It's a very inspiring text, conveying an unparalleled energy. Back to the real heroes, without victimization, without feminism, without guilt about doing good for the sake of doing good.

I haven’t read any real fiction in years, and this isn’t REALLY my genre, but I’m in. Anything to support one of my favorite writers.

One thing I noticed when I saw Maverick (which was the first movie I has seen in a theater in quite some time due to all of the slop reasons listed above) was the bit prior to the start where Tom Cruise said thanks to the audience for coming to the theater to see the film. I don't know why that stood out to me so much, because on the surface, it seems kind of silly. Tom has his issues, but to me, it was - classy. It was respectful of the audience - the same audience that has been disrespected for a very long time and an acknowledgement that without the audience, you don't have jack.

Very good point.

"Normalcy" is now seen as radical and transformative.

"Stories aren’t mere diversions; they’re the psychic scaffolding upon which societies build their self-conception, the archetypes that encode truths deeper than facts, and the narratives that either liberate or enslave the human spirit. " Well, that is One Beautiful Nutshell, my friend. ...also, congratulations! One baby wasn't enough...

Great reminder of how far we fell and how quickly (in my opinion) we will rise without all of the elements that have been stacked against us!

I’m checking to support your project, because although it’s not my typical genre, I do believe in you and your wife.

your angle is supported by the findings of prof Frankfurt, which I came across in my new hobby
