Considering the degree to which conventional-minded people outnumber independent-minded ones, I feel fortunate to have published those two essays on the distinction between the two with as little blowback as I did.

That's one of the points in the essay.

Paul, for the Nth time - blowback is not what you think it is. You post reads as « I’ve only received death threats to me and family, without anyone actually trying to kill us », whereas the reality is «people have not disagreed with my thoughts as loudly as I thought they would»

Part of the latter being that a lot of us who previously put a heavy weight into your words were quite disillusioned by your takes over the last couple of years here on twitter, so when the essays came around we just rolled our eyes and moved ahead.
