Hopeful and sinister remarks:

• Why those with power want to influence substrate monopolies

• Why substack and the open internet is so powerful for those to make their table and host the conversation themselves

• You can buy the table and buy the guests

• You can ask morally aligned people to sit at your table - esp if you have the persuasiveness and charm or appeal to entice them to do it, even without money.

We have many choices about what to host and how to invite folks to the tables ahead. In some ways, this is our highest leverage action class, for mezzo-macro impact.
