Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

“Do You Get Hate Mail?”

A philosopher sympathetic to my views asked me this question a year or two ago. I said that I used to, but no longer.

Now why might that be despite an enlarged readership in a time of increasing political anger?  One possible explanation is that we are now so 'siloed' into our positions that we read only our own.  

Speaking of silos, a Mormon friend of a non-Mormon friend of mine purchased an old ICBM silo in Arizona. Now that's one serious prepper.  Moderate in all things, including moderation, I keep my prepping within the bounds of sense. And I read everything. Nihil humanum, et cetera.
