This is Part 2 of my conversation with Addison Reeves from Modern Heretic.  In Part 1 we talked specifically about the vaccine mandates in NYC. In part 2 that conversation is continued, but we also talk about modern life in general, what we define as success, what we consider a meaningful life, and what drives us.

In the summer of 2021, I had a second conversation with Simon Elmer from Architects for Social Housing. Our first conversation was on biosecurity, crisis, and revolution. Here we talked about the need to fight for a world that is free, that is meaningful and the dangers of living in the digital spectacle. Many thanks to all of you for being there, writing, sharing, listening, during another year of the institutionalizing of a terrible new normal.

Recently, Cayley has been written several powerful works on the Pandemic, including the Prognosis, which was published in Literary Review Canada.
