@allison one thing I hated about academia was the obsession with identifying prior work and citing stuff. I will forever agree with Wittgenstein on this:

> How far my efforts agree with those of other philosophers I will not
decide. Indeed what I have here written makes no claim to novelty in
points of detail; and therefore I give no sources, because it is indifferent
to me whether what I have thought has already been thought before me
by another.
