Changes at the Circus

For the Better

At its core, Notes From the Circus is about sharing ideas, engaging in deep philosophical exploration, and making meaning in a world that often seeks to strip it away. From the very beginning, I made a commitment: everything I write will remain free to all. That promise hasn’t changed. But to support the continued growth of this project, I’m introducing a structure that gives my subscribers a meaningful way to participate—without creating a paywall that locks people out.

1. Grand Praxis Essays – Early Access for Paid Subscribers

Some of my writing demands more time, effort, and refinement—pieces that bring together my most ambitious philosophical work. These essays, which I call the Grand Praxis Series, represent the full application of my approach to philosophy. Rather than being tied to news cycles or daily reflections, they stand as deeper, more structured arguments—pieces meant to last.

Starting now, paid subscribers will receive early access to Grand Praxis essays as soon as they are published. But these are not exclusive—just temporarily exclusive. Every Grand Praxis essay will unlock for free subscribers within a few days. This ensures that my work remains accessible while also giving those who support Notes From the Circus a chance to be part of the conversation early.

The first of this series, A Treatise on Purpose, is available to all paid subscribers now.

If you want early access, consider upgrading to a paid subscription today!

2. News-Bound Content & Daily Notes – Still Free, Always

The daily reflections, news-bound essays, and shorter observations that make Notes From the Circus what it is will continue to be immediately available to everyone. These are the pieces that capture the moment, engage with unfolding events, and provide the connective tissue between my larger arguments. There’s no change here—if you’re a free subscriber, you’ll still receive all of this as before.

3. Live Discussions for Patriot-Tier Subscribers

For those who subscribe at the Patriot-tier, I’m adding a new benefit: the opportunity to have live conversations with me. Whether it’s about a Grand Praxis essay, a daily note, or just a broader philosophical question that’s been on your mind, I’ll be available for video discussions with subscribers at this level. If you’re a Patriot-tier subscriber, just DM me, and we’ll set something up.

This approach ensures that I can keep expanding Notes From the Circus while staying true to my core commitment: meaning should be shared. I hope this strikes the right balance between sustainability and accessibility, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

This is, after all, a philosophy blog.
