It, uh, was a busy year I guess? Training myself to listen to higher playback speeds is definitely paying off. I listen to almost everything at 1.75x now, unless it's particularly dense.
Some research projects left a long shadow here. Earlier in the year I set about grounding my Existentialism better, and then latter I got obsessed with the philosophies of math and science, for the book I'm kind of writing.
The funny thing is, I still don't feel like I get enough reading done.
