To be completely honest, I want to spend more time with it. It covers a lot of ground, between the historical and your own philosophical take on it all (if I’m reading correctly).
Whatever piece of writing draws me back to it after the first read is done is, in my mind, excellent writing indeed. We have such narrow perceptions of what good writing is. We are presented with models everywhere, but truth is, we all think differently, and our writing should reflect the intricacies of our thinking. And it won’t be legible for everyone, maybe, but for some it will be amazing 😉
Amazing piece! Thank you!
I am glad it struck a chord with you. I was worried that it was too diffuse and rambling.
