I’m not sure what’s happening to Common Sense anymore. Perhaps it’s the name change, who knows. But lately, while a lot of posts appear, they are irrelevant and bizarre.
I guess somewhere people have heard of this Andrew Tate guy, but what is his importance? Nada, zip, nothing. Amazing someone can write a whole essay on irrelevance.

I’m not sure this is the work Bari set out to do. If it is, it’s the work of the work salad Kamala spews. But it sure isn’t work that I’m interested in.
Being the "most googled person in 2022" confers its own importance (for better or worse) and implies many many people have heard of him and, while you may have never heard of him, he did amass a staggering amount of influence amongst a certain demographic (mine -- 20-30s males) in 2022. And I can't get the guy out of my YouTube algorithm to save my life!
I enjoyed this essay because it discussed (albeit briefly) the underrated and underacknowledged "religious impulse" which appears to be hardwired into humans just like hunger, sex, etc. and is manifesting itself in the broader culture and institutions of the US at a level not seen in any of our lifetimes.
While I agree Common Sense was better, I also understand the impulse for BW+ to grow TFP which is sad to me but ultimately necessary.
That being said, TGIF is still my favorite email to get every week!
We are her transitional subscribers. We aren't who she wants to reach but stepping stones paying her bills at the moment. She didn't see a path to where she wants to be at WSJ or NYT because of the people obstacles in the way. So she's trying to grow her own TFP. But I he goal is the same. That's the conclusion I've come to.
Well said and Bari needs to tighten up what is posted. I didn’t subscribe to get this crap. Get back to basics or I will not renew. I can get this at CNN or the View.

I’m not sure this type of essay grows the site.
And this guy discussed is as relevant as Santos which the media is so keen on pontificating unrelentingly. Neither adds value.
Same here on TGIF. Good comment for the rest.
The comments are so much better than the article. Scroll up for a pretty civilized discussion about faith, dogma, and spirituality.
I though about unsubscribing because the content is really lazy lately but comments keep me going.

Kinda harsh.
Really? Why?
Nobody bats 1.000

Exactly, and I don’t watch those two.
There are so many issues facing America or even the world, and we get some guy 99% have never heard of?
