From Substackers Pseudonymous by Infovores, Parrhesia, and Resident Contrarian. The subheading is Hacking the Blogosphere with Resident Contrarian and Parrhesia.
Infovores, Parrhesia and Resdient Contrarian are three essayists and Tweeters who probably lean towards a Classical Liberal worldview and who write pseudonymously for a variety of reasons. Certainly the Postmodernist, Woke, CRT, Social Justice wing of academia and the mainstream media are very hostile to the Classical Liberal worldview.
I am familiar with Infovores and Resident Contrarian and enjoy their writing. I don't recognize Parrhesia.
In this piece, Infovores is interviewing Parrhesia and Resident Contrarian. Parrhesia:
I think that people undervalue things that are meaningful and overvalue convenience, comfort, and passive stimulation. I think that excessive internet use is probably making many people unhappy. Websites like Reddit and Twitter expose people to an unhealthy amount of upsetting content. Rejecting traditional lifestyles like getting married and having kids is probably contributing to overall unhappiness. Media is so entertaining that people choose to be less social, often to their own detriment. Financial and career opportunities entice people enough to move away from friends and family, something unusual until recently. We would probably be happier if we spent less time online and more time together with friends and loved ones.
