 Finally actually setting up my nostr profile. Been lurking in ro mode for a while but convinced this is the place to be. I’m off all other socials and want to engage here. Found nostr through @ODELL and @Gigi 

Plan on exploring writing for the first time and hope to share some of it.

Attempting to live simply and undistracted.

I have a strong family and I aim to lead them well toward a telos that matters.

“There are books to be read; landscapes to be walked; friends to be with; life to be fully lived. And I realize that this is, in some ways, just another tale in the vast book of human frailty. But this new epidemic of distraction is our civilization’s specific weakness. And its threat is not so much to our minds, even as they shape-shift under the pressure. The threat is to our souls. At this rate, if the noise does not relent, we might even forget we have any.” - I Used to Be a Human Being an essay by Andrew Sullivan. 
 Epidemic of distraction indeed. Welcome 🫂 
 Welcome. 🙏 

This is actually interesting. I have never thought about this. But we can get people to lurk, no need to purple pill friends all the way. 

They can just come and check things out.
