Sam Alaimo is a former US Navy SEAL with a Masters from Columbia University and a passion for ideas. He enlisted with the dream of becoming a SEAL when he was nineteen, serving multiple combat tours to Afghanistan as a JTAC, Sniper, and Team Leader.
His writing can be found on his Substack What then? where he explores how to recreate the mortal significance, usefulness, and meaning of the primeval world, but within the disorienting freedom of civilization.
