Reading this piece, I was shocked that you do not have a larger audience. I found you through YouTube and you introduced me to Substack as a platform! I’m not a devoted Substack user and I’ve only been able to read your work because I receive your articles directly to my email hence why I have never known the number of interactions your work receives. I just wanted to make a comment to let you know that I look forward to your articles every week. For a while your emails were being placed into my junk mail, and I thought you had stopped writing, but thankfully this was not the case. The way you write and can break complex philosophical concepts into pieces which are digestible by someone like me (a novice to philosophy) is a skill not many people have. In a selfish way it made me happy that I am one of very few people in the world who get to experience your writing. Anyway, I’m sure this comment section is not meant to be used like this, but I do hope you know that your writing makes a vast impact on my life, if not anyone else’s.

What a beautiful finish to the article.

My only question is: If (the hypothetical) you enjoyed your own work, and you thought it was good and worth reading for others of like-minded taste, would you not be compelled to spread the word? Sometimes I get so annoyed at how hard it is to find stuff on the internet that I actually like, oh contraire, Algorithm! I cannot just type in the specifics of what I like, it do not work.

Oh what if all the good sounds were found in QR codes pasted over powerlines, yes that would be far easier than jumping through hyperspace a million times over, so dodge the brainrot and go "hey what's this? a real thing in the world, this is neat!" Fuck it, even a tidy linktree that spans all social medias which contain only what's Important, that'd be easier to stumble across and bookmark; everyone is spread too thinly across seperated channels, and when they're not, they're hacks.

Be the hack to all the hacks.
