Important take on the social and psychic effects of disinvesting in a national vision based on public service and good. This piece, as much as I've ever read, gets at why the economy feels like a cynical, soulless shell-game played at the expense of our collective well-being.

I don't know where we begin rebuilding a noncommercial commons, and get people exchanging ideas in search of self. So many digital intermediaries between us all. So few mechanisms for fostering self-direction, and so many for reinforcing vanity and anxiety and phobia to extract our money. But it feels like an important project.

All of which to say: let me know if you want to make time for a little writerly confabulating this week ✍️🍻
