Cultural Note
'Ik vind...' (I think/consider...) is the Dutch way of expressing opinions. It's constantly used: 'Ik vind het leuk' (I like it), 'Ik vind het lekker' (I think it's tasty). This meaning is separate from 'to find' (physically locate). Dutch directness means people freely share what they 'vinden.'
