I've been following the newsletter since pretty close to the beginning, and have been loving IAPCWE and PDCP for quite awhile. I am always entertained, educated, challenged, and even illuminated by your writing, so my number 1 suggestion would be to stick with whatever sort of workflow/schedule enables you to stay healthy and motivated while still writing.
I, as an easily distracted office drone, greatly appreciate the daily epistles, but I can also see how that might be unsustainable over the long term. A couple of polished posts a week would certainly still provide lots of useful wisdom and inspiration without burning you out.
As far as subject matter: I, personally, like a deep dive/investigation. I trust your intellectual integrity and sensibility, so I'm inclined to follow you down the historical rabbit hole on all sorts of weird issues. And there's already so much wide-ranging punditry and opining going on these days, so I think a narrower focus actually helps you stand out from the crowd of people who are just venting their spleens online.
But, if you do reduce your posting to 2-3 emails a week, you could potentially split those days up into differently topics? I.e.: McKenna Mondays, UFO Wednesdays, Friday Open Thread, and Gnostic Sundays (to choose some topics at random). As a deep dive wraps up, you replace it: (UFOs are over, now let's do McLuhan on Wednesdays. Or Cryptozoology. Or 6th Wave Psychedelic Posadism.)
Regardless, I really appreciate seeing your public writing and persona grow and evolve. It's a helluva a ride, and I'm looking forward to sticking with it for awhile.
PS: Thanks for the reminder about subscriptions. I've been meaning to do that for awhile, and somehow it always slipped my mind. Correcting that error now.
