I might be interested. But is want to read a preview of one story first. Is there a place to do that?

not officially, but I'm hoping people can get a sense of if it's worth it from the reading questions & discussion. Question 2 for example works as a standalone question, and so does 4.

I'm taking a bit of inspiration from the youtube channel Esoterica (https://www.youtube.com/@TheEsotericaChannel) who is a professor who recently lost his job, and decided to just teach his class on youtube instead, with patreon support. He references textbooks which I don't have but have found the lectures and discussion very useful anyway.

I'm familiar with that channel, good stuff.

OK, I thought about it, and here's how I would totally buy in-- a reading group (more open then the way you are doing it top down)

if I knew I would meet like-minded people, and we had a whatsapp chat with a set reading schedule, I'd likely buy in. That's worth $25

Can I take you up on the book offer? It's been a while since I've written much but this seems interesting and important.
