Great story of your life. Love to hear about incredible minds like yours. And even better that you appreciate what’s really important and follow your gut.
One line I hope you'll reconsider though: “Help us all reduce global temperatures …” Look toward the sun and the pole shifts and Earth’s weakening magnetic field. These forces of nature and the scientific truths behind them have everything to do with the changes we are experiencing. We humans have much less influence than we imagine. More like: “Help us prepare for the inevitable changes coming our way.”
Enjoy your next adventures. You have much to contribute to this world. Thank you.
Adieux, Alex Washburne, PhD. You will be missed but you will be back, I trust, and without the “and this put a target on my back“ millstone. I am sad but not for long because, I, too, have embraced the “simplify, simplify” call. Your exit simply has hastened that exploration.
You will be missed but your admirers are gladdened and not one bit saddened by your decision.
Alex--I'm sorry to see you leave Substack, especially since your unique voice is such an important one in the Covid debate. On the other hand, I admire your clarity of vision on your own path and I look forward to reading your excellent writing in the future. I do some professional editing and love to talk about writing, so if can do anything to support your writing, let me know. Meanwhile, you've inspired me to follow my own version of "Be Happy. Shop at REI."
Alex, I don’t know if you’re still able to get messages, but a new book by Robert P Dolan PHD and Morteza Mahmoudi PHD called Halls of Shame, protecting yourself and others against academic bullying.
Alex, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your writing. You’re like a da Vinci with both sides of your brain dominate. I am saddened selfishly at your exit but happy for your new adventure. Fighting a corrupt system backed by money and power has no rewards. The frustration could become all consuming. You are a very special person with smarts and integrity and deserve better. You are a young person finding your fit. Wisdom comes at the cost of youth. I will always support you and look forward to reading your book. Good luck and be careful on those mountains!
Thank you for helping me keep sane during the pandemic with your writings and research and curiosity. I’m looking forward to the books. Enjoy the ascents, the trails, the journey. 🙏🏼🌹
You’ll be missed in the sense of the dynamism you bring with your writing, I have always found it informative, educational and uplifting, this piece above truly outstanding and if indicative of the tome to come, it’ll be not only a great read but best seller as well.
Go well, health, safety and always in peace.
The very best to you.
