Hello Joan. Great to see that you're out there! I saw your list of substacks and noticed Aaron Mate and Matt Taibbi. Going by this, I assume that you too have witnessed the entire world turning upside down and inside out. Almost overnight! Life has always been weird. How did it get so much weirder? So fast?...
At age 74, it doesn't seem that sudden to me. Or new. And human history is full of everything we're seeing now, just without nuclear weapons, social media, and climate change in the mix. And given all that, it does look pretty dark in terms of human survival and what's coming in the near future, although I try not to exude Doom and Gloom, because who knows what might happen.
Hi Joan - what a terrific selection of reading recommendations. I already purchased the David Hinton book and am a happy owner of your own book.
