It disgusts me as much as the vomit itself.

When bookmaxxing is ongoing, I shred my readings and turn them into disgusting paper vomits. Why does reading have to be the starter for a learning quest, a research project, or a strand of thinking? Or a remedy for making up lost time on doomscrolling, or a solution to the literacy crisis.

From intellectual influencers to scholars, the age-old cliché regurgitation happens at all levels. Repurposing what we have eaten and vomiting it out is so common that it disgusts me.

I am no exception. I always wake up looking for the next thing to consume. At what point do I decide that I have consumed enough and actually start to create?
