I just remembered the salesman who showed us a van at the dealership a few years ago. He had a decade's worth of sales awards on his desk that referred to him as "Michael", then "Mike", then "Big Mike". That guy was climbing the ladder

We're talking the past year in reading, but I want to set out my goal for the next year: classics.
I'm hardly the expert, but I have read a ton of 18th-20th c. novels. I want to move on to
- The Iliad and the Odyssey
- Ørdberg's Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata
- Gallic Wars in Latin

Unfortunately, everyone wants the "offload responsibility" machine so badly that they won't let those little details of its affect on society deter its spread
Remember:
When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.
When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.
ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.
