THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS

Imagine it's 1986 and this story comes from SoViEt RuSsIa. Derek Lowe (who I hold to be adjacent to a National Treasure) would not be obliged to speculate about motives.

The entire bloviosphere would unanimously collapse into mockery.

The word is "corrupt." It's simple.

Get the basics, then follow your nose to the features you want to try. Before you know it you'll be writing your own stuff and sharing it.

The community is the best around.

The payoff can be enormous. The investment can be illegible on the front end—it depends on the skills and concepts you already have.

Open an Emacs buffer, switch to Org mode, and start typing an outline. The benefit is immediate, provided those paradigms (plain text, outline hierarchy) appeal to you.

There are many features of Org mode that complement each other powerfully but that are district enough that you can climb one learning curve at a time.

I vividly remember the manual, years ago, overwhelming me! But today there are so many good tutorials the barrier to entry is quite low. Best of luck!

Highly recommend: David Wilson's System Crafters channel, Mike Zamansky's channel, Protesilaos Stavrou's channel. There's an amazing community on Mastodon.

The people living on that peninsula right now are stressed out in a way most of us have never experienced.

Both changed everything in an epistemologically qualitative manner. Life before calculus/microwave, and life after calculus/microwave.

How did we warm up leftovers before the microwave?

What did the world look like before I learned calculus?

Could not have said it better myself.

How about if you go to hell?
