An unusual #map/cartogram... Sep 1917 issue of @USNIProceedings, "Naval War Notes," ed. by then-LT Isaac Kidd. An article on "Attacking the Great Germanic Fortress" presents the Central Powers as having a single fortification with connected citadels and bastions. #geography

"Take the long road, in anything. Life admits no shortcuts." @nntaleb

"No, I don't want to 'learn fast', in any subject. I don't want shortcuts. If I don't enjoy the subject, I don't want to learn it; and if I enjoy it, I want to prolong the pleasure. I avoid what exam-takers do: I trade speed for depth." @nntaleb
