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 (loosely-)connected units. 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.

(I do a lot of [other stuff][main]. There is a [FAQ][] and an [RSS feed][RSS].)
