Thank you, Dayne. Look at me actually talking about needing to make a living and not only letting people pay me but encouraging them to without feeling like I am selling my soul! How far have I come? Clyde says he's going to need to do some kind of Turing test on me to make sure I have not been replaced by some kind of compliant, rationally self-interested AI, because I have actually been listening to his advice on this issue for a change!
Oh! I thought we were actually all on the same thread which is why I am bothering you about it, but it seems we are not. How is it possible for me to be this technologically incompetent?
It's honestly hard to cling onto my actual liberal values in the face of this assault on reason. I found myself starting to understand the Medieval Inquisition...
Something I've been meaning to do for quite some time, as I've admired your work ever since discovering it - your writing is wonderfully lucid and effective in its careful disentangling of difficult/ambiguous/confusing cultural & political ideas, and the systematic & comprehensive way in which you address them is exemplary.
Thank you for trying to subscribe! I'm afraid I don't know how Substack processes this. @Dayne, do you know who Mary should speak to? Hmm, that has not tagged Dayne. I will share this to him.
Helen, thank you for your lending your incredible brain to such important issues. You deserve much more credit and kudos 🙏❤️

Dayne, can you advise?

Congratulations! Well deserved. More power to your typing fingers!
You're one of the sane voices that keeps me left of centre.
This makes me happy!

Hold on!!!
I agree with Dayne! Grateful for your intellect and courage, Helen!
Well done Helen. I hope it continues to grow for you.
Fishbeanmash forever!
(but more seriously, keep doing what you're doing, you're always proving a very thoughtful and interesting read and we're happy to support this)
Honesty! Turns out to be incredibly effective :-)
Thank you Helen!
You just got yourself another paid subscriber...

(PS- yes, I'm another STEM-based fan 🙂)
Ha! Welcome and thank you, fellow systemising nerd! You've pushed the date I will have to look for outside work back a little further!
Helen, I tried to upgrade to paid, but it declined my card--which is in working order. Any ideas on how to proceed.
