So the obvious take here is that this is a long post full of Paths Forward and basically none of those paths forward were taken, either by myself or others.
Two years later, many if not most of those paths do still seem like good ideas for how to proceed, and I continue to owe the world Moloch’s Army in particular. And I still really want to write The Journey of the Sensitive One to see what would happen. And so on. When the whole Covid thing is behind us sufficiently and I have time to breathe I hope to tackle some of this.
But the bottom line for now is that this doesn’t make much sense absent the rest of the sequence, and the parts that stand on their own didn’t truly ‘pay off’ so it probably shouldn’t be included in a collection like this unless one makes the decision to include most/all of the sequence (e.g. maybe you try to skip the Competition posts, and if I do a book version I might change them a lot, but otherwise yeah lot of words here).
