"But I hope, I hope, that we also write to share, to converse, and to change. To change our own minds, to change the minds of others. To listen to their response."
Incredible how technology affords this. The caveman version (which I use and love) requires writing and printing out version and handing hard copies to friends who may or may not be that interested by the topic, or might already so in-line that their conversation would be dull.
It's funny you say this! I'm hearing from multiple directions that print is back in vogue. It limits the bi-directionality of conversation relative to something like Substack (we're conversing!). But I wonder what a print-and-online solution could enable – print for deep reading, and online for the ensuing community conversation.
