    actually doing the reading is a big part of being good at any field. i remember being struck by Michael Hudson mentioning some minute detail of the latest like 500 page US treasury report and thinking like oh right dude is serious about his work and actually reads those cover to cover

      That’s why I have @grok read and interpret everything for me.

      jk, of course. But that sort of thinking is probably why Zitron is the only dude actually reading these things.
