Sample Letter
Subject: On Digital Stoicism and the Art of Attention
Dear Fellow Thinker,
I've been thinking about Marcus Aurelius lately—specifically, what the emperor-philosopher might make of our notification-saturated world. His Meditations are, at their core, exercises in attention: how to focus on what matters, how to distinguish between what's up to us and what isn't.
This week's essay explores how ancient Stoic practices might help us reclaim our attention in an age of infinite scroll. It's not about digital minimalism—it's about something deeper: developing what I call "philosophical resistance" to the attention economy.
Also reading: Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, which beautifully captures the absurdity of trying to optimize our way out of finitude.
Until next time,
Your thinking companion
Questions & Answers
How often will I receive letters?
Typically 1-2 times per month, whenever there's something worth sharing. Quality over frequency.
What makes these different from regular newsletters?
They're written like letters to a thoughtful friend—personal, conversational, and focused on ideas rather than news or promotion. Think of them as extended marginalia on the essays.
Can I unsubscribe anytime?
Absolutely. Every letter includes an unsubscribe link, and there's no pressure to stay subscribed.
