Just in time for Christmas break! 🎄📚My take on why we should read primary texts, old books, and go through original reports/findings even if we use LLMs for research (even if we use it a lot!). Spoiler: not bcs it's cheating. Enjoy! :)

Me to hubby: Look, I got us this Zink/vitamin C supplement. You should take it too. It's good for immunity.

By thy gift, O Lord, we are set on fire, and are borne aloft: we burn, and we are on the way. We climb the ascents that are in the heart. With thy fire, with thy good fire, we burn and go on, for we go up to the peace of Jerusalem.

While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along

And feel its total dark sublime
Though this might take me a little time.

- W. H. Auden
