Humans are not automatically strategic.

We do not always take time to think through what we want to achieve and how we plan to achieve that. It isn’t a factory default setting in people to consider how our plans might go wrong, or whether this is really what we want. That can work out for us, especially when what we want to do is a normal, expected thing that most people set out to do and succeed at.

Many of us aren’t living normal, expected life paths. Today, we’re going to take some time to sit and reason about our goals and do deliberately what we might not do automatically.

For those who are interested, we're also going to make some predictions about 2025 with Fatebook (a lightweight tool for predictions.) They have a Predict Your Year page (https://fatebook.io/predict-your-year) that I've enjoyed!

I'll be wearing a bright blue bandana. I'll hang out near the entrance for about fifteen minutes, then head to the back where it's quieter- keep going past the food tables and look to your left.
