A New Year's Resolution?

Back to writing.

Hello friends,

I’ve been inactive on this substack for the last year or so. I’ve got a backlog of half-written essays and half-baked ideas I want to talk about, but haven’t had the time or motivation to finish. That’s going to change starting now.

I plan on posting at least one ~2,000 word essay every other week this year. I will send them out on Monday mornings and might occasionally publish two weeks in a row. That seems like a reasonable output given that I am working full time and taking classes at night. Half of these posts will be pay-walled and subscriptions will be $5 a month.

Topics that will be covered:

1. Commenting/building on the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, including finishing my “Revaluation of all Values” series and a new series called “The Preachers of Equality”.

2. Human behavioral sciences, including cognitive science, evolutionary psychology, behavioral genetics, anthropology, and psychometrics.

3. Some political commentary, mostly about my disdain for left-wing thought police and right-wing populism.

4. Morality, mythology, the meaning crisis, and anything else that I feel like talking about.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I’m back and will be posting regularly for the foreseeable future. If I fail to live up to that, feel free to say mean things to me on here or X.

Along with this email you will also receive this week’s post.
