The section on Taking Ideas Seriously reminded me of a recent piece of writing that landed in my inbox. It's by Henrik Karlsson, and it is about a way of processing information actively which we rarely do - actively pushing back against the ideas we form.

A good ancestor takes on the set of problems that they can have the greatest impact in solving. If today there is an opportunity to prevent a global technocracy from taking power, we must tackle that problem, as future generations will not be likely to have a chance to overthrow such a powerful entity. If a future generation will have an equal chance of solving a certain problem, and delaying the solving of the problem doesn't cause immense suffering, it is not the ancestor's most pressing problem to solve.
