Frequently imagined questions

(Questions I imagine people might frequently ask, if they were asking, which they aren't.)

What's the deal with this newsletter?

I used to hoard mantras on post-it notes all over my wall. A coworker suggested I should probably digitize them. Now I'm unhoarding them, one week at a time.

Why should I trust you?

I have a degree from the University of Western Ontario (Canada's foremost party school) and a certificate in tileology from my days in the flooring biz. In other words, you probably shouldn't. I also know an alarming amount about grout.

Who even are you?

Professional wonderer, recovering Canadian, current Portlander. Been marinating in American culture for over 10 years now. For more evidence of my existence, visit lookandpoint.com.

Your paid subscription costs more than zero dollars.

That's not a question, but I appreciate your attention to detail. It's priced at the minimum Substack allows—roughly equivalent to one latte per month (with oat milk upgrade). Consider it a tip jar for philosophy.

What if I think a microprinciple is wrong?

Hit reply and we'll fight about it! (By which I mean have a thoughtful exchange of ideas.) Actually, hit reply for any reason. Say howdy. Ask questions. Share your own principles. I'm here for all of it.

How can I support this newsletter?

If something here makes you think, share it with someone who might also like to think. I'm terrible at self-promotion (it's the Canadian in me), but I love meeting new humans through this newsletter.

Is there a secret question you're not telling us about?

Now there is.
