I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine.

@HeyRohhit Looking forward to her next lecture on reinforcement learning!

This is something real. 💙

A matter of trust.

Every year, Finland tops the World Happiness Report. Economists point to welfare systems. Sociologists cite education. But having visited Finland — and eventually bought an apartment in Vantaa — I think the real answer is something harder to measure.

It's trust. Not as a value on a poster. As the actual foundation of how society works.

From the very first trip, it struck me. People trust strangers. Institutions trust citizens. The state trusts its people to make good decisions, and people trust the state not to abuse that. It sounds simple. It is anything but.

When I went through the process of buying property in Finland, the contrast with other places I know was almost surreal. The system assumed good faith — at every step. No one treated me like a potential problem to be managed. That trust wasn't naive. It was structural, built over generations into laws, culture, and everyday habits.

And here's the thing about trust: it's self-reinforcing. When people trust each other, they cooperate. When they cooperate, things work. When things work, trust deepens. Finland isn't happy despite its challenges — it's resilient through them because the social fabric holds.

Happiness reports measure outcomes. Trust is the mechanism. That's what Finland quietly taught me. 🇫🇮

Being trusted with uncertainty is not abandonment — it is initiation.

@samimuho @_protagonisti_ @KatjaAnette ….Enon kansaa kyllä viestittelin aamulla ja vien jotain NHL kivaa täältä tuliaiseksi. Ei munkaan kummitäti ollut mun Protujuhlissa, mutta monta arvokasta tuntia on vietetty yhdessä tallilla ja yliopistolla 🙏🏻

[Anna Lindström @ajlindstrom]

@samimuho @_protagonisti_ @KatjaAnette …kannattaa toki pahoitella hänelle itselleen ettet päässyt paikalla ja ehdottaa tällä verukkeella et tekisette yhdessä jotain kivaa. Mun miehen kummipojan ripari oli tänään. Missasi juhlat (asutaan Kaliforniassa) ja ei soiteltu edes, pojalla oli kiire viettämään aikaa kavereiden

@kilipassi @WampieHS @OttoMeri Onko siis silmitön tappaminen mielestäsi ihan ookoo jos sitä ei ole virallisessa tuomioistuimessa todettu kansanmurhaksi? Mitä uutisia oikein luet? Entä jos puoli maailmaa hyötyy taloudellisesti Israelista ja siksi ei “viitsi” tuomita sen tekoja?

@TommiVoutilaine @MikaIhamuotila +1 Ostin Teslan 2018 työkaluksi - en jälleenmyyntiarvon vuoksi. Ilmainen sc on plussaa; säästetty on ~200k km lentoja ja aikaa, käytöllä en tue firmaa. 12V akku á $260 ja HEPA huoltokuluina. Musk ei ansaitse huomiota tai aikaa teoillaan. Seuraavaksi muuta kun aika on.

If spending midsummer around the Bay Area and want to tune in, Finlandia Foundation will offer meet and greet with Esa-Pekka Salonen at San Francisco Symphony! 💙 https://t.co/gXIfuqdA0v

SF Climate Week in the books. Amazing climate community in so many ways. Appreciate it all; great humans and wonderful panels. 🙏🏻 This bike ride was definitely a sweet start!

[G2 Venture Partners @G2VPLLC]

Taco Tuesday Ride @SFClimateWeek is in the books!! Thanks to the amazing climate community that came out for this. Great things happen when over 100 Founders + Funders + Friends get out on the bikes! 🚲

@congruentvc @UnionLabs @G2VPLLC

[Anna Lindström @ajlindstrom]

@RjOkami Haha, would be great to catch up with your dad as well. You got my address, feel free to order anything here so it will be a perfect excuse for us to meet! PS. Let me know when you’re planning for a trip to California!

[Anna Lindström @ajlindstrom]

@RjOkami I would LOVE to visit you in Japan! 💚 Been mapping out the best roads to ride for quite some time. Hopefully spring -25 would have time budget for that. Also Cycle Mode in Tokyo might be in plans. Should know by fall!

[Anna Lindström @ajlindstrom]

@RjOkami Oh! Let me know if there is any other gear you’d like me to bring from California… I still got that magazine for you! Flying to Finland in July - might need to go for work to Germany for a while, Eurobike etc. Would be sweet to get to catch up!

@Okahkonen Kalatacot itse kalastetusta kalasta on parasta. Nää etikkapunasipulit on huippu lisuke! Avocado kuuluu jossain muodossa aina mukaan. Salsa myös ja korianteri. https://t.co/TkZm4LZoir

@setuominen Lapsen menetyksen surua kantaa mukanaan aina. Halaus. Kuunteluun lumen peittämille poluille, https://t.co/jpBTJNP60n

[Anna Lindström @ajlindstrom]

@TonyTeeri @Sumassamu Surullista kyllä, liian moni mieluummin autoilee ruuhkassa myös kuntosalille ajamaan pyörää tai kävelemään juoksumatolla vaikka voisi sen sijaan kävellä matkan pysäkille… Pidän heille hiljaisen hetken myös tänään.

[Anna Lindström @ajlindstrom]

@Okahkonen Vaikuttaisi liikenne olevan sujuvaa myös ilman yksityisautoilijoita. Kumman puute on sulle suurempi etu? 1) Bussilastillinen ihmisiä bussissa vaui 2) Bussilastillinen omalla autolla matkustavia?

[Anna Lindström @ajlindstrom]

@RjOkami Ha, I haven’t watched TMNT since elementary, when the boy next door was into it… so will be nostalgic for sure! Oh, loved Frieren as well, what a gem!💎 There should be few more episodes out by the holidays so luckily we get to watch more. Only first 12 were out last time.

[Anna Lindström @ajlindstrom]

@RjOkami Aww, will add this to our movie list to watch with kids when all are home after finals! Though last evening at Thanksgiving break we spent watching first season of Frieren w/ my girls so maybe they got a long list waiting as well…
