Hi! I've been reading a lot of your essays after reading The Revelations (which I LOVE by the way, I can't stop recommending it to my friends. As someone who loves science, philosophy and literature, it's literally my dream book incarnate). I just wanted to say that I really really enjoy your writing and that I've learned so much cause your essays are really informative, but also the way you write makes them so interesting to read!! I’ve laughed, been emotional, and your work has sent me on far too many science rabbit holes. I loved this article as well for shedding some light on your writing process. I’ve had so much fun reading about your theories on the future, how you grew up in a bookstore (a literal dream, by the way, you’re so lucky!!), space billionaires, ufos, and the supersensorium + overfitting brain hypothesis of course. I find it fascinating how you’re able to form so many opinions on so many topics––- that’s something I sort of struggle with cause I feel like it’s way too easy to just accept what I read as truth (especially when reading your work!) so I have to constantly remind myself be on my toes and remember to try to think critically.. I didn’t expect to enjoy reading articles this much. Can’t wait to read more. I’m pretty new to this whole substack/essay thing (I didn't know substack was even a platform that existed before you) so I wanted to also ask if you might be able to recommend any blogs or even authors that write essays of a similar vein to yours? Or any authors whose work you enjoy? Thank you so much! :)
I really enjoyed reading this article. May your writing be filled with heavy handed richness. It seems that you pulled it off, and then some. Huzzah! "Even if you don’t pull it off, choose something mighty so that at least you fail on the slopes of a great mountain." -Hoel
