>>How did you like the book?
The more I've reflected on it, the more I realized it was sticking with me.

>How did you like the REVEAL?
Genuinely surprised.

>>What did anything actually mean?
What wasn't obvious to me was whether or not the super kids were fostered by the isolation of the island environment, or it was just globally "time." Like, were those the beginnings of the phenomena, among the less-controlled population, then it spread, it was the emergence just taking place at the same time everywhere?

>Have you watched the mini-series? Is it good?
I have not.

Putting suffering on-par with anything pleasant or neutral is, I guess, fine for academic go-arounds, but it tends to lose it's sting once applied to a thing with a working CNS. There is no subjective suffering in a nursing home. It matters. Suffering matters.

Saying otherwise displays the detachment from humanity that is the watermark of the academic.
