    One time I wrote a program that would convert a wikipedia article into plain text then run that through the say command in mac os terminal.

    For a while I’d put my computer to reading me a wikipedia article to fall asleep to. Or maybe I was trying to learn subconsciously through sleep or something, can’t remember.

    But what I do remember is that listening to the article on The Fermi Paradox, read to me by a robot voice, seemed kind of theatrical and badass, just how it reads.

    This was like 15 years ago so I don’t know if the article still reads badass.
