Well, I've written elsewhere on the social dynamics of the creator economy. Is it meritocratic or less nobly biased? Being successful on Medium, for instance, is largely a matter of when you started writing on the platform. Early adopters have an enormous advantage because the success compounds.

Also, dumber, less intellectual topics and interpretations naturally have broader appeal. So genuine thinkers are at a disadvantage.

In any case, it's hardly a matter just of the content or even the presentation of what you're saying.

Your definition of logic seems a little cherry-picked to make it metaphysical. The old idea of Logos had that ring to it. Logos was the rational organizer of the natural order. But in so far as logic is normative in that it operates according to rules which are supposed to be for the best, logic would seem to be more restrictive, assuming we don't think nature is teleologically directed.

Still, the broader view of logic might be relevant to the kind of pantheism I explore in some of my writings. And we do seem to think in binary terms, so that might be hardwired into us.
