WOW (as usual). The illusion of ownership and agency shattered.

Wout... One big reason I am becoming a gushing fan of your writing, systems thinking, and life choices is you are doing it now. That much wisdom and context normally shows up after 45 or 50. I can hardly wait to see what you'll do in the next 30 years. No, wait. I'll help you do it.

Let me say that I too am curious about that. Then again, if the world were to stay the same, it’d all be far too easy to predict (though I’m not sure I’d want that kind of certainty anyway). What keeps it interesting is the flux, and I’m sure that that’s part of the overall appeal.

Anyway, it seems I’m working my way towards a book. Unexpected, but a natural next step.

And thank you Georgia, your encouragement really resonates.
