Thank you for this particularly brilliant essay. I call it 'hope-ian' not dystopian and it gives me courage just reading it. This is the great thing about discovering great thinkers and writers on Substack. Thank you.
If Jesse Hirsch were a ball player, he’d be Hank Aaron. Line drive triples off the wall, goes deep regularly, is productive (RBIs) hits for average (that’s a good thing) and an all-round tough out with a great attitude. ‘Hammering Hank’. The thought just entered my head.
Much appreciated. Though if I'm honest, my model is good ole Charlie Hustle. All time hit leader and should be in Cooperstown. While I don't gamble, if I were, I'd want to bet on myself. 😎
I thought about Rose first but you have a consistent long ball and he didn’t. He bulldozed and well, hustled but you often go deep.
I agree he should be in Canton. It is outrageous that he is not. One of the most feared teams in the history of baseball, ‘The Big Red Machine’ and he was the catalyst.
This is the best sentence I've ever read from you: "You stopped trying to win arguments and started building trust." that's really all it takes to create harmony.

I love these creative pieces!

Jesse, if you haven't yet encountered the work of Patti Digh, well...I think the two of you should know about each other.

Very nice
To hold contradictions with care…beautiful.
