Posts on the… —gap
In migrating these substack posts i am re-writing and reworking, and updating them a little.
I can also create header pages to organise them into table-of-contents-like introductions. Here is one on the… —gap.

I look at this long list of posts on "the… —gap" and have a feeling that there's something here, but when I start reading, I immediately feel as though I'm wading through a fog.
I'll grant that some successful bloggers can write a lot of text without much care for whether their readers can really understand them. Mencius Moldbug of Unqualified Reservations comes to mind. Moldbug started off with an intelligible political platform that appealed to a coterie of readers, and *then* over time lapsed into writing stream-of-consciousness. They already had a string of followers who got the gist, and were willing to nod along with increasingly indecipherable rambling.
With your own writings I have become convinced that there's something there, some insights which have been synthesized from A) broad familiarity with academic publications, and B) a thoughtful life lived in a strange and faraway land that most English-speakers haven't even heard of. But my foothold into these insights was a provocative post on getting rid of the Catholic Church that doesn't lead to more writings about Catholicism. There was nothing to segue into the rest of your writing, so after more than a year, I still don't really have a foothold into this set of insights. What is "the... --gap?" I just have no idea.
Rather than a collection of links to a series of posts, what I'd really love to see is one, single, short, carefully edited post where you spell out the general outline of "worlding," or "the... --gap," or "why we should" in a way that someone who doesn't know you feel confident that they know what you are trying to write about.
