Its an excellent piece that I am familiar with, thank you for the reminder:). At first I wondered if MidWestern Doctor substack was by the same author. Re hat+ring. It is the most momentous times. I think I have just been a bit childish and selfish TBH. I love my tiny, simple life of farming and academic pursuits. I don't want to be involved and yet I am realising, that perhaps I must, whether I like it or not, if only to preserve my little piece of heaven. Thank you for reminding me of what is important is worth fighting for.
