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.
