Are any of you Substack creators able to create a new video post right now, or does it default to an audio post (asking for an audio file) when you try to do that?
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
Alex I love to hear you talking philosophy. Recent episodes with Destiny and Folley were especially compelling. You even make religion interesting (Demiurge) and 15 out of 10 for getting at least some sense out of Peterson. I marvel at your ability to say stuff in the moment that I would have wished I had thought of weeks later. But - you knew there'd be a but. I am really saddened to hear you moan about the culture we live in. I cringed hearing you whingeing about architecture last winter. Now…
I don’t quite understand your objection to Alex’s view. Is there a reason he shouldn’t express his aesthetic sensibilities and preferences? Also, I don’t think that being in the “minority” tends to bother him much :)
I value his work because he retains a fantastic ability to argue sensitively and intelligently, often drawing people out because he treads a fine line between challenge and reflection. Grumbling about what other people enjoy is what plebs like us do. Alex is usually much better than that.
