This week I talk about why summarizing everything isn't actually reading more — summaries rob you of the experience, the context, and the ability to form your own opinion, and I'd rather read one primary source than 14 summaries I'll forget. Then a heavy but admirable piece from The Dispatch on Ben Sasse facing terminal cancer with poise, and what it teaches us about being present with our families, and a recommendation for Lou Gehrig's Luckiest Man speech on YouTube.Links:Don't Let AI Steal Your LifeBen Sasse Is Teaching Us How to Die—And Live—Well (The Dispatch)Lou Gehrig's Luckiest Man SpeechIf you enjoyed this, consider joining my newsletter at https://streamlined.fm/wrap.
