That's a lot of love for Ramiro. Thank you for the introduction and being the polar opposite of Doctorow's enshittificiation - hard to find when this platform is arcing. Maybe the trick is to stick with writers who have less than 70 subs.
Thanks to @The New Unhinged , I’m at 92 subscribers already! Even though I’m above 70 now, feel free to stop by at Writer By technicality, we’d love to see you there.
I’ve read everything you’ve published here on Substack. I’m not going to say I agree with everything you've written, but your writing, especially style-wise and in your analogies, is nothing short of fucking brilliant!
Thank you for roasting Ramiro and for articulating what many of us admire in his writing: the humor, the smart yet often overlooked connections, and—if I may add—the gentle, moving nostalgia in some of his pieces. He’s a must-read for those of us tired of dense, opinion-heavy content; someone who invites us to reflect on our own lives and dares to connect our small, personal universe to wider quotidian phenomena.
Oh I absolutely love this ♥️ you basically just wrote the liner notes for his entire brain. The micro → macro move is exactly why he hits differently. ♥️
👍 Pressed for time at the moment, but your opening sentences reminded me of a TV program — waaay back, probably well before you were born, you probably still being something of a sweet young thing … 😉🙂 — titled “Connections” with James Burke:
Seem to remember thinking that some of the connections were a bit “forced”, but, still, some plausible evolutionary progressions reaching into quite ancient history.
Oh I love that reference, Connections is basically the proto–micro→macro show LOL ♥️ tiny inventions accidentally tipping over entire civilizations is very Ramiro ♥️
🙂 Kind of like fitting the pieces of a puzzle together — often difficult to see that all of the Tabs A, B, C … M fit neatly into all the Slots N, O. P, Q … Z. 😉🙂
you have no idea, lol.
Damn. I’m in!

Thank you so much! I had to hold a couple tears in after reading that one.
Brilliant! i could close my eyes and see the man himself
Success! That means the writing did its job. ♥️
That image will haunt you forever.
As a close friend and colleague of ramiro I feel like you get it. Loved this! Look forward reading more of your stack!
That means a lot, thank youuu ♥️ Probably the best all around compliment I could get from this.
Thanks! Subscribe, The New Unhinged is one of those worth your time.

I see your point. There's probably more than a few forced connections in the Writer by Technicality posts. 😅
I hope you get a chance to give the rest of the post a read!

But at least (will) have it bookmarked. 🙂
Thanks!
