I'm launching a newsletter, called @insight. I want to try to create a space for thinking deeply about complex, thorny but important puzzles, along with a community. Something between public writing and social media: some of both but neither. Sign up here:https://zeynep.substack.com/p/welcome-to-insight …

I'm also thinking of trying take suggestions/questions for the newsletter. Not questions I can definitively answer, but the kind of thinking outloud/thinking together I wish I could do more of, but usually cannot find the right outlet to do it. That's one big reason for
@insight.Show this thread -
Thank you everyone for support and the many suggestions. I've set up an educational institution option ($1 per month) and journalists should email support@substackinc.com to sign-up for free. Still learning the ropes of the logistics of offering free subs! https://zeynep.substack.com/discount pic.twitter.com/zLAOLylnCg

*checks news* For the record, I'd like to note that one of my own motivations to start the
@insight newsletter was to write *more* ambiguous stuff that I'm openly ambivalent about and wanting more of a process of collective thinking, and my editors are awesome! *hides*Show this thread

I love it. I won’t be able to join the discussions, as I can’t afford the fee, but I’m glad you also offer a free option.
This way I’ll be able to read some of your articles and think about them on my own. -
I wouldn't worry about that distinction for now...

As someone who knows a bit about direct marketing, It was the strangest pitch letter I've ever read. And as you admit, it wasn't a pitch really. But sometimes that works anyway, appealing to the discerning.

I know, right? It's anything but a pitch in any traditional sense. I apparently have.. no idea how to write a traditional pitch. I'd actually love to pay one to write one for it, just to see what it would look like. :-D
