Interlude
Since February 2021, I have been posting weekly entries on nuclear weapon matters—history and technology, and “secrets”—in You Might Want to Know on Substack. To see other entries, see the You Might Want to Know Archive.
I don't know whether war is an interlude during peace, or peace an interlude during war. George Clemenceau
Since February 2021, I have been posting weekly here on Substack entries on nuclear weapon matters—history, technology, “secrets,” plans and policy— under the general heading You Might Want to Know.
Lately, we’ve been heading for the barn, so to speak, with entries dealing with the remarkable ideas of the contemporary scholar, scientist, and philosopher Iain McGilchrist. The promise offered is that these ideas might help us eliminate nuclear weapons, and perhaps accomplish other good things.
Circumstances—we all know about those—are going to require me to interrupt my publication here, probably for a few weeks.
Here’s an idea. Rather than just staring into space during the time you would have spent reading the week’s entry, you might dip into the You Might Want to Know Archive, find something of possible interest, and read that instead.
All entries in You Might Want to Know have been written so as to avoid merely topical interest. If I’ve succeeded in that, and I think I have, you will not find entries that fall into the category of “yesterday’s news.”
The entries are listed in the Archive by title with the most recent first. It might be fun to scroll all the way to the bottom to see how this whole thing got started.
With best wishes,
John Warnock
