Being Ready to Lose Well, Perseverance and How Not to Be LostOn Monday I saw a bunch of people on Bluesky mentioning and praising this essay by Andrea Pitzer.
It’s about the recent podcast discussion between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates.
They’re actually more and less than disagreements.
What she sets out to do is explain why she thinks Klein is “lost” in the present moment (a point Klein actually agrees with) and, secondarily, why Coates, whether you agree with him specifically, is not.
Again, it’s worth reading Pitzer in her own lucid words rather than just my synopsis.
