Sent you my upvote in a way that can't be flagged away. Your one of the more interesting authors I've encountered here. Although I don't agree with everything you propose, I sometimes wonder if some of that is due to ignorance on my part. I've never been exposed to many of the things you share, and sadly haven't had the time to investigate a small fraction of what you give links to. Hopeful that will change at some point, as I am drawn to historical contexts/thoughts. Years ago I had to stop my obsession with history as it made me so sad it felt like it was eating my soul.
