"set myself the task of starting with a blank sheet of paper and asking not what it means to be a "conservative" or a "liberal" today (frankly, who cares?) but rather how we maximize the resilience and self-propulsion of every citizen and community in America--that is, their ability to both absorb shocks and keep progressing in this age of accelerations. It is a different approach to politics--a necessary one, I believe--and it yields a political agenda unlike anything on offer in America today."
