what was to be demonstrated?
reading Quadrant’s ‘QED’ is sometimes interesting and always hilarious and—generally—rewardingly infuriating. but it can also be a ridiculous waste of time in which you could have a lot of better, more reasonable and more eloquent ideas of your own …
so it’s past two am, and I’ve just written nine-hundred words about how some articles I just read were rubbish. but I’ve not done the editing I’d set for the evening.
this happens a lot.
