I just got my physical copy of the inaugural issue and I’m very happy with it! I love the cool-yet-professional design, color schemes, and infographics. I’ve ordered a copy for my parents and a copy for my parents-in-law, with offers to get them subscriptions if they like the first issue, and I’m feeling enthusiastic about this as a way to introduce people to EA-adjacent ideas and worldviews. I personally was nerdsniped into EA, drawn in by the fascinating problems and the efforts to think deeply and clearly about them. That’s the experience I’ve wanted for other people too, but if they weren’t drawn in by GiveWell spreadsheets or some pointers to a sprawling blogosphere, I wasn’t sure what to offer them. I think Asterisk will be a great fit for people like my parents: smart and curious, subscribers to multiple paper newspapers, not super technical or super online. Thanks Asterisk team :)
