My home game going online and running nightly for much of the pandemic is the reason I’ve barely scratched the surface of book 6, but I finished the others long ago. If the whale runs out of money, the game will die, and my reading time will increase by orders of magnitude!
A brief discussion of the underrated fact that basically nobody has "done the reading":

No. 2 for sure. I remember having a thought process that went something like ’have any of these guys flinging round ‘kelly’ really worked out how to apply it to poker games or are they just using smart sounding jargon… …hmmm, probably Ike‘.

It’s also very very often the case with key concepts in the humanities that the original paper really repays reading rather than just going with the general understanding of it.

Reminds me of an analogy in the corporate world. Seems doing the reading = addressing (somewhat obvious) problems. Many people could tell you what the biggest problems are, and maybe even what the org should do to fix, but basically nobody does anything about it.

I also remember a bit from _Who Says Elephants Can't Dance_ where Lou Gerstner, new CEO, gave ~10 reports some task (going from memory, a 5-page report). Only something like half of them even *completed* the task.

@NateMeyvis isolating from family with Covid has helped me read book IV of Knausgaard, two Harry Potters and now starting on Cider House Rules with a few kids books you recommended mixed in. Likely get V of Knausgaard in this eeek too. -
I'm impressed! Good luck and best wishes to your family as they recover.
