I rarely comment on politics, the economy, or global affairs on this blog. It’s not for a lack of opinions.
Commenting on the news is easy. There is always news. But if all you ever talk about is today, 99% of your stuff will be irrelevant come tomorrow.
Of course, 99% of my writing might end up in obscurity anyway. But if I can reduce that percentage to 95% by skipping the politics, that’s a chance worth taking.
Jeff Bezos once said that “What’ll change in the next 10 years?” isn’t nearly as interesting of a question as “What won’t change in the next 10 years?”
Headlines get washed away with the evening tide. Whatever you are honed in on, choose to focus on the parts that remain.
