Ranas, great taste in reading and thank you for including me. I agree there is a vibe to substack that is primordial and precursive and potentially deeply exciting. Or it could fizzle. Or it could be crushed under its own weight. All the same, we are of a similar mind.
I only started using Substack a few weeks ago actively, and haven't started my own just yet, but about half of this echoes the super long... 'thing' I'm writing (that'll be broken up into the first few posts, and about page), and you follow a bunch of the same people I already do.
Something is indeed happening here. Hell... if Zizek is here, that's enough of a reason to be here, no? haha
Oh thank you for including me! I must admit it came as a surprise. But I agree, it is a deeply exciting endeavour to be here at what we can hope would be the birth of a new enterprise. One human reaching out to another, asking 'do you feel the same'. I love the quote by Baldwin that you shared above! Writing is a form of empathy, a means of keeping ourselves and others alive.
Thoughtful reflections and I love the bibliographical approach. Thanks for including me. I am looking forward to reading your suggestions and I always look forward to your writings.
“Embrace art, embrace religions, embrace stories, embrace nature”. So well said. And you’re right - this seems to be a new counterculture current. It gives me hope.
Thanks for taking out the time to read this and your thoughtful comment! Hope you continue to read and provide thoughts on similar pieces where I plan to explore along similar lines.

Love your thoughts. Hope to read more of it soon.

P.s. you're better writer than you know!

Thank you for the mention! It's very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading! And hope you continue. Look forward to more writing from you.

I definitely will! Thematically, I want to explore these topics on Substack too.
Think for the kind words Raymond. Means a lot to me. Hope to see you reading and sharing your thoughts in the future
