Loved this, Alex! It’s especially timely for me; ive spent the last few years coming to terms with how certain things didn’t go as I expected/hoped in my career and I’m now in the thick of a huuuge pivot. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Yessss, that tolerance for ambiguity will let you make the right decisions, not the quickest decisions. (Also, the National Geographic series on Mars is so good -- it's like a dramatised documentary about how settlement could go! If you're still on that space streak, I recommend it.)
I also find it difficult to deal with uncertainty but the last two years or so has really put me in positions where I have to start embracing that/working with it a little bit more. Sending all the good vibes and positive though! Can’t wait to hear about what’s up next.
As for TTPD, I’m still very fixated on But Daddy I Love Him 👀
