Stop writing comments, stop writing blog posts and stop doing anything at all because you know: you're not better than anyone.

Sigh. This kind of post annoys me. The purpose isn't to be "better than anyone", it's to share something you personally find interesting.

Most of the time like writing blog posts. But this time it's something I've seen before and here I really get the feeling that the writer wants to be "better than anyone". Well, at least show that "anyone" is worse.

Oh, you say it ironically, but oh boy, how fortunate we would be if more people took this advice. Including the author, me, and you.

I'm pretty sure we are all familiar with the StN ratio in information theory.

Agreed. I just see it for what it is: The author is projecting.

That's fine, it's fair to project on you own blog.
