A brilliant exposition but I wouldn't trust any substack writer asking for donations or paid subscriptions no matter how poverty stricken they may be...no matter how enlightening their particular brand of sh*t may be; and it is as much sh*t as anyone else's because it is immediately compromised the moment there is any degree of public funding that supposedly enables free speech which really isn't free anymore if one is even asked to donate a cup of coffee; otherwise we have little more than the never-ending variations and brands of the Wellness Company and the countless shills for products that Big Pharma is still propagandizing and killing us with.

Though in my defense, at least I'm not peddling unfounded fears, and then trying to sell you the amygdala balm.
