An old man turns to look back and reflect upon the society that produced him and offers commentary and ephemera on a variety of topics
Welcome to The Paleomillennialist by me, Heath. purveyor of news, views, clues that this is all a ruse. aiming to publish twice a week -- comment, reviews, and serialized fictional offerings.
Substack tricked me. I didn’t realize this was an official “post”. They asked me for some of that sweet ‘TENT (content, for the uninitiated) but didn’t give me the ‘TEXT (context, obv) necessary to know how it was going to appear. Then they wrote, on my behalf, “Welcome to the etc etc by me, Heath.” I didn’t write that. This is a problem. I can’t promise my posts won’t have some AI-generated elements to them anymore, and it grieves me.
I will start publishing this when the correct confluence of events take place: enough people sign up, I catch a little ol thing called the divine spark of inspirado, and the money’s right. The third thing will never happen, so it’s the one mulligan, or whatever the word for “don’t have to do it” would be in golf, that I’ll award myself.
Who am I kidding, I’ll award myself constantly once I get into position societally. That’s the long game, though. I’ll try not to implicate my readership in any wrongdoing but let’s face it, this newsletter will have served its purpose by then and a few things get deleted here and there and it’s like it never happened. Okay? But only worry about that once you start to see the awards coming out.
Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue. Also text not written by me, but I am more okay with this sentence than that opener.
In the mean time, tell your friends! Or, you know, don’t! They might find it weird. I guess that’s in place for people with a genuine following who use this. I really think the average person would find it weird to just be told of a strange man’s Substack email subscription blog, and then there’s be the whole thing of explaining to them what that even means, and that yes, you may have heard of Substack thanks writers that charge money for serialized works using it as their main platform but that this strange man’s substack is free, and then you gotta explain why anyone would do this for free, etc. etc. How about this—I trust you to tell your friends if you find it at all relevant, and if not, you’re free to do something else in the “mean time.” (I didn’t write the first sentence of this paragraph either, if you were wondering.)
