Max,

My situation really is that I don't have a lot of formal education, having avoided it with a passion. I dropped out of several schools and the final one gave me three credits for "work experience" and kicked me out the door.

Most of my knowledge comes from reading in my fairly limited free time and relating it to my understanding of how the world works. I'm the feral philosopher.

Which is to say that I'm just trying to put some ideas out and hoping they go viral, even if I don't get any credit.

That essay has been developing, but it might take awhile. Sort of framing it as the evolution of the West, rather than the history of the West.

My current worry is stepping on the wrong toes too many times. I've been shadow banned on SubStack since two days after posting God's Problems. Running the cursor over the buttons and the most I get is, run script"void(0)"
