“I would not give a fig for the simplicity that lies this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity that lies on the other side of complexity.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes I’m writing to share that I’m launching a newsletter, but the subject may surprise you. While you may know me from my work in the food industry, now that I’m retired, I’m heading in a different direction. I’ll be writing about society, politics, and what we can do to cut through the noise and come to informed conclusions and intelligent solutions.
John, I am excited that you are doing this. I can't wait for the first seminar you host in a warm weather venue in February.
Bur seriously, the subject has promise. Regarding your next subject, I strongly recommend you take a look at Joseph Ellis's American Dialogue. In particular, the chapter on James Madison and the following chapter looking at today through that lens. It's a terrific takedown of originalism in line with Madison's pragmatic approach.
Glad that you are finding purpose in retirement. Something to look forward to.
Thanks Rich. Should be an interesting project. Actually, the next article will focus on the Founding documents ( Declaration of Independence and the Constitution) and how they should be used in Governance today.
