Mad scientist, writer & occasional sorceress. She/fey. Cerements Collective member (cerements.com).

A world of disorderly notions, picked out of my books, crowded into my imagination; and now my head was full of nothing but enchantments.
For approximately three hours in the morning of the 23rd July, 1886, every whale on the planet was singing simultaneously.

That was the zenith of history, theirs and ours; it's all been downhill from there.

Depth of discipline is a core part of good scholarship and a literal job requirement for professional scholars. If you don't have time to read extensively in your field, you don't have time to be in that field.

That is what makes it your 'area of study' -- being the area that you, y'know, *study*.

Philosophy Tube proposed the term "large-scale computing," which I like because not only is it more precise, you can tell a lot about how someone thinks about a problem by whether they think large-scale computing is an appropriate solution.

Weather prediction models? Sure. Art? Companionship? No.
