+Where do I [[start writing]]? As I write in the Agora I feel like I might be finding it harder and harder to know where to start individual pieces, and where to end them; it might have to do with the fact that I've spent the last two years focused on cross-linking (building relationships) more than in longer form writing. Perhaps this focused has reshaped my brain somewhat; or perhaps writing has always been hard, and this is just a [[narrative]].

+As we enter [[2022]], I believe we are in a better position than ever to accomplish many great things as a society -- and this goes for many definitions of society, up to and including perhaps the most important, that as society as the group of all humans[^1].
