It’s been a year since I started Uncharted Territories. Wow. Every day, we drown in the daily rush of news and data points and gossip and current events. I’m trying to build with you here a little island of sanity in the archipelago of long-term thinkers, away from the mainland of short-term thinking. The fact that you read my thoughts, share them, comment on them, correct me, and even, some of you, pay for them, is an unbelievable gift. I take it with immense gratitude. I’m unbelievably lucky.
I've enjoyed virtually every article that you and your team have created. The wide range of topics and the quality and depth of thought that are put into them makes them rewarding to read. I even think that digesting these pieces has helped me in better orating my own ideas and thoughts with others, both verbally and in writing. Thank YOU Tomas!
Goodness, thank YOU, Tomas. Thank you for the incredible quality of articles you write and the difference they have made in my life. I'm just one person and you have made a huge difference in my understanding of some things that are very important to me. You have improved the quality of my life and the lives of those around me in tangible and meaningful ways. When I see one of your articles in my inbox if at all possible I stop what I am doing and read. Thank you for writing. Thank you for saying yes to Substack---I look forward to paying my next subscription fee. Thank you for shining your light into a world that needs more light and contributing your time, thoughts and intelligence to this endeavor. You are deeply appreciated!
One of the things you do really well is help sort out what is actually of concern vs. what is just noise. As attention is one of the most important assets we have, being able to discern what to pay closer attention to and it's okay to ignore is super valuable.
I totally agree with many perfectly stated comments from others like Kay, JMac and Hamza. Even though they’ve said it all, I feel compelled to actually post additional compliments because I find this service too important to be encapsulated as a like.
I’m one of your “archipelago” people, and the short term noise from the “mainland” drives me to distraction and frustration.
It’s a genuine mental relief to find a source of media with depth, perspective and a focus on truly important topics rather than frippery and unsubstantiated opinion.
I've been a fan since your very first article about Covid! Wow! What an eye-opener! I've learned so much from you and your articles force me to think about things that I might not have otherwise which I believe we could all use more of these days. Thanks for all you do!!
Yes, exactly how I stumbled across Tomas, from the first article he wrote about Covid.
I started working 2 jobs totalling 48-52 hrs in May so now only sporadically read in here, but have randomly (like now) gone back months in my inbox to see what I missed. Phasing out a job now, so will have more free time by the end of this year. 🙂
Tomas, congratulations on your one-year anniversary! I appreciate your insights and viewpoint. Also, I appreciate your consideration of the commenters. The conversation becomes what John Henry Cardinal Newman called, “the play of lively minds.”
I look forward to your future thoughts. The past may be only prologue, as the saying goes, but this last year has been a great prologue.
Thank you John, for this, and for consistently increasing the already high average quality of comments. This is not the best format for debate, it even this is a part of the experience that I always look forward to!

Thank you, Tomas, for your work.
I appreciate your experimenting with different topics, levels of depth, and tradeoffs between free and premium articles. There are no right answers and even experiments that don't work well will point you in a better direction. And, of course, if you get a sudden inspiration to write a viral-potential article, or two, or three -- you should follow your instincts. After all, the most important thing for you, and for your readers, is that you enjoy what you are doing.
I want really to thank you for all this effort to make these incredible articles about very important issues Mr Tomas , I learned a lot from you , the insights and the in depth analysis are not available in many other platforms. Knowledge is power like we say , thanks again for giving all this time alongside your other professional and family responsibilities in order to share with people around the world your knowledge and works. It's really not easy , I imagine how much time needs to be spent to produce the quality that you produce. May God help you like you help us by not keeping everything secret , this is how our world is becaming , everyone wants knowlege in certain hands .. There are some topics that interest me I will suggest them in the comments of an article related to them.. Greetings from Tunis Tomas all the best inchala for the upcoming steps ..
Thank you for all your articles. They are truly enlightening. I wanted to ask if you could publish an article on Crypto- not necessarily what it is, but specifically if you think it is good or bad. Is it a virtuous invention where decentralization is an advantage, or in essence unregulated currency that doesnt do anything better than existing solutions?
For blockchain, Bitcoin is a proven use case. Outside of that, I can barely think of mechanisms for which blockchain is superior. That said, this sells blockchain short, because (1) I think more use cases will appear, (2) we underestimate Web3’s role in bypassing bad regulation, and (3) the ethos is at least as important, if not more, than the tech, at least for now.
Gracias a ti Tomás y a todos los que colaboran en los artículos y que nos aportais una cantidad ingente de información recopilada del pasado y presente para intentar conocer lo que se debe hacer en el futuro. Me parece que tenéis una gran generosidad compartiendo con personas como yo, que considero y siento tener muchas lagunas de conocimiento, todo lo que pensáis mentes con altos conocimientos científicos y con una genialidad que espero y supongo que descubriran muchos de los lectores. Los genios no son reconocidos por la masa pero son los que pueden cambiar el mundo y por eso espero que los gobernantes sí que tengan la suficiente inteligencia o sentido común como para seguir a las mentes especiales, trabajadoras y bien informadas como la de Tomás y seguro que de muchos más del equipo.
Espero que sigan los artículos y que nadie intente manipular ni comprar los resultados de vuestros análisis. Ánimo y por favor, seguid así. Gracias¡¡

JMac's comments reflect my value from Tomas's work too.
Super glad to hear. Thank you!

I have no words. Thank you, Kay.

One of the hardest things! People don't realize how much.
For me, the book that opened my eyes to that was Pre-suasion, by Cialdini. Highly recommended if you haven't read it!
Thank you for the recommendation. Will check it out.

Keep it up Tomas, it’s worth every cent and some.
Thank you Marc. Exactly what I try. Glad to see some people appreciate it :)

I have an NFTs one coming soon.

Jajaja gracias Marisa. Creo que lo que hace falta es más bien gente como nosotros en política!
Eso está claro pero no quiere ninguno bueno estar en política y , como no piden ningún cv para eso, así nos va.
Thank you Tomas. I hope your new business venture is going well.
I mean, no new business venture. This is is! I just need more time for juicier articles :)
What about the amazon for small businesses? Thought you moved to Spain to start a new venture.
Oh I’ve been working as the chief product officer of an existing company based in Paris for a few months! Not new anymore though :)
Tempus fugit ! Indeed. I've enjoyed your articles, Thomas, and will be looking forward to upcoming stuff
Congrats Tomas! Thanks for all your hard work, analysis and predictions!
Thx man!
