About Notes from the Underground
So what’s Notes from the Underground even for? In a cacophonous world why sign up for yet another addition to all the noise out there? Maybe for this reason: that one of the main missions of this newsletter will be to give readers the weapons necessary to debunk and sometimes even prebunk the worst and most insidious of the bogus claims and arguments widely disseminated in the modern world. I’ll try to pre-emptively identify the legion of conspiracists, grifters and hoaxers who plague our public discourse. And frankly I’ll have some fun doing it and you’ll have some fun reading it.
Then there’s the business of myth-sifting - separating plausible nonsense from the complicated truth (or the nearest thing we can find to it).
