Seems like a perfect time to recommend the Pompidou over the Louvre if you only have a short time visiting Paris. No one has yet heisted their giant balloon animal!

A giant balloon animal from Jeff Koons' 2015 exhibition at La Centre Pompidou. It stands about 10 feet tall, and no one has stolen it.

I did a fermi estimate back then and concluded I was reading too slow and I was going to die long before I read a fraction of the books I wanted to and I have been depressed ever since

I don't read that fast... Like maybe 1 in 100 but not 1 in a 1000 so the log probs was a reflection of other people's lack of dedication more than anything
