Thank you for writing this. I’ve had similar thoughts before, but this was very well argued and surprisingly action-guiding (which is often hard to pull off in macrostrategy!). Reading this, I feel like I’ve made major mistakes in prioritizing my work, and I’m grateful for the reorientation. I expect to re-read this essay throughout 2026 to keep my eye on the ball.
