Dude...

I usually read quickly, because quickly is usually good enough. I slowed down for this one, and it was well worth it. Broad, deep, insightful, full of thoughts and perspectives I share with you.

Speaking frankly, while I enjoy and appreciate your LI posts, I've always been bothered by the caustic nature of many of them. Not because you aren't right, but because the mirror you hold up is sometimes too clean and polished. But this article is much more than that.

I'm reminded of Henry Rollins. He keeps mellowing with age and wisdom, yet he still speaks truth fearlessly and with intensity. His mellow is the brutally honest that many people fear to express. In that fear, they seek catharsis and validation - and Henry delivers.

You rock! 🤘🤘🤘

P.S. I don't subscribe to Substack. Their UX doesn't tell me whether or not I'll be notified of replies. So if I don't reply, it's not for lack of wanting to do so.
