Whether or not you are talking up Substack, there's an enormous amount of cogent thinking in here. Thanks.

Didn’t know that Substack was partly NZ owned. This makes me extra happy to be here!

Moving from printed media to easily shaped non print digital media. Or as Chris Hedges puts forward in his book Empire of Illusion. The cultural embrace of illusion and celebrity culture have accompanied a growing system of casino capitalism, which creates vast wealth for elites. Corporations have ruthlessly dismantled and destroyed our manufacturing base and impoverished our working class. Hedges exposes the mechanisms that undermine our democracy and divert us from the economic, environmental, political, and moral collapse around us. A culture that cannot distinguish between reality and illusion dies, Hedges argues, and we are dying now."
