End-of-life memoirs, the type where the author has a terminal illness and knows the end is nigh, are one of my favorite genres. Key takeaways after having read ~10 such books: 1. You will die. 2. Enjoy life. 3. Be kind.

Regardless of direction, votes are also useful for misidentifying videos that are what they claim to be. Rare kudos to YT; thumbs-up for the anti-reductionists on this one.
