Just got a paid subscription. Why? Because this Substack helps me navigate the constant bombardment of BS I encounter in my everyday suburban mom social sphere. It’s actually helpful.
I only came across your essays a few months ago and I haven't been very diligent about going back through them. Thanks for this handy list!
Unfortunately a side effect of my lifelong beliefs that status is bullshit* and careers are bullshit is poverty**. Otherwise I would upgraid to paid.
\* Very validating to read that a credentialed social scientist also believes that status is bullshit. Of course reading it also has the effect of immediately making me question my belief - my main principle is "be sceptical, especially of things you want to believe".
\** Best method of reducing your carbon emissions, by the way. Somehow climate bullshitters still seem to be jumping on planes all the time.
I don't know how many people have responded, but I'm surprised to see humor is last of the 4 topics David proposed writing about. I considered choosing it but went with (currently in first place) mental disorders instead.
Glad to have found your Substack. Keep up the great work. Going to check out the “upgrade to paid” link. Glad to see your work in my inbox every month or so.

Means a lot. Thank you. 🙏
Just got a $100 paid subscription. I'm pumped for the next year of bullshit!
Sincere thanks. 🙏

Everything is BS is by far my favourite Substack and I'll definitely upgrade. Also enjoying your podcast.

If I don’t do a post on humor I’ll link to my academic paper on it (still in progress), or to the podcast episode where Dave and I talk about it.
Humour being one of the refuges from neuroticism maybe it will make it into a post about mental disorders 🙃

Evo psych is interesting.
