And so... felt a responsibility to some extent to make people aware of the trajectory of civilization and the natural tendency of the system to adapt towards its growth. And sort of that actually the laws of physics say that the future is going to be better and grander statistically, and we can make it so.

And if you believe in it, if you believe that the future would be better and you believe you have agency to make it happen, you're actually increasing the likelihood of that better future happening. And so I sort of felt a responsibility to sort of engineer a movement of viral optimism about the future

and build a community of people supporting each other to build and do hard things, do the things that need to be done for us to scale up civilization. Because at least to me, I don't think stagnation or slowing down is actually an option. fundamentally, life and the whole system, our whole civilization wants to grow.

And there's just far more cooperation when the system is growing rather than when it's declining and you have to decide how to split the pie. And so I've balanced both identities so far, but I guess recently the two have been merged more or less without my consent, so. You said a lot of really interesting things there.

Right. So I wrote the manifesto with my co-founder of EAC, an account named Bazelord, still anonymous, luckily, and hopefully forever. So it's Bazet, Buff, Jezzos, and Bazet.
