Just came across your work and find your arguments compelling. Great work of turning over the racist rock that Elon crawled out from. Speaking of ancestral lines, we share a surname. Are you decended from the Lamonts who sailed to PEI from The Isle of Skye during the Highland Clearances? They set up the PEI school system. Sailed on The Mary Kennedy?
Ok, it seems I'm your long-lost obnoxious American cousin. My branch went back to Scotland, then to NY. Are you familiar with our kinswoman and infamous 20th c Scottish playwright, Ena Lamont Stewart? Socialist feminist in kilt and cardigan, bright blue eyes, one deep dimple, scathing wit. I had the good fortune to visit her several times, once over Christmas. She's gone now, but she'd like your work.
Glad to see your work is well received. Modern citizens talk of the separation of church and state without recognizing that most state economists are pushing an extreme religion of their own based on selective reading and historical propaganda. Voices like yours are valuable counterweights to this powerful illusion.
I appreciate the work that goes into your posts. You challenge some elements of my thought, it is the detailed explanation and the references to other thinker that I enjoy. If I compare your column to some of the opinion column here on substack, the thoughts seem more considered and less off the cuff.

Yes! I saw your name and my family had a lot of Catherines, Elizabeths, Johns and Marys.
My grandfather, John Salmon Lamont was born in PEI in 1885.
