Not really that long, just an amusing history of the origins of an expression, but of course, I am easily amused. History, human nature and the evolution of human interaction form a rich field of things worth examining more closely. Everything is there, from the tragic to the comic and it can be a source of both awe and disgust. Happy reading!
Long would be something like 3,000 pages that nobody actually reads.

I just like to watch the rise and decline, the turn of the tides and the stars burning hydrogen far above our tiny struggle.

Sometimes it is useful to step away from the noise and examine ideas.
To turn them over in your hand like a finely machined part, to marvel at the fit and finish, the design and material. To realize it is the physical manifestation of ideas. And like parts, it becomes obvious that some ideas and their physical manifestations are of much higher quality than others.
