Hi Giulia!

To this day, the internet feels strange to me,

but a cookbook about 'Cucina Povera' let me smile, also I think your cucina, will be much better tasting to me, than the one I grew up with. Thanks for this!

I'm definitely looking forward to reading Jonathan Haidt and his After Babel.

I haven't read Haidt’s work. But I did purchase a copy of The Righteous Mind for a dollar last week and look forward to reading it.

Haidt is required reading my man

Ha. I'm definitely reading it and still looking forward to it. Yet “Zoomers” isn't exactly a selling point to me. I've heard good things about Haidt, though the people who had praised him, excluding here, weren’t people whose recommendations I’d follow.

Zoomers was my term. He uses the term GenZ. People born since 1995, in his generational terminology.

Cool. He'll be focusing heavily on "Zoomers" and their struggle for values and mental health.

Really a great rounded group

Yes, indeed. And since I curate five articles for my newsletter every week, I know how much effort it takes to come up with a well rounded compilation like this.

Beautiful short story by Dennard Dayle that deserves to be read widely.

Education should be a priority in every nation on Earth

Herman Hesse’s Magister Ludi, also known as The Glass Bead Game. It’s, uh … very Herman Hesse. I'm midway. I still have no idea how the “game” is played.

I just crossposted to my Substack Tulsi Gabbard's podcast interview with the world's most-followed beekeeper. It's so good, I listened to it twice! https://tulsi.substack.com/p/why-bees-are-vital-to-our-existence

🎥 Cinema Speculation by Quentin Tarantino

3 chapters in and his gushing on of Dirty Harry

reminds me of seeing Falling Down in 93

in which i was 10 then, seeing on home video 📹

this nonfiction personal ramble through cinema

plays like a freudian feverdream 🔥

Fascinating note about looking for single-channel experiences. Limiting options can free up creativity

I have this book on the way:

I've placed a 'subscribe to my Substack' as a predatory note. And I've used my substack for pieces of the text which didn't make it into the final book:
