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.

Restacked with this:

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 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!

Your Substack summary on the evidence of lab origin help advance general awareness quite a bit, I think. Congratulations on your new position.

Hang in there, little bro. We have yet to hoist a glass together.

Just starting to fry some very big fish. To keep us from frying. I'll be looking for you. And you can also be looking for me. In the dumpster, behind your local convenience store.

Congratulations? We will miss you. Who will guide us through the moronic convergence that will occur in November?

All the best in your next chapter, where I'm sure you'll continue to offer the tremendous benefit that I've seen from you these last few years. If you're ever in Vancouver Canada chasing mountains I'd love to buy you a coffee. And if you haven't read it yet, I think you'll find this a very useful article: https://theupheaval.substack.com/p/the-china-convergence

Cheers!

Thanks for your note, escaping the covid vortex sounds right— wild types are always heartiest.

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.
