Baird. Thank You. This is a remarkable essay full of wisdom. It needs a feature photo added in the substack publishing settings to make it show up more when sharing it in Notes. It deserves a wide audience.

Wonderful article. I was particularly impressed by the idea of comparing down. Perhaps it is a more positive angle of schadenfreude!

Thanks for sticking with such a long meandering and dense essay Michelle!

Interesting thought about schadenfreude. Yes, I can see a connection with that. Thanks for that insight!
