AGENT:

Are you a journalist, Curt?

ME:

Sort of. I write philosophy and such. No not the ridiculous kind. The serious kind…. Or well, as serious as I feel at the moment. It’s political, legal, and economic philosophy. Usually called “Political Economy”.

AGENT:

I’ve always admired the profession, wanted to be one myself. Constantly learning all sorts of things.

ME:

hmmm… Don’t be impressed. Most journalists are indistinguishable from the people who send you junk mail. They just use longer form, and more pages. But it’s the same content and process.
