Understanding would be an overstatement, but there's a mental model in my head about the interaction between personal liberty, privacy, automation, encryption, state power, human psychology, and the feedback loops that connect them that I sometimes get larger glimpses of. Then again, that feeling of occasional clarity is probably how a crank feels.

But in terms of stuff I struggle to get my mind around, that is the most complicated thing by far I have ever tried to understand. That and the grammar of numbers in Slavic languages.
