We live in interesting times, and I believe the positive trajectories for humanity outnumber the negative ones, but we must be cautious not to mess this up.

Pessimism is a natural instinct rooted in evolution, but modern society offers more safety and opportunities than our ancestors faced, making it essential to recognize and override this instinct.

It's important to maintain a general optimism about the future while being skeptical of specific opportunities, as this balance can help navigate the uncertainties of life.

The public's response to my predictions has been divided: some dismiss them as crazy, others acknowledge the historical analysis but remain pessimistic, while a third group seeks solutions to the challenges posed by AI.

The apocalyptic fear surrounding science and technology has led to a risk-averse society, where taboo ideas are often dismissed without discussion.

Be cautious of conventional thinking within your subculture. Just because a group shares similar opinions doesn't mean those ideas are innovative or correct. Challenge the prevailing mindset to foster true innovation.

This period of uncertainty can lead to honest and transformative ideas, encouraging us to challenge our assumptions and pursue bold new concepts.

It's important to think outside the box and have your own belief systems; consensus among peers can lead to undifferentiated and marginal ideas.

When faced with uncertainty, we can choose to respond with optimism and curiosity.
