  • I do write small writing prompts on my phone whenever I get an idea. I just need to go and pick them up sometime :P

    My problem with writing is that sometimes I just hover over a single sentence and sometimes I just ramble on a couple of paragraphs then re-read it to see that what I wrote was overtly detailed (just like how I tend to overexplain things when talking).

    I guess its a start, but I like your idea of timeboxing the writing activity.





















  • True but that is simply an outcome of something they enabled. Perhaps without IBMs influence, the holocaust wouldn’t be so streamlined and wouldn’t be as atrocious as it turned out to be.

    The real question would be which is worse:

    • A holocaust where IBM enabled Nazi atrocities but with an incriminating paper trail

    • A holocaust without IBMs involvement, less efficient and with lesser evidence

    Both scenarios are so bad that its akin to asking whether killing someone with a gun is better than killing them with a knife. You could argue that one is better than the other but the subject matter itself is so bad that it doesn’t even matter whether one is better than the other.
