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.

View on HN

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.
