Found it on Moma.

Lots of novel thoughts and not simply reactions to others blogs. Just like to keep up with where your head is to question mine.

Detectives v. Magicians: Nature's Deadliest Rivalry

Seems like a TV trope piece? It scans. Since the author frames this as "nature's deadliest rivalry," do you think there might be something to mapping the detective and the magician to Jungian archetypes—perhaps looking at the Detective as the Seeker or the Ruler trying to establish order, and the Magician as the Shadow or the Trickster disrupting it?

found you on Twitter originally. Maybe the thing to do with your Substack is summarize your learnings from your conversations there. Nice thing about Substack posts is tweets embed cleanly. You have an interesting perspective, being a Googler while also being 'TPOT'-adjacent or maybe even a true group member; you are both an insider and outsider. What do you hear at the windy nexus and junction where only you sit? What do you see as the future of publishing and the future of being a creative madman when everybody is skinning themselves alive and publishing the flakes? What say you about identity and community, and maybe a bit about money-making and patronage?
