Personally I'm fine.

Communally I'm worried.

I'm worried the AI valuations bubble will collapse, pull the mag7 with it, that'll pull the us stock market with it considering they represent the vast majority of the value gain over the last years. That in turn will pull the dollar with it, even more than today. It'll make 2007 look like a picnic.

I'm worried about demographics vs retirement. I doubt retirement will be a thing for the children my generation has, I'm middle age now. I might get to retire because I've been lucky. Also related worries about the welfare state model overall.

I'm worried that Russia won't collapse quickly enough due to Chinese backing and pull us, northern europe, with it. They won't stop until someone makes them stop.

I'm worried about all the men struggling to find their place in society, the lack of constructive role models for young men and the right wing nazis happily channeling it.

I'm worried about climate change, it's basically gone of the agenda but that doesn't mean the problem has gone away. The chance of the gulf stream collapsing seems to increase for every new model they release.

The Gulf Stream is new to me. Are you doing anything to position yourself for it or any of the other stuff?

Not trying to be dismissive, really just trying to be optimistic/prepared if things go south. Ideally, someone gets inspired to build solutions to all the things that got us here.

Not for the gulf stream but I'm pondering a move from BigTech to the local defense industry. I can't do much, but I can do something.
Drone warfare seems to be where things are headed. I hope any work you or anyone else might do in defense can get people the lasting peace they deserve.
