I don't feel out of depth. To me it feels like variations on places we've been before.
But I hasten to qualify this:
(1) This is just my feeling! You asked how I feel, so I'm telling you, but I don't claim my feeling is anything more than that.
(2) I'm only talking about dynamics on HN. I'm not talking about what Trump might do or AI might do; it's not my job to comment on those and your guess is as good as mine anyhow.
Appreciate the response.
Makes sense to really focus your commitment to HN.
I can appreciate your emotional discipline in these times. I could work on that more myself
I'll just add my personal observations that I've found that the more the world turns into a circus tent, the more I actually respect, enjoy and desire the HN approach to the sensitive and polarizable discussion.
Not all the time, no. It's good to stay informed and maybe even stay "functionally outraged" a bit. But having HN with its high degree of remoteness and dispassionate analysis to come back to is great.
