I appreciate the comments as always, ralek! I’m still working on getting the center of my thoughts figured out and I do appreciate you taking the time to discuss them and try to figure them out.
That is to say that this is all an iterative process, something to be figured out gradually. Hopefully your contributions will help as I write my way through figuring stuff out.
The green pill just seems an extension of the blue pill upon first reading. It also does not feel like it solves or interacts with the other two pills to make a more powerful metaphor.
Imo, the powers that be not wanting you to get that green pill kinda fell flat on me.
Well, of course goverments dont want you to think for yourself and be properly responsible, but them actively not wanting you to acquire the power of creation felt wishy washy like they're a lizard group or comic villains or something
I think this ideology could be explored way more meaningfully in a different, more personal analogy. Of course, you're fully free to dismiss my thoughts on the solution and only take away my feelings on what you wrote because there's a good chance my proposed methods might not gel with you.
Now, i loved the pill analogy, it felt like i was getting into something, and then the elevator shaft started turning green
There could be something there, maybe, and the message was laid out clearly by the end which is nice, but still could be touched a tad bit
I think what touched me the most was when you first said creation is all about you and for you. It felt empowering.
Enjoyable read overall. Desirable length for a newsletter but I was left a bit dry.
I hope this comment isn't awful, and good luck with further newsletters Noahie.

Thanks again, ralek. I really appreciate it
