The Cure for Thinking is Work

“all scholars – need to do less thinking and more working.” When your thinking," Stallybrass writes, “you're usually staring at a blank sheet of paper or a blank screen, hoping that something

will emerge from your head and magically fill that space. Even if something “comes to you’’ there's
no reason to believe that it is of interest, however painful the process has been’’ (1584). This is a
key insight that students and scholars alike need to be reminded of: tortured and laborious
thinking does not automatically translate into anything of importance."
