I don&#8217;t know. Maybe the scope of the book has gotten out of hand and I am trying to appeal to too large an audience. I don&#8217;t really know. I know I am too tired to work on the book right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am too tired to think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have hit the point of exhaustion where not even caffeine gives me a boost anymore.
