You are now reading my first regular, irregular newsletter. Thank you for being here. In ‘normal times,’ I am fortunate to be able to explore new ideas and perspectives in interaction with people from all over the world. I value these conversations and miss them dearly. This newsletter is an experiment to continue these open-ended exchanges and open them up to more people.Today, three topics, loosely connected: The Last of Us Part 2, blockbusters, and a generous orchestra.
