I find value every time you acknowledge those feelings of uncertainty on the path you’ve chosen. Too often, people who’ve reached a certain level of “influence” pretend they have everything figured out. But you’ve been consistent. It’s always refreshing and reassuring to me (and I’m sure many others) when you’ve declared the opposite.

Thanks for being this open and vulnerable with us, Paul. I found myself thinking that it is a bit silly how much attention I devoted to Trump's actions and their possible consequences, especially after he put the majority of tarriffs on hold (for now). I asked myself: Will this really be something people think back at as imporant im ten or twenty years? Maybe, but probably not. I have to guard my time and attention. This is the reason I just cannot use platforms like Twitter: The constant noise of fundamentally ephemeral outrage would consume me whole and I would finally be completely unable to have coherent thoughts about what really happens in society.
