That said, I like the version of tim’s question where it’s kind of an A or B thing and I’m def on the same side as you for this

I wouldn’t be surprised if 3 jumps directly to 5. The economy over the past 10y was mostly great as a whole but centralized in a few big wins. Similarly, I think a golden age for humanity could come from a few big wins (ai, happiness psychotech, etc) we’re likely to contribute to

bullish is the good one right? i can literally never remember the valences of “bullish” and “bearish” sound the same to me. “i’m a large violent animal when it comes to this”
