Sometimes I wish I spent more time reading deep books, and less time on the Internet. And it's true that the Internet can be addicting. But it also tosses up the weirdest intellectual flotsam and jetsam, and sometimes this detritus can trigger interesting thoughts on its own.
It can be reassuring to know that even Thomas Hobbes, for his part, felt he hadn't read as much as many others had. But he reframed it as a strength. Maybe some day I can aspire to that.
