sharper knives mean better cutting

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

And it works very, very well. It's one of these. Now my kitchen knives cut food without much actual pressure - almost as if their own weight were enough to do the slicing. I'm pleased.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
