It has been a long time since I have written here regularly. This blog used to be the place where I worked through ideas in public—thinking out loud, asking questions, and sometimes changing my mind along the way. I still look back on those days with a lot of appreciation.

Over the last few years, most of my writing has moved to my Patreon page. That’s where I tend to post my longer reflections and current thoughts now.

I just published a new post there—an open letter about the need for humility in our conversations with one another and the limits of our certainty. If that sounds interesting to you, you can read it here:

You’re welcome to follow along there for free, and if you ever feel like supporting the work, that option is available as well.

Either way, I’m grateful for those of you who have been reading my thoughts for all these years.
