Hi Matt... I stumbled into your substack, probably looking for another Matt. I stuck around cause I saw you write on an EGLE meeting and liked your speech... and then I came across this long gem.

To be honest, i cannot manage to read this whole document in one sitting. I managed about a quarter and will get back to it this weekend.

However, I want to tell you to keep it up. You are a great researcher, and have an incredible command of many things. I particularly appreciate your direct language which is in sharp contrast to fluff all around us.

Also the subject matter is really relevant to the time we live in, where more and more of us will follow the coal miners or are already well versed in the knowledge of an addiction.

PS (I live in michigan and my father in law was probably one of the older dudes you mentioned at egle, though I am much more aligned with your perspective).

I receive very little feedback so your means more to me that you realize. When I speak into the void I imagine the worst. I hope you benefit from my research, I think it is more than valid and actionable. Thank you and I encourage you to speak your mind on any of my future posts.
