In today’s newsletter, I wrote about Neil Postman’s 1985 book, Amusing Ourselves To Death, which begins: “Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us…. This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right.”

I schedule the email to go out at 7AM, and by the time I get back from dropping the kids off at school and going for a walk, there are often dozens of interesting comments to read.  Last week I simply posted an open thread and we ended up with almost 400 comments!

Truly my favorite place on the internet, though I’m still working out what goes on the blog and what goes in the newsletter. Always a work in progress…
