Thank you Bari for having the courage to have written and run the important stories we have been privileged to read this past year. I share them regularly with friends and family who otherwise are often ignorant of the issues on which you focus, thanks to a “mainstream media” which is biased beyond recognition. I also of course encourage them to subscribe, so that you can continue this critical work. Bravo!
I am listening to the interview with Jaron Lanier in the Was the Internet a Horrible Mistake podcast. Is he really a distinguished visionary or a merely a demagogue enjoying the sound of his own voice?
Somehow I can't shed the feeling that his presentation, as well as the entire Silicon Valley clique influencing most aspects of our daily lives, supports the suspicion that the Internet and, especially, personal computer technology, was created as a money-making wonder toys without a second thought, let alone substantial analysis of possible consequences and implications.
In short, once again, I hear a lot of clever wordsmithing without taking any responsibility for the wrong he and the likes brought upon humanity.
Great reads....I'll read anything you post! I will listen, read and learn. I will read all the comments. I'm grateful for you and your guest writer's. I'm grateful for everyone commenting whether I agree or not. Finally a place where decency exists.

$5 Subbed after seeing your CNN interview with Brian Stelter. Big believer in what you are doing. Keep up the great work.

new subscriber here. Looking forward to future articles and discussions. Common sense is sorely lacking these days...
Proud to subscribe
Bari Weiss - thank you.
Very interesting discussion. I didn't buy everything he was saying, but there were a few real nuggets of truth.
Site is always high quality product and style, but badly needs the diversification in subject matter and tone these stories offer. Thanks.
