It’s an unspeakable tragedy. But this is HN and I thought we were meant to skip the obvious and focus on insightful debate.

With any terror event, tragic as it might be, the aftermath tends to be way more impactful than the actual event. The death of 5,000 people in WTC started at least one UN-sanctioned war and cost the lives of many times more than the airplane strikes.

So yes, I’m choosing to focus on the aftermath. But Sir David, rest in peace.
