As always a great read.

Brilliant piece !! - Two lines stood out for me - a) The idea is to stick to strong boats and not predict storms b) It's hard to be long equity without being long humanity

This piece resonates deeply. Thank you.

This alone would make it worth reading your essay. Thank you!
