Book recommendations here and on twitter have been great (perhaps some sort of list on Amazon where you get a commission) and I've probably purchased 20 or more books this year based on this newsletter. The ad-tech stuff is also enough food for thought for several banquets. I hadn't noticed the word orthopraxic before, but it's counterpoint with orthodoxy is a useful cognitive tool for many things.
After a year, you've produced a prolific amount of work. My favorite of your interviews were Niall Fergusson, which betrays my protestant bias, and Ross Douthat. My favorite article of all was about the Google and Apple shift to on device data usage. Before reading it, I was messing around with training some models to scrape property info from county records, and it gave me some serious insight into where I might go for a career. Also finished Chaos Monkeys. Learned some shizz. I treated it as a more saucy "The Phoenix Project" that tackled those sticky situations that arise in startups and ad tech. I was a little underwhelmed because I expected more decadence than I got. Louis CK did worse, and he's back on tour now.
I can say without flattery I think there's some incredibly intriguing content on the pull request, and the articles and interviews are high-quality. Some stuff, like an article on Apple's filtering using hashes, is more of a best in its own world topic. awesome stuff and I hope you keep writing.

You’re a good writer. I have enjoyed reading this year.
Looking forward to your 2022 musings, and all the new vocabulary words I will learn!
