Good luck - subscribed and excited to see where this takes you! Really enjoyed the essay. The rise of the digital economy has obviated the need to actually do things in ones life. The collapse of the divine has reduced many of us to unquestioning materialists and rendered the need to think outside the self obsolete. One sad byproduct of these changes is that we are now beset on all sides, as you note, by onanistic autofiction trafficking in a plodding yet insubstantial blend of narcissism and self-consciousness.

Thanks for the subcribe, CKC !
Mr. Fry (Stephen...?) - unsure exactly how to respond to your, and not wanting to be too cringe-inducing a fan, I'll just say: Quite Interesting.
But really, thank you for the very kind words - Mnemosyne and Mnemosyne's Nine are very important to me as well.
Thank you MJE! Fear in the Godly sense. Which means I love her, too! I'll certainly be writing about her soon.
