well, hello Jeremy. Nice to see a familiar name. I have been wanting to read Master & Commander for years, but just haven't picked it up. I am a little worried about then needing to read all 20 of them because that's how I tend to roll. O'Brien died 25 years ago, so maybe I can find a BR/podcast excuse to dive in.
1. Wilder's choice is exactly why that film always had an underbelly of watching something scary for me. I watched it a lot as a kid and yet it was never a "comfort film".
2. the two opposite ways both working out is a hell of a spotlight on the way our society has turned so black and white in everything. I desperately hope we can go back to people realizing one thing can't apply to all and you have to actually think and process each situation to find the best way.
I love this, thanks for sharing Jeff. Have you read the Aubrey/Maturin books? The first few are sitting on my shelf and I've not dove in yet.

Nice. I don’t know if I want you to say it is amazing or skippable.

Yea, we are not very good at "sometimes X. but also sometimes Y."
