I am flattered that someone nominated this but I don’t know why. I still believe in the project, but this doesn’t match at all what I’d look to in this kind of review? The vision has changed and narrowed substantially. So this is a historical artifact of sorts, I suppose, but I don’t see why it would belong.
I think I’m personally interested in a more detailed self-review of how this project went. Like, Balsa Research seemed like your own operationalization of a particular hypothesis, which is “one partial solution to civilizational dysfunction is to accomplish clear wins that restore/improve faith that we can improve things on purpose.” (or, something like that)
I didn’t nominate the post but having thought about it now, I’d be interested in an in-depth update on how you think about that, and what nuts-and-bolts of your thinking have evolved over the past couple years.
