I'm all for independent thinking. Excited for the Curious Contrarian!

And Arman, I WILL hold you to your standards. If I see you dipping, I'm going to call you out XD

But no pressure. Good luck and Godspeed!

Thank you Ishan. I really do mean it when I say that. I need to be held accountable. But just know that I reserve the right to contradict myself haha!

"I have an embarrassing story and an announcement that will cause many of you to unsubscribe. But that’s a risk I’m willing to take."

I admire your willingness to take the risk for something that you feel is much more suited for you. I suppose that willingness is rare nowadays because of the idea to fit in to gain popularity on something the world seems to prefer more than they prefer it themselves.

About your behaviour towards other's views and your own, I highly relate to that. I always loved questioning deep things that most people wouldn't devote their time to just to answer the question. I'm always attracted to other people who behave just like me, and just like you. So, I'm very grateful to have (specifically 2) people in my life who share that kind of mind with me. Seeing this post, I feel the ardent excitement to expect weekly thoughts from you.

None of us like change but often its exactly what the doctor prescribes. The Ravenous Raven was my runner up choice for the new name so im glad i didnt go with that.

I like the new title -- it also took me a while to find the right name for my Substack.

Thank you Robert. I had no idea how hard it could be to come up with a clever name. I like yours too - Earthly Delights! Also, congrats on 100 subscribers.
