And I do think you're absolutely correct. I've long been critical of the over-rationalization of life and I think focusing on feelings, on emotion, is a much more powerful way to connect with one another and maintain relationships.
I think this is why I've always vibed so hard with your writing, and why so many other people do too. You're always feelings-first, in a way that feels brave and vulnerable. The more the world gets of that kind of writing, the better off we all are, I reckon. That's the legacy guys like us ought to be leaving for our kids, and the next generation.
One of my mentors, Mr. Itoh (INTEC's first president) once told me that our forties are where we really make our mark. You're on the cusp of that decade, but you've already taken bold steps in that direction. I am constantly amazed at your prolificity.
I truly hope humankind stays (goes back) to that 'left' column. For the most part, that's where I am (except I don't really play sports - but I do love to watch my Blue Jays).
Very much agree about feeling being the currency of the future (and more than likely the present).
Looking forward to hearing how your education journey goes — I know all of your readers are rooting for you.
That's very kind of you, Taegan. Thank you. I appreciate it. And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Very cool, Jayson! Good luck in the MBA program!

Thank you, Eddie! (And thanks for the restack!)

Man, thanks for the kind words! I like how you're always getting us to think beyond ourselves.
Thanks, man. That's the idea, anyway!
Thanks for the shoutout, Jayson. And congrats on going back to school.
Thanks, Lucas.
P.S. Sorry about the missing comma in my comment.

Thank you for reading, Robert. And thank you for the constant encouragement and inspiration. Let's hope Mr. Itoh is right.

GO JAYS!
