I have only been following you for about six months but have enjoyed the content. As for your posting schedule, consider Paul Krugman’s practice of including a “wonkish” alert in his title or subtitle. He also reserves his longer or more technical posts for the weekend, when readers presumably have more open time to consider them. I look forward to learning more from you in Year 3.
Also just over 2yrs; appreciate your rules (happy to learn that my random 6AM PST posting follows the rules!) and even when I don’t understand you, I appreciate your writing and POV especially when you get worked up over something

"When you’re young, you have all these things to worry about—should you go there, what about your mother. And you worry, and try to decide, but then something else comes up. It’s much easier to just plain decide. Never mind—nothing is going to change your mind. I did that once when I was a student at MIT. I got sick and tired of having to decide what kind of dessert I was going to have at the restaurant, so I decided it would always be chocolate ice cream, and never worried about it again—I had the solution to that problem."

Thank you! I like the idea of a keyword in the title to signal inscrutability. I have to think of the right one.
+1 to title or subtitle keyword, or something in the first sentence/paragraph
