My good buddy Max in Santa Fe bought me a subscription, I paid him back, because my bank wouldn't allow the transaction to go through. I've been reading everything you post the past couple of years. I applaud your awareness and writing ability.

I read ๐‘๐‘’๐‘› a thousand years ago. So appreciative of being reminded of it with this wonderful essay.

Lots of great commentary, too. I gravitated particularly to your point about pretension. That whole paragraph encapsulates so much. Pretension came to the fore in a way I'd never seen it, I don't think. Its evil counterpart, IMO? Sanctimony. That vice, too, was everywhere, is everywhere it seems.

I just learned of the murder of Persig's son here. It made me gasp. So heartbreaking.

Thank you againโ€ฆ
