What is this all about

My name is Janne and this is my public notebook and archive for things I’ve thought about in English. (For my thoughts in Finnish, see jmkorhonen.fi.) I’ve been curious about many things over the years, and still believe that Robert A. Heinlein got something right here:

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
