The work
Open Questions
Five commitments, each a pair held in tension. The organizing questions of the essay “The Spirit of the Century.”
How do we expand our capacity while directing it toward human flourishing?
How do we push the frontier while preserving human value?
How do we embrace the world while holding together as a society?
How do we preserve political freedom while rising to meet urgent challenges?
How do we defend what's true while protecting the freedom to disagree?
