Well this is weird. It says my intro post was here, but it’s not here!
Anyways, my name is Maanas Tripathi, I’ve followed Mr. Greer for about 4 years now. I’m a 2nd-gen Indian immigrant to America, I grew up in Portland, but since leaving high school, have moved every few years like most Millennials haha. I studied medicine at the University of Miami, did residency in Internal Medicine in Texas, and am now a hospitalist (the primary physician overseeing a case in the inpatient setting) in South Carolina.
In medicine we have a saying: people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. In a roundabout way, this sums up why I’m a fan of Mr. Greer. There are many learned and intelligent men in this world. But few of them are willing to engage with the public on its own terms like Mr. Greer is. His essay “Welcome to the Decade of Concern” is emblematic of this: few people would use a metaphor like “tech tree” to get their point across!
Politically, most people would consider me broadly right of center. That said, as the Coronavirus pandemic went on, I became increasingly disillusioned with politics, and now have disaffiliated from the Right.
