John:

I just read your article 4 (of your list to me) Again, another brilliant metaphor for the "cuckoo."

You have put your hypothesis together very well, Yet there is very little traction for that hypothesis on Medium.

"Politically Speaking" is my favored pub on Medium. Yet I have missed your work until now.

There is a psychology behind Medium contributors. They much more want to be read than to read. We are more looking for exposure for our own ideas rather than enlightenment.

I too am guilty of this bias. The day only has 24 hours. And too many articles here are mostly rehashing of what others have already said. They are not worth the time to read--even if they are well written. So cutting back reading and responding is a natural consequence.

You are unique. I wish I had some ideas on how to promote your work. But I don't.
