Thanks for appreciating my point. I’ve come to suspect ‘hot takes’ from anyone. They lead to doors slamming shut in people’s minds. Substack accounts that run hot takes are immediate unsubcribes for me. I can see why Twitter was a govt run op. The manner of communication itself is Matrix modeling. Seeing it (Social Media norms) here, on Substacks, at least the ones that emphasize critical thinking and staying with complex questions, not forced cheap “resolutions” to them (hot takes) the contrast is glaring and its off putting, big time. Hot takes are toxic to thinking.
