Ive often wondered if your goal with your writing is to stay relevant, after having struck gold once. Guess i wasnt far off the mark.
July? I think ill wait and see. Theres a lot of books to read, and who knows if yours will still be *relevant* after such a span of time.
Tis a good pitch though. I particularly like your stroking of the readers ego, like this..
"is deeply appreciated by the most thoughtful people across the ideological spectrum"
Oh is that me? Am i part of the most thoughtful? I must be, im reading this!
Nice.. and i imagine it works on those "thoughtful people".
"if that’s all you can afford."
And a little classic negging! Excellent way to try to clinch the deal.
I havent made up my mind about you yet. I do agree that youre very honest in conveying your thoughts, but i also find you a bit too plastic, and that makes me think your real goal is remaining "relevant" to collect that cheddar. I think ill keep my money for now(though i almost bought a subscription just to find out what your dating advice looks like lol).
Btw, where did you land on how much ai does your writing? I remember you suggested we should pay to ensure we're getting the genuine article, as it were. Are we poor shlubs just getting the ai slop, or is it more like "RH, enhanced by ai"?
Alright, I ordered the hard cover, kindle, and audiobook (I had a credit for the latter).
Not sure about the title from a marketing perspective. Most people (even the sort of people who read books like this) won't understand it, and I'll bet a decent-sized minority will confuse it with kritarchy and decide that you're a raging anti-semite!
Holding off on upgrade, mostly because I'm cheap but also it feels like an attempt to buy access to a public intellectual sphere that I haven't earned.
I am surprised you’d want to do the audiobook yourself. Not that your voice is terrible. But generally the people who do audiobooks have like top 0.5% quality voices. Is it that they take too big of a cut?
Do you think its possible for both parties (Dems & Reps) to both be anti-populist at the same time? Or would this just leave too big of an opening for some 3rd party contender to carve out a special populist niche. Say like how Ross Perot took 19% of the vote in 1992 or how La Follette took 17% of the vote in 1924, or even how Teddy took 27% of the vote in 1912.
"my goal has been to become so relevant"

I kid, i kid! Twas a well crafted pitch
Congrats on the book, looking forward to it!
Welcome to the Left, Richard. Settle in and make yourself at home.

preordered, looking forward to the read--don't always agree with your views, but definitely think the title describes current populism
