What is this?

It’s a Substack where I write weekly essays about philosophy.

Why should I subscribe to this? Don’t you write for a bunch of other places?

Yeah, but I mostly write about politics everywhere else, so if you want the philosophy writing, this is the place! Subscribe for free and you’ll get every new essay delivered to your inbox for free.

OK so what’s the point of being a paid subscriber?

Well, everything goes behind a paywall after a couple weeks. And only paid subscribers can leave comments or reply to posts through email. And I’ll probably come up with a bunch of other benefits for paid subscribers—forums, Q&A videos, that sort of thing. But those perks are all just ways of expressing gratitude for joining our little community here and helping me do this.

Mostly, a paid subscription is something to do if you’re excited about what I’m doing here and you want to support it. I’m really hoping this takes off enough that it becomes a big enough part of my income—which other than a little adjuncting around the edges is all a weird hodgepodge of freelance writing and podcasting gigs—that I can justify spending a as chunk of my time on it as I’d like to. Honestly, I’m ridiculously excited about the project. This is a kind of writing I’ve wanted to be able to do more of for a very long time.
