Mention of “Leon” may become an insider joke on this Substack. Am still chuckling. Since Myers and Briggs pegged me as an INTJ the J has always seemed either negative or a mistake. Now, thanks to you, I can wear it with pride. Another brilliant piece, Mr. Gage.
Who was it who said if you keep an open mind people will throw trash into it? Judgement is the most critical part of reasoning; it's the act of forming a conclusion and, therefore, closing your mind. It doesn't mean it's closed forever. It's just closed to trash.
Dear Leon, this is a message from your former English teacher, Miss Pedant. “Me and my dickhead friends …”. I am passing judgement on your grammar here. Otherwise I loved your essay.
This essay elucidates the main idea in my dystopian novel, The Never Not Yes, which indicts a culture unwilling to deny or set boundaries against even the most harmful tendencies in human nature, especially when it subverts our antagonists’ most harmful tendencies.
Congrats on full-time status which must mean you are making enough here to pay your way. No easy feat!
