The Next Time Someone Says the Internet Killed Reading Books, Show Them This Chart

“Remember the good old days when everyone read really good books, like, maybe in the post-war years when everyone appreciated a good use of the semi-colon? Everyone’s favorite book was by Faulkner or Woolf or Roth. We were a civilized civilization. This was before the Internet and cable television, and so people had these, like, wholly different desires and attention spans. They just craved, craved, craved the erudition and cultivation of our literary kings and queens.

Well, that time never existed. Check out these stats from Gallup surveys. In 1957, not even a quarter of Americans were reading a book or novel. By 2005, that number had shot up to 47 percent. I couldn’t find a more recent number, but I think it’s fair to say that reading probably hasn’t declined to the horrific levels of the 1950s.”

The Cult of Done Manifesto

There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.

Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.

There is no editing stage.

Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.

Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.

The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.

Once you’re done you can throw it away.

Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.

People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.

Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.

Destruction is a variant of done.

If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.

Done is the engine of more.

Cary and I were trying to get a date on when we met…and this is what I always look for online as a reference. The final night of Universe preceeded the morning that we actually talked on the phone…and I like to remember that I got home literally at 6:30AM, about three hours before our appointed phone call.

just looking at this makes me nostalgic in that regard as well as going there on saturday nights for a good 5-6 years to listen to some proper house music.

I've used methotrexate for a really long time and it was amazing for me! I never had any of the problems associated with it apart from an occasional bloody nose. This was a few years ago, since then I've switched to Enbrel and now to Stelara. Good luck and clear skin!!!!

I tried enbrel to no avail…and stelara was on my radar…I’m hopeful about mtx, to...
