This is not a rant against social media or any other content, whether in or out of the mainstream. Rather, I’ve come to realize that most of what I’ve been reading makes me either bored or unhappy. That’s completely my fault as there is no shortage of available reading material that could make me happy and spark valuable thoughts.
This is wise. And I’m definitely going to look into Powell. That sounds right up my alley!
Finally, I was very surprised to see a mention of my post about my uncle. Thank you so much for that, and I am truly moved that you found it worth your time.
I really liked this one and it fit just perfectly, the day after Adam Mastroianni’s piece urging me to quit paying so much attention to the news: https://experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/reading-the-news-is-the-new-smoking. One of the things that made it so striking is the detail of your observations--letting us hear what moved you in the stuff you read, not just mentioning it.
