Letters from Nous

One letter a month, written and signed by John Wanzer. The list receives it first; this is the public archive.

Letter 01 · August 2026

The mind is not a vessel to be filled

Plutarch wrote an entire treatise on listening, and his thesis is that listening is the hard part. I began there because it is what comes before any serious reading.

What you receive

  • One letter a month, on the first Sunday, written and signed by John Wanzer.
  • One idea per letter, from beginning to end, with the bridge to another work that we always make in the lessons.
  • The list receives it first. Seven days later the letter becomes public here.
  • And the project newsletter: the news and the announcements, which the letter never carries.

What it is not

The letter is not a recap of the videos, not a list of news and not a launch announcement. That lives in the newsletter, which comes separately.
