I wrote an essay and sent it to Chomsky once. He wrote back that he probably won't have time to read it.
Some years ago I realized that I can just start sending emails to an OSS mailing list. Without introduction just starting to post as if I belonged there. I had already made some grammar fixes more than five years before that but I started to comment and critique submissions. And submitting my own patches. Now checking the mailing list is daily habit. Unfortunately I didn't have time to post the second version of a submission on the bus today (another documentation fix).
People, and especially in my culture, are very good at staying out of places where they do not belong through self-policing alone. Unfortunately to the point where at least I do get stuck in narrow patterns and never even consider certain opportunities.

Chomsky was always amazing for this.
Yet he always found the time to read and respond to his bestie Jeff Epstein.
Absolutely. You didn't have to make an account to remind me, at least. His relationship with Epstein was shameful and there is no excuse for it.
