Quick note: this piece went mildly viral overnight (I’m not actually sure how, but never mind), which means I’ve woken up to a LOAD of comments/observations etc. I will get to them as and when I can today/tomorrow.

ETA: Every man and his dog decided this was worth reading and linking to, including Marginal Revolution. This means I have completely lost track of who is saying what to whom, and why. Apologies, one does one’s best, etc etc.

Well written! In my personal opinion, "accepting messy human reality" probably requires some decentralization, maybe *at least* back to where we were in the 1970s, if not a bit further back...

Tyler Cowen brought me here. I'm also a fan of Kingdom of the Wicked and didn't know you were on Substack

He also (and very kindly) shared the FT review of Book I way back in 2017 which is probably how you found my novels!

This is excellent serendipity.
