I believe in paying for good quality research and writing and support almost 30 Substackers via paid subscriptions. Yours is one of only 3 I have gifted subscriptions to and moreover occupies the gold medal position for me. I appreciate your courage, commitment to our cause and increasing candour concerning your personal history. In terms of past articles. I think the Wrapping Up the “Sound of Freedom” Controversy had the most visceral impact on me as it laid bare what I consider to be the most heinous crimes that can be committed by the powerful against the vulnerable innocent. I would be interested in a professional pilot's explanation for why airlines don't fly over Antartica (no demand for direct Adelaide to Tierra Del Fuego flights?) and also the Contrail v Chemtrail controversy. Before then I hope you enjoy what will be a well-deserved break.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! For myself, don't worry so much about a writing schedule. Sometimes, there are periods with no articles, sometimes there are quite a few. It doesn't always match the amount of time I have to read them, so I wait a few days to read them. We all have many things going on in our lives, and that includes you. Quality is so much more important here than a well-run schedule... we're a community, not an airline ;)
Merry Christmas, Lily! You are an exceptional writer, quite possibly one of the finest I've ever had the pleasure of reading. May your insights and wisdom continue to inspire us for a long time to come.
God bless you Lily for your dedication, professionalism and passion for your work. It is the latter that holds people, in my opinion, and you excel here with the extent and depth of your research and knowledge. I look forward to every offering with eager anticipation, although I sometimes have to sit quietly and carefully digest the enormity of some of your observations. We are moving into very dangerous times and although I am convinced we will come out the other side, as history is constantly witness to, it will be painful and messy. I have grandchildren and so this last point sits heavily with me and also motivates me to find my contribution to the coming fight. Have a fabulous festive break that is so well earned and I truly look forward to to experiencing 2024 in your company. Kindest.
When I first found you, your content wasn't put up consistently. When you decided to move forward with this and put up lots of in depth content, it made me an even bigger fan. I'll continue to support you. I've been awful about clicking like... I've read pretty much everything you've posted... so I went back and liked everything. I'll continue to do so. It's so important for voices like yours to be heard. Thanks Lily and have a joyous Holiday with those you love!
On the engagement front Lily, I find it annoying (very) that the two substack subscriptions I pay for are the ones that show up the least in my feed. They should have primacy.
Thank-you for pulling back the curtain - have a great Xmas.
Lily, your writing has advanced markedly the last 12mos as has your thinking in a good direction from my perspective. One of the things we never do is to reflect on the dynamism of our own internal development. I found that a personal diary, only for one’s personal consumption, will reveal major shifts forward in perceptions of which we are not normally aware. Only by keeping a private diary and reviewing it periodically can we truly get a handle on that elusive track we are always developing. I found we are making huge strides even in a few weeks which unless there is a reference point we are simply unaware of our own progress.
I see history as playing out almost as war games between the sociopaths vs the rest of humanity in a huge power struggle. The sociopath mentality is demeaning and tribal while the rest of us seek to work cooperatively with all parties gaining. We have in the past lost our direction to these people temporarily as they sought total control i.e., Hitler, Stalin, and today Biden, Xi, WEF and investment people. We let it go to the ultimate crisis point i.e., wide-spread war, before reigning these people back in. It is always the battle of average individuals following the ‘Golden Rule’ more or less vs the power seekers, the tribal elite sociopaths. The stupidity (the evil if you will) of human history can be read once you understand the sociopathic mind and view events based on their twisted basis of society as their personal stepping stone to wealth/power.
My suggestion is to review the literature on these people. There is not a lot but I would begin with Cleckley’s “The Mask of Sanity”, 1941. The best thesis ever written in my opinion and then move to Robert Hare’s work, The Psychopathic Test (this is online) and Jon Ronsons’ “The Psychopathic Test” , 2011. Ronson took Hare’s seminar on how to use The Psychopathic Test and then applied it, very insightful.
I think delving into this aspect of humanity will open up a new dimension to writing. Understanding what was behind some of the behavior you discuss and presenting it to readers will advance your goal of educating and informing your audience with valuable perceptions.
We are still in early stages of understanding the influence of sociopathic behavior on society with Cleckley being the first to truly identify it as such and lay out the problems these aberrant individuals create. They are part of our tribal past but still with us genetically.
