Have always felt constrained by the linearity of writing, and found that this is an interesting way to think through ideas. These were written for myself, so probably won't make complete sense.
the future looks pretty bleak • capitalism • the global market is an evolutionary battleground kept in check by a tension between power seeking and aging dynamics • hope • have spent quite a while thinking about the question...

Want to be more confident • Why? • How? • Alcohol/sleep deprivation...
