It was very satisfying for me as well, as I discovered you and him at approximately the same time. It's a nice intersection as I'm supporting both on Substack as well.
I hope to see more conversations between the pair of you. Thank you again.
Tremendous interview, thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, very low key and pleasant conversation. Answered a question which has been a point of contention in my home, every time I want to tell my husband about something I’ve read or seen of yours he gets hung up on the name, “Morgoth”. As a LOTR nerd he can’t get over why you would want to be associated with one of the least desirable characters . I’ve never seen this explained in any of the essays I’ve read or listened to and I’ve covered nearly all I could find, hoping to find an explanation. Your idea of cycling through names made sense to him as it’s similar to how he comes up with passwords for work which must change monthly.
This conversation highlighted a lot of what I most enjoy about your content. You don’t sugar coat anything, but you aren’t bitter, you manage to find a way to find a pleasant hour or two in spite of knowing full well all the irreparable damage that is being done to a way of life receding quickly into the past and far beyond reclamation. Grounding so much of your time outdoors, in nature, makes the difference, and is an important example. Most of us can still get in touch with reality and away from the screens if we make the effort.
