I'm concerned one day one of your many hyperlinks will refer back to your substack and I won't be able to exit the article and nobody will be around to press Ctrl+C.

Hi there, long-time listener, first-time caller. Love your blog, and love this post as an avid void-screamer myself. Just wanted to mention that "peanut gallery" might be a phrase to do away with: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/commonly-terms-racist-origins/story?id=71840410

Huge +1 for the Godspeed You! Black Emperor reference. I'm obsessed with that dialogue, and the moment I read that, a cold chill went up my spine. Great article as usual!

Welcome to the #metacrisis (hey, at least it has a catchy name).

As always, I applaud you for your willingness to stare into the abyss so eloquently.

Today, I also grieve for you, and with you.

I do believe there is hope, but only on the Other Side of the abyss of infinite nothingness. Let me know when you feel like exploring it together....
