You know, I thought I've got like a thousand sub stack, you know, things.
I'm reading social media.
I'm reading the old guard stuff.
But my head is exploding.
There is nobody who can actually tell you, very few anyway, that can corral the good stuff for you and tell you this is needed.
And I personally miss it very much.
And I think other people miss it.
They're exhausted, you know.
And unfortunately, what it's leading to is just a lot of people checking out.
So it's a very demoralizing time.
You know, I'm always being asked by sort of young people at, you know, journalism colleges and so on, like, how do I get into journalism?
And I look at them sort of feeling like – often I say, actually, you should go to India because India, in fact, has a very vibrant literary culture.
You know, there's not much literary culture about anymore, you know.
India, for some reason –
There's a lot of sort of interest in intellectual debate.
And, you know, you go out and everybody's talking about articles and pieces and books.
And there seems to be a great deal of energy.
So it's a long way to go, shall we say.
I just can't believe that your advice is go to India.
It's not popular.
