******************************************************************************
Newsletter --- the Jonah Mailing List
******************************************************************************

Subscribing here is one way to become a **Sojourner**: someone who travels
with this work along the narrow path --- following the deep-water questions of
how to avert accidental nuclear winter --- whether or not you ever
:doc:`buy in </buy-in/index>` financially. Walking along costs nothing.

One honest caution up front: for now this is one person writing when there is
something worth saying. There is no staff, no budget, and no marketing team. If
the work gets funded, one of the first hires will be someone who can help communicate far
better. Until then, updates will be rare, brief, and honest --- which beats
polished and frequent.

Three ways to take part
============================

Subscribing is the **Sojourner** lane --- traveling with the work. 
Actually joining the 2nd Exodus, that big Walk-About at the end of time to find
out who we humans really are, that is the biggest thing you can do.
It doesn't matter whether you're subscribed to some mailing list. 
This Jonah-mailing list is merely one of countless offers for serious Sojourners.
So, you're invited to follow along here as well. 

If you suffer from a broken email inbox inundated with stuff you can't process
(like I do), then you may wish to support that part of ResearchCity, which 
aims to find a sustainable solution to the "email problem", which is merely 
a microcosm of the BABL confusion "Datageddon" that is also destroying the world 
elsewhere. 

To this end you can become more active by joining any one of these roles:

- **Backer.** The voluntary ~$8-per-year :doc:`Buy-In </buy-in/index>`
  sustains the review --- capped against influence-shopping, with half given
  away to causes in urgent need. If ~$8 is nothing to you and you can do more,
  the capped All-Stadia route is explained in the :ref:`Buy-In page's cap
  section <buy-in-8-dollar-ask>`.

- **Audit it.** :doc:`Audit the math </action/audit-the-math/index>` --- a well-grounded true
  refutation is more useful to this work than a polite agreement.
  
- **Tell one person** who might care. That is often worth more than the money.

Not sure where to start? The :doc:`Action page </action/index>` collects ideas
for what you can do --- including :doc:`ways that need no money
</action/buy-in-without-money/index>`.

With sufficient :doc:`buy in </buy-in/index>`  the newsletter becomes a proper communication channel; without it, it stays one person typing when he can.
