More than a couple people have expressed their surprise at the amount of content I’ve been putting out. I know it’s a lot.
But you love it.
I have it on good authority that keeping up with the biweekly Syllojism challenges can be… a challenge. The good news is we’re taking a little break so you can catch up. Season 1 will culminate in a Simulation Spectacular, and then we’ll dig into some of the stuff we did over the last 6 months before starting Season 2.
I’m going to spend some time breaking down some of the concepts that we cruised through, but I’d like to know where to start. Leave me a comment about what you’d like more explanation on and through what platform.

How do you best enjoy my content?
TikTok, Substack, Memestagram, Video (YouTube), Audio (podcast), T-shirts, Twitter (ew)…something I haven’t thought of
Leave me a comment below with your answer and I’ll be sure to make a special post for you.
A little update… back in April I was bummed out about rejection, but I just found out yesterday that one of my pieces will be published in a pretty influential magazine. And… our Worldbuilding application received an honorable mention. We could win a prize if you want to go give feedback on it! So, thank you for interacting with my content. Your support keeps me motivated. I love writing these updates knowing you read it.
I’ll be putting out 2 paid newsletters by next Weds, so if you’ve been considering upgrading your subscription, please do. One of them is pretty juicy.
1. Writing this as I read.
3 spiritual libertarianism
5 The Bell Curve,
6 the Fermi paradox, the attention economy
8 Effective Altruism
Oh what the hell, I am going to listen to them all now.
2. I am a reader but might shift into listening your podcast.
1. Ep10 was my favorite so far, mainly because it was the first episode I came to where I had a pre-episode interest in the topic. In other words, I was already curious about Tik Tok before listening to the episode, whereas with other episodes it was a topic I didn't care much about or have much interest in. So, while I always enjoy listening, that was the one that really got my attention.
2. Audio podcast.
