I believe fiction can be the most powerful means of messaging. My novels warned of an American Spring more than a decade ago. My short story on Elon Musk six weeks before he rebranded to X creatively demonstrated how Musk could takeover Elections and the judicial system, leading to the trial of humanity. My breadth of writings on social, economic, and political essays could be of value. Would love to be involved in zoom discussions to contemplate next steps on how to engage the masses on the dangers ahead.
I’m a retired writer and editor. I think what you write is incredibly important, and I’d love to help you. (I’m also an inactive member of the California State Bar, if that’s of any interest.)
Hi Mike, thank you for the work you’ve done thus far, for keeping it accessible, and not giving in to fear, confusion, or complacency. I see from the comments that you have several offers to help with editing. I’ll throw my hat in the ring here as well. While I do not hold an advanced degree, I worked in communications for most of my career—with a specific focus on communicating complex information —mostly around engineering (including software) and architecture— to general audiences. I’m semi-retired and would be happy to discuss what you might need.
Hi Mike, I just went ahead and signed up for an annual subscription because your writing is just about the only thing helping make sense of the madness since the inauguration. If you still need any more help, I’m happy to throw my hat in the ring. I’ve been a Software Engineer for the federal government as a contractor for the last ten years, but before that one of my majors was philosophy and I dabbled in writing for a political blog while in school. Anyways, keep up the great work, I’ve been eagerly awaiting your pieces every day!
I’m a former USAF officer. I’ve also worked for a defense contractor 15 years and health ins company for 20. All my roles were communications related (PR, marketing, writing and editing of materials such as press releases, brochures, books and RFPs). I’m retired and would love to help. Let me know of interest here and we’ll connect. Will be paying for a subscription.
I’ve been enjoying your work, glad to have found it. If you’re interested in an occasional contribution and volunteer editing I have a few writing samples on my auto industry substack (dormant for a few years), and lots of unpublished work on philosophy and economics I could share.
My name is Ralph Palm. I would like to volunteer if you need any help editing. I have a PhD in philosophy (specialized in metaphysics and political philosophy) and 4 years as a professional copy editor (2 years for the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and 2 years freelance). I'm an American citizen, but I live in Belgium. If interested, you can DM me at @untravel.bluesky.social or message me via LinkedIn, and/or let me know how best to contact you.
If you want a highly political technical economist (general equilibrium of the carbon economy, energy systems) and a technically-inclined political economist (countervailing power, structure of technological revolutions, coalition formation and operation), all in one strange package that enjoys disclaiming in a truly bodacious Cal-Arky dialect (Northern California logging town), I got material for you.
Great to see you stepping up, and I hope more will answer the call! I'm not sure you'll be able to use someone like me, but I'll be more than happy to spread the message!

I can help with proof reading.

Mike, thank you for helping me understand our new opponent. They are waging intellectual, emotional, and spiritual warfare against us.

Is there someplace I can send a donation?
