Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

A quick thank you, and a small gift

Hello my friend,

I wanted to take a brief moment to say thank you.

Just six months ago, I began this publication to write on the Great Books and thinkers of the West. Since then, more than 3,000 readers have joined me — and that’s something I don’t take lightly.

It’s a genuine joy, honor, and privilege to write each week on the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, and to do so for such a wonderful and esteemed audience… and this is just the beginning!

My mission here is simple but ambitious:

To spearhead a revival in classical education — a love not just for the great books, but the great ideas that once built (and can still renew) Western Civilization. There’s much more work to do, but this year has been an incredible beginning!

But in the meantime, I’ll be largely offline until 2026, though you can expect an article next Saturday, January 3rd.

As a gesture of gratitude, I’ll be running a 48-hour discount throughout this weekend. Both weekly and annual subscriptions will be 30% off — the cheapest it will ever be!

This project is 100% reader supported, and paid members receive:

• An extra full length article each week

• Full access to the entire archive

• Access to recordings of all future videos and podcasts published on Substack

If my work has added value to your reading life this year, I’d be honored to have your support as we move on into the next.

Wishing you a blessed Christmas season and the happiest of New Years!
