I’ve got a lot on my mind these days, and I want to share it with you.
Anybody can listen. No subscription necessary.
Yes,
I’ll do some shameless plugging of my work. More than that, I’ll talk
about the last 20 years of writing online, and my efforts to get my
pieces out there---the successes and also the censorship.
The
censorship has been constant, even on so-called alternative sites. I’ll
talk about why. I think it’s important to understand why. Vital.
Writing
3 different blogs these days has given me new perspective. I can see
more clearly what connects with readers and what doesn’t connect, and
why. And this, too, is important to understand.
I’ve
been relentless for the past 20 years online, and I’m even more
relentless now. Which means I’m taking on the whole phony culture in
which we live and skewering it from every conceivable angle.
So
many people are falling victim to the culture and don’t even know
it. Their internal habits of thought and perception are changing. And
not for the better. I’m attacking that every day on Substack, in ways
that no one else is. That’s a fact.
I’ll talk about it in the podcast.
At
age 84, I’m not running across fields and valleys and hills at top
speed anymore. I’m not playing in parks from dawn to dusk with my
friends…but I’m writing more than I EVER have. That energy is spilling
over. Why? I want to talk about that in the podcast.
I’ve
found that when I build the inner fire higher, it grows still higher on
its own. That is VERY interesting to me, and I’ll talk about it. I
think you’ll find it interesting, too.
And yes, I’ll urge those of you who haven’t subscribed yet to do so. I’ll
tell you why I think you should---for the price of one breakfast a
month at a diner in 1990. There are exciting new bonuses coming for
people who pay for a yearly subscription. I’ll describe a few of them.
I can’t and won’t stop now. There’s no reason to.
Writing
every day for Substack has made me realize that CULTURE is the whole
story. We live in it and swim in it or we try to wall it off. Culture
shapes perception, and perception shapes thought, and this Culture
happens to be a MONSTER, so I’m out to slay it.
That decision and commitment have opened up a whole new world of writing for me.
Speaking
of which, I’m FOR writing and writers. I’m not ready to surrender the
future to the destruction of language. I don’t think you are, either.
The
general state of writing these days is wretched. Language is becoming a
dead operation whose sole purpose is transmitting data. Whereas writing
is supposed to set your hair on fire. It’s supposed to wake up the dead
and the half-dead and those who are dozing.
I’ll talk about that.
I’m inviting EVERY ONE OF YOU to buckle up and join me in this podcast.
No holds barred.
