SANJAY SAYS
What Are Your Heretical Beliefs?
Anti-vaxxers aren’t always idiots and your cat isn’t your friend
I lost a few subscribers this week because of my post on the pros of drug use. I said people should educate themselves, and that people should talk about their positive drug experiences, legal or otherwise. Hardly controversial, and yet controversial.
I knew I would lose subscribers, but in the scheme of things it was only a few drops from my bucket. That speaks well of readers here on Medium.
The people who left weren’t doing me any favours by being subscribers anyway, because they weren’t going to do the one thing I ask of my readers. Yes dear reader, you didn’t think this was about you did you? No, it’s all about me, and what you can do for me.
Which is what precisely?
James Bellerjeau sent me a note after my article went live, saying that I had raised his curiosity and he would be digging deeper into the issues around the War on Drugs. In doing so, James perfectly demonstrated what I’m looking for in my readers and in my friends.
He is willing to think.
Not cling blindly to beliefs. Not listen to authority without questioning. But to actually think.
