Mailbag #3
I haven’t done a mailbag in a while, so leave your questions here for the next one, which I’ll get to in the next few weeks. Anyone can ask a question, but I will give priority to those of paid subscribers and the answers will be paywalled.
I used to arrange comments by likes in these posts, but I won’t this time because it biases the results. Feel free to like the questions you want to see answered, but they won’t get an artificial boost in terms of visibility. For previous mailbags, see here.
Also, allow me to plug the meetings, which you can schedule here. My readers are almost always interesting, and I enjoy talking to you guys. And once in a while, I like to think that I help people make difficult life decisions.
