This article has a overlong wind-up, but hang in there; it’s good once it gets going.

The specific idea that @buherator highlights in the OP excerpt — that sometimes the process •is• the point, that it can be very misleading to call it “productivity” when we bypass human thought — brings to mind Camus’s _Myth of Sisyphus_.

We are so deeply trained to imagine that •all• effort is waste, it’s no wonder that we struggle to find a sense of purpose and meaning in our lives.

Yes! More good stuff via @buherator:

❝In a world where attention is fragmented in seconds, thinking becomes more reactive than reasoned. Only when we have time to play with a problem can we hope to think about it substantially.❞

My retired English prof mom always says, “Good writing is good thinking.”
