Well, the Russia-Ukraine thing, meanwhile, still goes on. And we saw in our group chat, one of our friends posted But Russia basically said, any more attacks on our land, we reserve all rights, including nuclear response. That is insane.

How are we here?

How are we here?

I am the most... objectively scared I've ever been. And I think that people grossly underestimate how quickly this could just spin up out of control. And right now, not enough of us are spending the time to really understand why that's possible, and then also try to figure out what's the offering.

And I think it's just incredibly important that people take the time to figure out that this is a non-zero probability. And this is probably, for many of us, the first time in our lifetime where you could really say that.

The definition of liberalism has always been being completely against war of any kind and being completely in favor of free speech of all kinds. That's what being a liberal means. We've lost the script. And I think that people need to understand that this is the one issue where if we get it wrong, literally nothing else matters.

And we are sleepwalking and tiptoeing into a potential massive world war.

All it takes is one big mistake. You do not get a second chance. And for me, I have become a single issue voter. This is the only issue to me that matters. We can sort everything else out. We can figure it all out. We can find common ground and reason. Should taxes go up? Should taxes go down? Let's figure it out. Should regulations go up? Should regulations go down? We can figure it out.

But we are fighting a potential nuclear threat on three fronts. How have we allowed this to happen? Russia, Iran, China. You cannot underestimate that when you add these kinds of risks on top of each other, something can happen here. And I don't think people really know. They're too far away from it. There are too many generations removed from it.

War is something you heard maybe your grandparents talk about now, and you just thought, okay, whatever. I lived it. It's not good.

So I would say that when every pundit and every person in a position to do something about it says, you have nothing to worry about, you probably have something to worry about. And so when everybody is trying to tell you, everybody, that this is not a risk, it's probably a bigger risk than we think.
