This will be a day of a lot of things, and maybe more posts for posterity.
I wrote this to a paid subscriber on June 22, 2023 and thought I would leave it here, too:
My goal is to eventually figure out how to create a real journalism outlet. I think what people don’t get is that journalism is supposed to be neutral and cover a lot of different viewpoints. I have no idea how we solve anything. I am not a member of a political party, but believe in so many values about the role of the individual in an interdependent world.
I believe that politics strangles so much of the way forward to solutions. One person can tell eight others what to think, and then those eight people’s minds will close to anything except what that one person will say
I am non-partisan because I don’t think anyone or any one group has a monopoly on the truth. I’m terrified of the power that that metaphorical one person has on others…. I want everyone to think and to question and to use their brain.
I want every single person on this planet to be able to reach their full potential. That’s why I write the way I do.
This story is crucial. How do we rethink how to fix the problems? How do we lessen the power of demagogues while trying to make individual outcomes better?
For me? An absolute love of humanity and our potential!
