Why subscribe?

This blog deals with the current events from a philosophical point of view inspired by the Roman philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65 AD). Some stoic philosophy, a sprinkle of modern catastrophism, and a healthy dose of system dynamics modeling (Seneca had no idea of what it was, but if he could have, I am sure he would have loved it). If you subscribe, you’ll receive updates directly into your mailbox — I try to publish a post every week, typically on Sundays, but I can’t guarantee to keep this schedule all the time. Most of the posts are free for everyone, but if you like to support the blog by becoming a paid subscriber, your contribution is welcome!
