You can confess to it

I think you're hitting the mark that there is a desire for romantic ideals, but not many effective avenues of pursuit for it. I think the icky stuff we are all afraid of is what tech bros and capitalists want us to fear, and we have to overcome that with real emotive art and culture if we are going to retain any semblance of freedom from the programming AI is and will be using to train us to believe whatever is convenient for those in power. My stack here is my own offering for more emotive art, since my essays are written as unsent letters/emails, which as a form encourage confession of sentiments that I also feel I am unable to share, which is the very condition I think plagues as all. Hope you can check my stuff out (here's my icky gesture of holding out my desire for sharing my work). I'm definitely subscribing to your newsletter. Thanks for this essay.

The section dividers are REALLY painful on the autoreader.

“Painful” isn’t nice? Thought I was being nice. No shade was ever intended.
