Haven't read further than the new no-schedule schedule. I say Two Thumbs Up!! Surprise me, surprise yourselves, write whatever whenever; that works for me.
You can also count me as a supporter of the experimental schedule. Intermittent rewards are the best, and I’ve enjoyed coming along for the journey of this newsletter over the past couple of years. 👍
I'd like to know how Donald Hoffman's theory compares to Rupert Spira's description of nondual consciousness in this SAND presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=WV-naO9ULp8&feature=emb_logo. I wonder if Mr. Hoffman's "emotionally wrenching" implications would change if informed by the idea that the underlying reality is love.
I really enjoyed the Donald Hoffman pieces. Sure brings present what we don't know that we don't know, the knowing of which will make all the difference. I am sure you read The Atlantic article "The 2020 Disinformation War" by McKay Coppins but thought I would mention it for others if they have not read it. I like you being freed up for timely interviews and not chained to a newsletter weekly. Watching particularly John Wayne movies growing up in the 1950s took me decades to get over that image of masculinity that I could not measure up to so movies can be inspiring to be sure and they can do a lot of damage as well. I always enjoy Nikita's newsletter.

Maybe a Part 3?

You've probably read this - but it is a new rationalist version of Russell's group/tribalism/rationalisty. https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/
