ABSTRACT
Sometimes I find myself procrastinating by surfing the web. I like to think this is worthwhile. It's a way of clearing mental space and collecting energy for work to be done, while looking out and enlarging my world. Reading short articles and essays works best. It needs to be something I mainly agree with, but not entirely. There should at least be some insight or perspective that complicates and challenges my own to a degree, which I can integrate with some reward and satisfaction. Finding it unnerving to have my prejudices simply confirmed, at such moments I want to change my mind to whatever extent it can be changed without being troubled, which is to say, slightly.
