Hi,

Welcome to Less Foolish.

I write in the tradition of practical philosophy, meaning I take care that my reasoning be internally consistent, though the starting point is the messiness of my everyday life — its confusions, intensities, and the moments that refuse to be cleanly understood.

The idea: each bothersome, perplexing moment is an opportunity to find my way, and perhaps the way.

I’m an Orthodox Christian, occasionally “Stoic,” and politically drawn to the anarch in the Jüngerian sense: the sensibility that shapes this Substack.

Peter
