I Am Sitting at the Gates of Hell…
Always Thinking of How to Cope with What’s Emerging
Think of this as your “Newsletter Therapist”. I hope to help keep you sane in an insane time. In our increasingly chaotic world, where it seems that divisiveness and insanity are taking over, it is ever more important to try and stay sane and grounded. We can ward off these demons by keeping our humanity and good humor, while at the same time taking emerging threats seriously.
With this newsletter, you’ll get unique, thoughtful takes on current events, history, politics, culture, sports, and finance, with a splash of humor. This is not a breaking news site, but rather an effort to make sense of the breaking news in a non-hysterical, sensible, sometimes satirical, way.
What to Expect
My goal is to publish an article about twice a week, with about a 20-30% paywall rate. This will vary depending on what’s going on in the news or in my life, but this will be the general pattern. I want to give you enough content to make subscribing to me worth your while, while also not spamming the heck out of you.
Producing high-quality original material dictates some level of methodical thoughtfulness, and therefore, can’t be rushed. I’m more about quality over quantity. BUT, I am cognizant that in our increasingly content-centric economy, quantity does matter to some degree. If I can only produce highly engaging content one every 2-3 months, I would probably never gain a following.
Most of my posts will be about domestic politics, but there will also be economics and sports. I am also a bit of a cinephile, but don’t exactly stay on top of every movie the moment they are released (having a family can do that to you). But I like watching and analyzing movies, and still have a dream of writing a screenplay someday. So I plan on doing a regular feature that reviews random movies that I happen to watch.
Join the Community
My dream is to develop an engaged and active community to discuss my ideas and concepts with, while also earning a living. If I can write and discuss, and pay the bills and support the family that way, it would be such an amazing life for which I would be so thankful.
So please consider becoming a paid subscriber and spreading the word. Your contributions will help support my ability to provide high-quality, well-researched, and thought-provoking content to you and your friends and family. Together, we can move past this dark period in our history and help determine a more positive and productive future that creates a better world that benefits all of us.
Please also message me anytime with ideas or questions. My hope is to get enough engaged followers to have a Q&A feature that is focused solely on responding to readers’ questions and ideas.
If you want a different viewpoint than what you’re constantly seeing in the news or on talk shows and podcasts, please consider joining this community. I encourage everyone to participate in what I hope to be thought-provoking, helpful, and mind-altering discussions. Thank you!
