Took one after your comment for 1.4 hours. It was nice!

During a summer intensive I studied all morning then napped all afternoon then worked out. That was the life.

Honestly I was already tired. This just makes me tired, plus more

That would be a fun thread. What’s the most unnecessary self hosted thing you’ve seen someone host or host

Another good example is reading book reviews then reading the actual monograph. Sometimes there’s just nothing there

I guess the best one for me may be elite university students are “just smarter” than others until I have to read their term papers.

For some reason it’s always the non-native English speakers who write well.

Not saying this is right but I guarantee the US does this as well. It is scary!

I didn’t get the other thing he is arguing but this paragraph is a banger:

Does it follow that I drive back every authority? The thought would never occur to me. When it is a question of boots, I refer the matter to the authority of the cobbler; when it is a question of houses, canals, or railroads, I consult that of the architect or engineer. For each special area of knowledge I speak to the appropriate expert. But I allow neither the cobbler nor the architect nor the scientist to impose upon me. I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and verification. I do not content myself with consulting a single specific authority, but consult several. I compare their opinions and choose that which seems to me most accurate. But I recognize no infallible authority, even in quite exceptional questions; consequently, whatever respect I may have for the honesty and the sincerity of such or such an individual, I have absolute faith in no one. Such a faith would be fatal to my reason, to my liberty, and even to the success of my undertakings; it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave and an instrument of the will and interests of another.
