First, thank you so much for this wonderfully complete and obviously not AI-written response.
You asked for links and mentioned pinning. I only ever pin two stories at a time and they are usually relatively ancient. Those that are pinned now are two I would link for you now. If I had the ability to hierarchy the pins outside of time, Dizain of Suicide would be at the top--very personal and important to me. The other one presently pinned at the top I cherish as an example of laymen's, or as Douglas Giles, PhD would say, philosophy written from outside of the ivory tower. As are these: https://marcus17043.medium.com/i-meet-kierkegaard-nietzsche-ortega-and-archangels-in-a-bar-b56233dae748 and https://thetaoist.online/hermann-hesse-alan-arkin-and-marcus-meet-in-a-bar-to-discuss-philosophy-with-marcus-7582ce0bad14
"We do know much more than we can articulate in language." These are on point there and are the first that come to mind: https://medium.com/illumination-curated/lets-talk-about-knowing-versus-believing-21175cf0caee and https://marcus17043.medium.com/of-feelings-and-knowledge-580fed0d092a
"Organized religion makes me nervous." Here are a few links to essays of mine. This is my only ever boosted piece I wrote last month. It draws on other essays I may or may not decide to link to you here. https://medium.com/illumination-curated/lets-talk-about-atheists-and-bible-beating-believers-in-the-god-of-abraham-fe139f4833f3 and https://medium.com/illumination-curated/my-understanding-of-god-life-death-and-the-between-lives-we-experience-with-our-many-soulmates-af641080747f and https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/how-do-you-define-god-9898492eae9 and https://medium.com/illumination/why-is-it-so-easy-for-people-to-believe-the-most-obvious-lies-yet-require-proof-of-god-339a2a07cc4f
I love that you picked up on the nonconforming qualification of Sofia's affirmation. Ahh, that brings me to another of my posts I think you'll appreciate: https://marcus17043.medium.com/nonconformists-are-not-rebels-fdacdb633a58
Please drop me links of your work here, there and everywhere (yes I love The Beatles) from either of your profiles
