“It would be an enormous error to assume that our picture of the world is built only on logic. No matter how hard-headed one tries to be, one’s thinking is shaped by the biases of all-encompassing worldviews derived from assumptions of which one is barely (if at all) conscious. (One’s opponent often sees these assumptions more clearly. Since the relation is mutual, it is obvious that we need each another as critics, if nothing else.)” – Garrett Hardin

Personally reading feels more stressful than writing because it’s about absorbing new information. But I might be able to assimilate the experience of reading to that of writing, by programmatically linking the summary to my writings (i.e., /notes) via semantic search (e.g., with qmd plugin).TODO
