Where are the notes in this post? I can only see a bunch of quotes and zero original thought of the author.
- KPGv2 5mo agoQuote selection is, of course, representative of original thought of the author.
- the-grump 5mo agoStill they are not notes, which means GP continues to be valid.
- KPGv2 5mo agoYou made me look up the definition of "note." It appears to mean a short piece of writing meant to be commentary or to share information. OP's link looks like it's both of those things. Are you perhaps confusing "note" with "analysis"?
- aabhay 5mo agoWhen you took notes in class was it required of you to add original thought for it to be notes?
- Kwpolska 5mo agoTaking notes in class is akin to making a transcript of what the teacher said in class so you can remember and refer to what was said in class. The encyclical is a written document, so there is no need for a transcript, and "notes" implies commentary and analysis.
- nilirl 5mo agoHN has influencers like any other community. In this case, the upvotes are for the author and not the post.
- basisword 5mo agoI think it's just a poorly worded title. "Highlights from x" would be more clear. "Notes on" suggests some commentary.
- simonw 5mo agoMy original title was actually "Highlights from", then I changed it to "Notes on" because that was a shorter title for linking on social media. Did not expect to get called out for not making it "notes-like" enough! I think including the Vatican News bit about how the Pope chose the name Leo because he planned to think about AI in the same way his predecessor had thought about the Industrial Revolution earns an upgrade to "notes", personally.
- basisword 5mo agoNo complaints from me, just trying to explain the confusion. Personally with a 'notes on' I'd expect a full piece of original commentary about the thing (rather than mostly excerpts from the thing) but it's not a big deal.
