial engagement will only generate mediocrity and incrementalism. And tenacity is required when things become predictably more complicated. There’s no cheap victory to be had. So even when complex or laborious things become much easier, I hope it supercharges our willingness and ability to think very deeply, to understand important nuance, to go far beyond surface level insights so truly meaningful progress can happen.
