#2I start fighting it by not reading the article, only the title, but I can honestly relate to the problem.

My reaction is the same as yours.

#8This is extremely weird because today I was reading about how the US military is upping its logistics power in asia to counter China invading Taiwan.
And the phrase they used was a shift from “just in time” logistics to “just in case” logistics.
So this is the first time I’m seeing this phrase and now this article uses it again.

#10It's interesting to consider that being 'well read' may always be a function of, say, the last 10 books you read (or the number of books your read in the last 3 years, or something like that).
