But because they thought about the long-term resilience of the system, They emphasized decoupling. They emphasized mitigating risk. They thought about the what ifs. They ended up with a smarter strategy.

And I really do worry that in a moment of extreme social change and rapid technological shifting of AI and all these things, that we are thinking short term and not enough decision makers are pondering the what ifs and planning accordingly for them.

This is a fun one to talk about because I've written books in the past. This one changed my worldview completely, and I feel the happiest I have literally ever been in my life. And a lot of the reason for that is just because it's a mentality shift. It's sort of this understanding, first off, that it is unbelievably improbable that humans exist, let alone that I exist. So I feel grateful for that.

It's also that when I realized the uncertainty and the lack of control that I have over my life, I have become more of an explorer, right? I've become more of an experimenter. I try things that I wouldn't try in the past. And as a result of that, I'm sort of attuned to the serendipity that happens when something unexpected comes into my life and the joy from it.

Of course, there's unexpected setbacks too, but I'm more able to roll with them because I don't have the sense that I have to have top-down optimized control all the time.

And I think about the times in my life where I was actually probably, you know, not saddest, but not exactly my happiest, is some of the time when I was on paper the most productive with inbox zero and I was checking off, you know, every checklist was ticked. And, you know, like it sucked the joy out of life. I was on top of my sort of to-do list, but I wasn't having a good time.

And so, you know, I think there's some of these lessons that I've incorporated where you just sort of have to think, you know, we're all in this ride that is extremely bizarre, contingent, swayed by randomness, swayed by luck, et cetera. And we're happy to be here. We're lucky to be here.
