Lots of Reading - some worthwhile.

As said, I have been reading too much.
Probably something to do with having low iron, low energy, and high interest and neural activity despite the aforementioned.

So I tend to "distill" little knowledge-bytes. Worthy of contemplation or remembrance.

Just a few for the nonce:

We are never as wise as we should be, nor as wise as we could be.
Humanity cannot bear too much reality.
