Hacker News Reader

I have long gotten used to the idea that I cannot remotely read all my books in my years remaining. It bothers me only a little. When I feel like reading, I have a curated collection to choose from. A large fraction of it is deep dive material, so went I want more than the shallow tripe on the internet, it's available.

I realized that I'd finally accepted my habit of reading Ken Wilbur and others sideways an odd paragraph at a time when I saw your comment here. Thank you for the idea that my nonlinearity is ok with a tip of the hat to leo buscaglia.

I once had a debate with a friend who maintained that the nukes dropped on Japan did not cause the Japanese to surrender, that the declaration of war by the Soviet Union did.

I remembered I had two history books covering the Japanese surrender in detail, with proper cites and everything, which thoroughly supported the former.

Curation is the key. I also curate my media (movies and music albums) library. And it's more enjoyable to put on an album you like and purposely listen instead of launching a random playlist. Or browse Netflix.
