Footnotes 1. and 2. are salient points.

And the theme of authenticity is the key moving forward.

Heh, I didn't subscribe for the polemics. Honestly that's a dime a dozen. I enjoyed more your spiritual writings, garden, and nature observations. For whatever reason, people on the "Right" like to doomscroll.

It's going to take a generation to really fix anything and that would require getting rid of at least half the illegals. Pursue contentment and what truly brings you joy!

Glad to hear it, because there will be a lot more of that. I think a lot of us are weary of the battle and need to recoup some spiritual strength.

I had a feeling that you had been gathering yourself. I appreciate your writing. Yes, especially when you added your unique voice to the polemic. I really love your garden posts. I look forward to reading about your other projects. I am fascinated by the book binding and happy to hear that you are going to self-publish. I will be one of the first to purchase your book.

I sent a text to my boss over the weekend, "Authenticity is the currency of the future." Don't remember where I took it from, but the idea keeps appearing, and here you present it again.

If there is one thing that William Hunter Duncan represents, it is Authenticity!

Thank you.

Thankyou for the shoutout Hunter. Also - I think stepping away from “the current discussion” is a smart move. As much as it’s necessary for the fight to continue, there’s a time and place for all things.

It actually reminds me a lot of the bitcoin fight over the last decade. I spent so much time in the trenches yelling and doing all the things - while the entire world thought we were insane. But now a new generation of people are in the trenches and considering how much it’s evolved, I’m out of there and onto other things.

Wishing you the best, and as you know, I’ll be your first leather book-cover client !

Welcome Aleksander, and appreciated. Yes, there has to be some down time, one cannot be at war always.

I bound my first leather hardcover yesterday. It is coming along nicely but not commercial quality yet.

Do you ever listen to Jesse Welles? I think you could cover his songs, although some of his more provocative lyrics might get you thrown out of New Jersey. I picked out a couple I think you might like--

Honestly, I’m excited for what you are going to be diving into. Plenty of people on Substack do discourse, your engagement with the poetry, gardening, philosophy, and the esoteric is what makes your page unique.

It's been a pleasure. And thank you for the great kimchi ideas.

The best thing one can do for oneself is listening to your inner voice and heart. Being able to recognize the end of one journey and to move forward towards the next is healthy living. Best of luck on what’s best for you!

Thank you, and very true. As exemplified by the Wheel of Fortune #10 card. Roll with, ride the wheel, don't fight it, take control of your destiny.
