I’m struck by how heavily the image at the top is weighted toward the high end of the scale. Once you get to about 6 or so, are further distinctions particularly illuminating? If the trash pile reaches 6 feet instead of 5 feet, I’d say that’s more indicative of the hoarder’s *height* than pathology at that point...
Sad to see RL go but glad something is coming from the ashes.
This has me thinking about what I don't collect/consume (something I often thought about while reading RL). Ironically, I find that physically consumable things often provide a less immersive experience than digitally consumable things. And where's the in between?
so good. some of the best tech writing i've read in the past months -- very happy that this newsletter is continuing despite the closing of RL
Every time I read your blogs I am blown away. Thanks for continuing this informative work.
So interesting and mind opening. Thank you for sharing this in my mailbox, for free.

Anyway, great piece.
