That doesn't make him a political centrist, because his policies are vastly progressive. But you see Mamdani employing the same exact listening skills and amplifying the stories that matter.
How we solve such problems will surely differ; that's human nature.

My takeaway from the interview: Newsom isn't specifically looking to be liked by anyone, but he does care if you care about making this world a better place, and wants you to know he is doing what he can given his specific context, because we all need to embrace contradictions to find a way forward.

Also #TIL Newsom has severe dyslexia.
That is new to me, but I can sort of see it - as a human with a neurodivergent brain chemistry myself.

Newsom's favorite book is "Built to Last":

I remember #TheGeniusOfTheAnd from when I read this book in the 1990s - and I just realized I have long strayed away from that principle, having fallen prey to the #TyrannyOfTheOR.

Newsom has clearly weighed the responsibility of being home to 32 of the top 50 AI companies worldwide.
Look, you all can say "f**k AI", but we can't make it go away. So we have to make sure it's developed ethically and responsibly. A democratized technology can't fully achieve that on its own.

The male loneliness epidemic is among the many problems in this society that has been politically weaponized and the chasm is widening.
I do think that political leaders who listen and try to understand the core of what the opposition believe in, are needed, but rare.

Next the law will be amended to allow AI to make posthumous decisions on financial assets owned by the deceased and we humans who are left alive would have to battle it out. Maybe the AI would keep those assets, locked up. What a legal nightmare that would be.
