Dear Reader,
My computer decided to fail me on Sunday afternoon, my steady Henry Flower. So forgive the late missive this week.
I had the pleasure of writing a guest essay for the New York Times on the booming loneliness industry. You can read it here.
Next read: July 20th: Hannah Arendt’s “Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship”
The great computer crash of 2025 has left me in catch-up mode, so I’m going to push our first read forward by one week. The rest of the schedule will stay the same.
July
July 20th: Hannah Arendt’s “Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship”
July 27th: Hannah Arendt’s “Thinking and Moral Considerations”
August
Herman Melville, MOBY-DICK; or, THE WHALE.

Some poems for your week!
Until soon,
Sam
I like the Emerson piece. Good luck with the machine.
Thanks for seeing me into the week
