>>This is the background to our new and current tagline 'Making glulam of the tree of knowledge', showing off the fact that we use old knowledge to produce new ideas. Tove keeps complaining that ordinary people do not know what glulam is.
Glulam is becoming more prominent and important because of its role in panelized, modular timber construction, https://www.niskanencenter.org/mass-timber-unlocking-the-potential-of-sustainable-building/. "These factors substantially increase the speed at which a building is constructed, with studies finding mass timber is over 25% faster than traditional methods." Faster means cheaper and high housing costs are strangling many economies and retarding family formation in the process.
I am one of your recent subscribers. I have found your earnestness for truth (especially in the social realms and human behavior) regardless of cultural expectations very refreshing. Also, most present critical thinkers come from dissident circles that engage in profanity or crass example, so I find that I can share your pieces more freely with friends. Thanks for your engaging articles, which I am presently enjoying!
I am letting it be known that I was one of the 100 pre-Rob subscribers and a frequent commenter.
And yes, I subbed because I liked the articles on evolutionary psychology, which Tove writes about. I am assuming that is the case for most of your subscribers.
I'm impressed with the work of both of you and trust it can become a source of income.
I find Tove's ideas interesting and I see I commented to Tove K in another blog 7 months ago.
By the way, in NZ glulam posts are common enough to be stocked at retail hardware outlets. Useful stable product.
Happy birthday Wood from Eden!
Your blog is wonderful. Happy birthday!

Thank you for the encouraging words. Profanity is always more difficult in a foreign language so I guess we have an unexpected advantage there.

Just rub it in, thank you very much.
But, yes, Substack's statistics are not excellent in this area but a fair estimation is that 80-90% of all subscribers are here due to Tove's writing.
Is it actually legal to be that funny on the internet?
Great to read about the take-off after the Becky-post. Well deserved !
Thank you! We will try to keep it up.
