Post it Notes Episode #4
Featuring Christopher Cook of THE FREEDOM SCALE
Hey friends!
It’s that time again.
The next episode of the podcast is here for your viewing/listening pleasure.
This week, I’m so happy to share with you my conversation with one of the very first people I met on Substack, Christopher Cook.
In fact, I found the Freedom Scale before I had even created Post Post Modern.
I don’t remember exactly which post of his I read, but it most likely was a well-thought out piece about anarchy which would draw my attention, as it’s kind of my thing.
I commented. He wrote back. I commented, he wrote back.
It continued back and forth like that until, before I knew it, we had woven a bit of a web and made a connection- and now here we are sharing our first conversation with you. He is refreshingly open-minded and optimistic.
Please relax and enjoy as we discuss details about his Stack, his book and his writing, and his ever-evolving ideas on what freedom is and how to achieve it.
After I left the left, I traveled to some strange places during a short deconstructive phase. Then, while writing my book The Freedom Scale, I took a deep dive into the classical-liberal principles undergirding the ideology of the right. This undertaking wrought a profound change in me. Ultimately, through reasoning and research, I realized that all governments are a moral problem. I know “anarchism” is a scary word, but if you stick around, I believe I can convince you to consider some new ideas.

I love this idea that you’ve been birthing so beautifully. Such a treat to get to know the personalities behind the writing. May both you and Christopher continue to grow and expand your reach - on this platform and beyond!!! 🤗💙💫
Aw, you are so sweet, Christopher! I love your face. I really enjoyed this interview. This is so much fun. I enjoyed hearing about your Substack journey and your hopes and dreams for the near future. I would never doubt you if you wanted to share any story from your life. I can see that you really are a genuine person. You are clearly dedicated and you think deeply about things. The light of reason and kindness and genuine interest shines out from your eyes. You two did a great job on this interview! You guys are so cute. I feel like I am living in an alternate reality here on Substack. I really appreciate all of you here. Hopefully our experiences here with each other can begin to spill out into the world and we can have regular conversations with people on the ground this way. I want this for all people! I am grateful to you for doing these ,Jacqueline. This is such a gift. Thanks, Christopher, for sharing with us :) The people here are becoming more and more important to me with each interview and each interaction. I really value you both tremendously. I am grateful that there are loving and caring people in the world who are willing to do the work, whatever it is. You both give me hope.
