so interesting and full of wisdoms.....will offer one idea as per "the market" for the novel it seems to me the problem is not only being perceived as entitled "white" guy it seems the market for reading books (or alot of stuff) is totally weighted towards the bulk of readers: females!! just take a look at substack and im not complaining but this island in my opinion is ruled by a superior tribe ha

enjoy the day what a lovely bride and quote from madame bovary sublime

"Serious art reflects society as it is in all its juicy complexity; it doesn’t dumb everything down to a Manichean dichotomy of good versus evil and try to force you to think a certain way."....."Instead we need freedom. Balance. Centrism. Open-mindedness, empathy, self-awareness..." - AMEN. Your newsletters are always so refreshingly substantial, intelligent, and balanced. You inspire me to learn, read more, improve my writing, and think bigger. Thank you.

In your Welcome email you state: "We need to return to sanity, some notion of objective shared reality, and common sense." Absolutely right. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.

Agreed. And I look forward to more insights. You've had an interesting journey and the solid truths you've stumbled across will ultimately outlive the woke. But for now, we are all stymied.
