Great stuff as usual! Cool that you were able to do a bunch of interesting/unique speaking gigs, though your description of the no man's land in which you end up watching Andor instead of working on the things you either "should" or want to be working on is painfully relatable.
I have a slight gripe about lumping the left and the right in together. While on places like Twitter, I completely agree, both groups tend to be insufferable, irrational, and often authoritarian, in the current broader political landscape, it seems callous to make the "both sides are equally bad" argument. There's no comparison between what the political right in countries like the US and UK are doing with anyone in those places who are left of center.
To get me, a high school graduate salty Veteran living over in Belgium, working full time as a dock worker to read your long very very long news letter !!! You are doing something right !!! Watched you when you were doing videos while driving to work , love input and science and subscribed to nebula because of you !!! Doctors life is not a joke as my brother in law is one and I see first hand how Dam busy you all are, keep up with the passion and drive and I will keep following !!! Good to know you re still alive and kicking !!
The "become a Scottish lord" ads are so ridiculous that I can't imagine anyone who doesn't have $$$ to throw around wasting money on them, unlike the NFT/crypto scams. Otherwise reputable YouTubers taking ads from Better Help and similar mental health apps are also troubling.

"ADHD and working to a schedule"
I'm really curious about the ADHD stuff but appears to have been missed off?
