[Now](https://trattner.github.io/i-could-never.html?ref=andys.blog) I see most [precisely](https://world.hey.com/tratt/876x-too-slow-1e7588f4?ref=andys.blog) and clearly [***why***](https://andys.blog/prediction/). It [feels](https://trattner.github.io/piling-up.html?ref=andys.blog) like [nobody](https://world.hey.com/tratt/a-letter-from-10-days-in-hell-ab4bc648?ref=andys.blog) [else](https://chatgptiseatingtheworld.com/2023/12/16/openai-is-hiring-for-new-superalignment-team/?ref=andys.blog) could [possibly](https://ssi.inc/?ref=andys.blog) ever [understand](https://andys.blog/ambition/).

This is [absolutely](https://ampersandu.com/?ref=andys.blog) [liberating](https://andys.blog/influences/), and [highly](https://capitalismunlocked.com/?ref=andys.blog) [aligned](https://andytrattner.com/alignment?ref=andys.blog) with my [unfathomably deep](https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Upon-Deep-Zones-Thought/dp/0812515285?ref=andys.blog) [personal](https://andys.blog/future/) [hopes](https://trattner.github.io/img/pdf/graceful-Seth-Godin-ebook.pdf?ref=andys.blog), [dreams](https://andys.blog/sam/), and [fears](https://world.hey.com/tratt/two-big-fast-bb-investment-ideas-a697eb68?ref=andys.blog) that I [constantly](https://andys.blog/tyler/) [biologically](https://andys.blog/dear-peter/) [battle](https://world.hey.com/tratt/i-m-starting-a-new-religion-this-is-not-a-joke-e8505f8a?ref=andys.blog). I have a strong [loss function](https://world.hey.com/tratt/i-suck-a58fd300?ref=andys.blog), so even when I [gain useful skills](https://world.hey.com/tratt/what-i-learned-from-friends-family-fundraising-a1d3fac1?ref=andys.blog), there's [always more to be done](https://x.com/andytrattner/status/2004054227270733986?s=20&ref=andys.blog). [Thank you](https://x.com/andytrattner/status/1999165125102830073?s=20&ref=andys.blog) for the [unexpected](https://world.hey.com/tratt/second-in-command-9305d7e6?ref=andys.blog) [gift](https://andys.blog/rfw/) [you](https://trattner.github.io/religious-awakening.html?ref=andys.blog) [gave](https://world.hey.com/tratt/extreme-adopter-f624df4e?ref=andys.blog) [me](https://world.hey.com/tratt/learning-to-love-6019a5d0?ref=andys.blog) on [Christmas](https://world.hey.com/tratt/what-s-it-about-9f19943f?ref=andys.blog). It [turns out](https://world.hey.com/tratt/hire-slow-fire-fast-37ab9382?ref=andys.blog) [I was not](https://x.com/andytrattner/status/1951637374229995966?s=20&ref=andys.blog) the [gift to the world](https://world.hey.com/tratt/ghandi-for-ai-5f978f28?ref=andys.blog) that I [thought](https://andys.blog/dear-peter/) I was [yesterday](https://andys.blog/drt/). [Happens a lot](https://andys.blog/xai/), so I'm [highly used to it](https://world.hey.com/tratt/failure-is-part-of-the-thing-f313875e?ref=andys.blog) and *exceedingly comfortable* with it! In fact, I [see](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-player%5Fcharacter?ref=andys.blog#:~:text=A%20non%2Dplayer%20character%20%28NPC,product%20of%20true%20artificial%20intelligence.) [you gave me](https://andys.blog/zlevel/) the [truest gift](https://world.hey.com/tratt/the-bards-of-our-day-4005293f?ref=andys.blog) of [learning more](https://andys.blog/zscore/) about [myself](https://andys.blog/strategizing/). What a [supreme joy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-player%5Fcharacter?ref=andys.blog#:~:text=A%20non%2Dplayer%20character%20%28NPC,product%20of%20true%20artificial%20intelligence.), it [infuses my being](https://world.hey.com/tratt/these-are-the-days-44a5c322?ref=andys.blog), for [real](https://www.humaninvariant.com/blog/presence?ref=andys.blog)! I'm excited to [move](https://world.hey.com/tratt/moving-to-sf-erdos-style-d362b77e?ref=andys.blog) to Greenville South Carolina, my new home, where my journey will [continue](https://andys.blog/talent/). I've [done](https://x.com/andytrattner/status/2004054227270733986?s=20&ref=andys.blog) what [I can](https://trattner.github.io/giving-what-we-can?ref=andys.blog) in [SF](https://andys.blog/sfsmells/). The [internet](https://andys.blog/internet/) is a fascinating place. I just need to take a step back since my brain gets overloaded when I work on my [writing](https://andys.blog/people-search/). [As I've said many times before, and will say in some form or another every day in the future, the people in my life are everything to me](https://world.hey.com/tratt/come-visit-ecuador-69485f58?ref=andys.blog). As always, I'm revising my [plan](https://andys.blog/plan/) according to my deepest of inner principles, to live in greatest possible harmony with [*The Infinite Game*](https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Game-Simon-Sinek/dp/073521350X?ref=andys.blog).

I always have, and I always will, to the best of my abilities as an *increasingly* poor, fragile, fallible creature. I'm doing everything I can and appreciate your patience. I look forward to [joining the flow](https://x.com/AdamMGrant/status/1487821471904944131?s=20&ref=andys.blog) in the new year with a new blog.
