Hi friends,
It's been truly an insane month in American politics, but I've somehow managed to keep it together enough to finish this Tangent (maybe all the mindfulness meditation has improved my focus).
In a lot of ways this is an expansion on themes introduced in past Tangents: skepticism, psychedelics, New Age religion.
I'm going to be very busy the next couple months working on a main channel video that I've given a firm deadline in October (the video is not directly US election-related but it's not entirely unrelated either, and I'd like to have it out by then). I'm also planning a more ambitious livestream event—more details on that when there are details to report.
So I'm thinking that next month (August) it would be easier for me to do an old-fashioned AMA stream in lieu of a Tangent, if that's acceptable to you all. It would work the same as before, with $15+ patrons able to ask the questions on a post that would go up the week before the stream, and all patrons able to watch the stream and archive.
Tangents would resume either in September or whenever I publish the main channel project, depending on how that goes.
Anyway, here's spirituality.
Enjoy, and as always let me know what you think!
