The Mountain in the Distance

A topic that should interest everyone, in my opinion.

Understandable.

I don't think it's ever been indirectly implied that I'm interested in topics that simply aren't that interesting. 

That's my bad, I read back where I initially said this and I should've said "not particularly interesting to me". That last bit was worth adding.

It was a topic of interest to me at one point and I've spent plenty of time discussing it. It's just been going on for a very long time and not much is changing, so at the risk of sounding apathetic, it's sort of "old news" to me.

Fair enough. What interests you in this current day and age and the direction things are moving?

I would say my main topic of interest right now is global political trends. Specifically, I believe we have come to the end of the neoliberal order, and a new global political order is forming. We are in a very tumultuous and formative time when it comes to politics, and the stability of our democracies and our global economic order is at risk, particularly with the US retreating from the world stage.

The other two big topics of our time are AI and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, imo. AI has the power to transform our economy and will require major tax overhaul. Russia's war could escalate to WW3 if we're not careful, and the US is not being careful right now.

Ha. No. Nothing like that. But if you had to channel such paranoia into a contemporary conspiracy, what would you say?

Interesting question. As far as conspiracies go, I suppose I'd be most concerned about Musk's position in the US government after donating $300 million to Trump's campaign. That's probably a boring answer to you. Tbh, I'm usually skeptical of conspiracy theories.

(I never actually thought you doxxed me, that was a tongue-in-cheek question).
