      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Thales of Florida

      I've felt this way about many projects. Dunning Kruger means that the conscientious are silent while midwits and the under-educated dominate the discourse. or, to quote Yeats "The best lack all conviction, while the worst /Are full of passionate intensity."https://twitter.com/VarangianSkull/status/1417824676642967558 …

      I've been struggling with blogging over the last year and a half or so, because anything I felt like saying that was worth a page or two... Well, someone smarter said it better.

      3/ going off on a tangent, Yeats won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1923. At some point I'd like to read at least some work by each NP for L winner (up to some cut off, when the Nobel Prize, like the Hugo decades later, turned to trash). I've read a bit so far >>>

      4/ At the intersection of Nobel Prize for Literature and homesteading is Knut Hamsun and his novel Growth of the Soil (which won the award in 1920) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_the_Soil … https://www.amazon.com/Growth-Soil-Penguin-Classics-Hamsun/dp/0143105108 … which I enjoyed a lot.

      5/ and it, famously, inspired Mark Knopfler when he wrote the song "Telegraph Road" for Dire Straits.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8bWGGA-5HM …

      6/ I've got a theory that it also inspire, at least partially, Ian McDonald's great novel https://www.amazon.com/Desolation-Road-Ian-McDonald/dp/1591027446 … https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/278284.Desolation_Road … and, oh, wow, there's a sequel! I had no idea.

          7/ and, to go off on another tangent - there's great literature out there. Don't let the fact that a lot of what PASSES for literature (B.R. Meyers does a great takedown in "A Reader's Manifesto" https://www.amazon.com/Readers-Manifesto-Pretentiousness-American-Literary/dp/0971865906 …) sucks dissuade you from looking for the gems.

          8/ read literature for free? that's crazy talk pretty sure you need to take out $200,000 of student loans and take 4 years out of your life to study literature in a universityhttps://twitter.com/erikpeterson72/status/1417845072528355330 …
