Great job with paean. Thanks for teaching me a new word.

Works for me, but I’m biased because that guy writes phenomenal short stories.

Spot on, this is also referred to as Goodhart’s Law.

I guess it’s not helpful to just post that I loved this one. But I did, so I’ll try to write a little more.

It was a slow burn, first pass was quick. I went back through it a few times getting more detail out of each repetition. The text formatting with no line breaks was a wonderful choice. Dealing with loss, impermanence, and the encroachment of universal truths. All of this either so overwhelming or inescapable that it’s immune to modern distraction based coping mechanisms. Or that they’ve become such a crutch we don’t know how else to manage them. Love how the title is just a nudge of meaning, a lever to my own interpretation that like the rest sinks in as you spend time with it.

Just great stuff. Thanks.

Thanks for the additional detail, this is a really interesting project.

Mothership does something similar, when someone goes down you roll in the dice in a cup and turn it over so no one knows the result unless they spend a turn doing triage. The drama is so intense since the situations are usually really frantic.

Great call, you have to be careful that you get the color version!

I lost my original copy and when I replaced it, there was no more color. Had to return that one to find one with color. I think it adds so much.

The Knife of Never Letting Go has a couple cool sections with fonts where as the action is rising you start turning pages faster.

The time is now! Children are our future! America can, should, and will blow up the moon!

Like most things they aren’t what they used to be. Find one with the old label inside, that will help. Supposedly also if it’s made from the Canada line, not from China.

I’ve had mine going on ten years and it’s well seasoned with the groans of wife and children. Best hat I’ve ever owned.
