The advancements in technology have significantly improved our lives compared to what our ancestors experienced.

Despite the problems we face today, statistically, life is safer now than it was a century or two ago, and this progress should be acknowledged.

The current era is marked by unprecedented social and environmental challenges, and we must actively work to address these issues as we advance technologically.

The current era is the best time in history to start a new venture, as many industries that were previously resistant to software adoption are now ripe for transformation due to AI advancements.

If you take some risks, step up when the times are toughest, and never give up, the next generations will live in a world far better than the one we have today.

Our understanding of life is that we are biological creatures that interact and evolve, and future societies should be superior to the past. The more access to information people have, the better choices they can potentially make, even if they don't always do so.

While the human experience is valuable, the integration of technology into our lives will continue to evolve, leading to new forms of interaction and existence that challenge traditional notions of humanity. Our new reality is as alien to us as it would be to hunter-gatherers from 15,000 years ago.

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.

Now, at 51 years old, I believe this is a momentous time for humanity because the present you is brave, hopeful, and innovative.
