It started with a [simple observation back][Twitter pali] in 2011:

> I just realized that the [Pali Canon][] is essentially an offline blog.

[Many][AJATT] [blogs][Technium] focus on certain ideas and, over time, accumulate enough posts that people start thinking of them as a (loosely-)connected unit. Over on LessWrong, they call these [Sequences][LW sequences].

The Pali Canon is just that - a collection of Buddhist Sequences.

There's only one problem - they wrote them Before Internet. Heck, some of them are completely hipster - they did this before everyone was into this newfangled "writing" thing.

This shit is seriously old is what I'm saying. And long. *Boy* are these sutras long. And there is a shockingly low amount of cat pictures in the canon as well.

Maybe that can be fixed.

It's time for a [Bro][PhiloBro]dhisattva to step forward and [reblog][] Buddhist scripture.
