Hehe... it is a component. I suffer from academic ADHD - I have a
hard time keeping to one project. And when I get offtopic I get
seriously offtopic. <br>

But at FHI we also take information hazards seriously. If we are
trying to discover things truly important for the future and actions
that can relevantly transform it, then we should expect to find some
things that are massively risky to spread around. So we better learn
to keep <i>stumm </i>about those. But it requires recognizing that
they belong in this category...<br>
