It’s me, Charles Eisenstein’s anonymous pseudonym. You know I’m not scamming because I have a paid subscription and can comment. Make sure you hit subscribe so you don’t miss any Charles Eisenstein content!

(JUST KIDDING).

I signed up for a paid subscription today, but not to write this comment. I’ve spent a little time in NAAS and I’m mostly just interested in what kinds of views Charles might have that are inappropriate for the public audience. Could they really be more controversial than Covid dissent and vaccine skepticism? I’m curious!

Last thought — Genesis P Orridge said that as soon as your public persona develops a life of its own and starts restricting what you feel comfortable expressing as, you’ve got to kill it. And Duncan Trussell says becoming a guru is like catching athlete’s foot: kind of mildly embarrassing, uncomfortable and inconvenient.

I wish you luck in conquering the golem of your public image.

Thank you, Charles. This split seems like a good (healthy) idea. As a longtime subscriber/follower, I look forward to your Personal Journal. Having a steady link to someone who is reliably able to think/muse/ponder above the daily noise and (usually) maintains a compassionate response is very helpful for me. Otherwise, I fear drowning in the muddle of greed, stupidity, and downright meanness that is presently in circulation.
