Since 2020, 13 different Hacker News readers have linked it 13 times, most often “What Are the Humanities? Why Are They Worth Saving?”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-11-01, and you can follow it by feed.

Why HN links it
HN readers link this Substack as a source of long-form writing. The linked posts include "Books Become Games", which one commenter compares to a piece on crypto, the left and technofeudalism.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
It's the Internet, ἁspirated.
