Shit another fucking banger. Ngl, One of the best newsletters I get in my inbox, and I sub to almost everyone. This is mb also speaking bout the quality, or rather soul, of the others, which they apparently lack. Just seeing this, cuz I read yours.

But the energy was off the charts in issue 13, I FELT it, brimming with the chi as I write this, now. You had lots of cool concepts I haven read before, of the top of my head: soaring twenties (lol ofc), the rhyming rather than repeating of history, the cool one was: Paris is the DMs and such.

But I think overall you put in words what I've been feeling, tingling, too. I couldnt, and quite, put my finger on it. I smelled it in the air, so to say.

That, Now's our Chance.

Strip away the legend, and the legends were just flesh and blood.

That said, Nows the time for our Legends. Our legends to be born.

This notion struck me as I read the passage of World war one and the flu and Yet there was an Apparent Moveable Feast. They put their stamp on history, to make it such, to spin it in that way, and we now see it as such. The Legend. The Roaring, and The Twenties.

People will now. This is our time.

Even if on our deathbed, we didn't leave that mark we intended.

We at least shot for the stars, something, something that was more than mundanity, and the ratta race, and the normie filth.

You leave me unconfortable here Thomas... I usually have something to say, something to add to your weekly newsletters, but this one leaves my speechless. I don't see anything of value to add, I felt like you said it all, in even better words than I could.

The fall of the gatekeepers (good thing) and the atomization of society (less of a good thing) might indeed profit the artist within the coming decade. You made a good point regarding History, and I think that the artists - GenZ or millenials - that will thrive will be the ones who believe there is more than cautionary tales and dust to be found there. They will be the ones with the strength and curiosity to immerge themselves in the past and bring back from its depths the forbidden gems that the gatekeepers kept hidden from us all along. And by transmuting this raw and old material, they'll be able to create the gold of our generation. I except many writers and artists to be "rediscovered" within the next years. And after a long enough time, the small tribes born from the atomization of society and the internet-era will progressively merge together and create the schools of thought of tomorrow.

Exciting future, indeed.
