Agree with the general sentiment about wordiness and I hope the author can condense his thoughts in future iterations of this. One quote I want to point out:

"concretely stating "I think doing this will work" opens you up to the terrifying possibility of being provably wrong"

I wish people didn't think this way. Be confident about your ideas and be willing to accept that they will be catastrophically wrong. It doesn't mean you're dumb it just means you were wrong
