More Than Double That...

Welcome to the 13th Amendment...

I'm old enough that I'm a Tom Swift, Hardy Boys and Robert Heinlein kid.

You were either a Magic Treehouse kid, a Goosebumps kid, an Animorphs kid, or a Babysitters Club kid.

AI still has a long way to go. Study the umbrella and the dog's face if you wonder why I say this...

Note from an older person: we fucked up. I apologize. Please unfuck the world, for your own sake.

I was 36. I'd been married for 9 1/2 years at that point.

It turns out that a lot of people don't like to read because they were never properly taught how, and more importantly, WHY to read. For them, reading was a way to find the answer. "Why did David fear the old man? (Page 43)" They never went beyond this, so why bother reading if you are not trying to answer a question for the teacher? They never experienced the joy of reading, of reading for its own sake, of reading just to find new ideas.

Sadly, for many people, thinking is the same way. (And there is a BIG overlap in the middle of the Venn Diagram between peple who don't read and people who don't think.)
