1/5. I want to write about what I am thinking about now, and I want my writing to reach those who want to read it. So I am starting a new medium, "Thinking about...", as a newsletter on @SubstackInc. snyder.substack.com
2/5. In "Thinking about..." I will write about the expected: democracy, freedom, the past, the future, Europe, America, the world. But I will also range more freely than I have been able to do elsewhere, into literature, philosophy, poetry, and maybe even sports.
3/5. After the announcement post, my next 3 posts on "Thinking about..." will be an article on the US as a vaccine superpower, a translation of a poem, and a remembrance of Henry Aaron. Thinking is more unpredictable than algorithms are, and I hope you will find this refreshing.
4/5. It has been tough, especially during the pandemic, to get questions, and not to have a good way to answer them. If you subscribe to "Thinking about..." your questions will reach me, and inform what I write in the future. snyder.substack.com
5/5. The idea of "Thinking about..." is to give thoughts a home. I like the idea of trying to transform the internet, at least a corner of it, into a sane space. snyder.substack.com
