I’ll look up that Thurber. I am making myself learn some things but I don’t have any so-called product at the end, which is fine but still a bit anomalous for me.

I think the most interesting goal is often that of developing a deep intellectual sympathy with someone who has seen very far into the future, and taken the trouble to make his or her vision intelligible and influential. How do these mystic seers do it?
