My writers’ block seems to be manifesting in a new way. There’s a clever recursive thing I could say about how I should be writing about my writers’ block but I can’t because I have writers’ block.

… except that I can’t make the clever recursive thing read right BECAUSE I HAVE WRITERS’ BLOCK.

@marick You may enjoy "To mock a mocking bird" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Mock_a_Mockingbird It's told in a journy through a forest and birds call out and other birds respond, but it's really all about combinators, SK(I) calculus, etc.

@Spoofer3 I used to be something of a Smullyan fan in my more mathy days.

For some reason, combinators never really grabbed me. Probably was corrupted by learning Lisp before combinators were cool.
