Manuscript Editor Leibnitsa writes (from tweet below.. this is @Dr_L_Strickland):

Leibnitz manuscripts are notorious for their difficulty:

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz]: The more than 67,000 records of the working catalogue of the Leibniz-Edition cover almost all of his known writings and the letters from him and to him. The amount, variety, and disorder of Leibniz’s writings are a predictable result of a situation he described in a letter as follows: ‘I cannot tell you how extraordinarily distracted and spread out I am. I am trying to find various things in the archives; I look at old papers and hunt up unpublished documents. From these I hope to shed some light on the history of the [House of] Brunswick. I receive and answer a huge number of letters. At the same time, I have so many mathematical results, philosophical thoughts, and other literary innovations that should not be allowed to vanish that I often do not know where to begin.’

In fact, each of us should be able to write not to give a dissertation or give a manuscript to the publisher or make up in front of users, not for eternity or some other bullshit.

Just for myself. This is the correct version of freedom.

ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

I started writing when I started my blog in the wild North Carolina—among the toothless religious minions of Walmart. ZH was the only way to stay in touch – with myself, with reality. Found me his then demonic husband. Gotta give him credit.
