Reading @bruces annual thing made me realize why I had an instinctive aversion to letter dot wiki. The mannered faux-genteel 18th-century republic-of-letters vibe is too jarring for me. The Well is 35 years old but feels fresher (both form/content) than this “Dear Joe” larping.

I feel bad about randomly criticizing a product, but I guess it fits within my broader anti-waldenponding polemic (if it can be called that). While I’m all for living in escapist fantasy realities, something about this particular contemporary subgenre irks me.

If you’re highly conscious of the need to be civil, the presumption is that you have potential reason to be uncivil, but are being noble and stoic in service of a Higher Truth. I think this is bs. Good conversations are civil as a side effect of genuine mutual interest.
