Can be personal or external but what is something (you believe/see reflected so strongly in reality) AND (!(OR) the world of ideas)

AND but not OR

Please stick to that which you are confident about and holds to at least the spirit of the question

I'm confident that even two decades after leaving college I can write an essay on any literary, historical, or philosophical text in a single draft without more than half an hour of reading and turn it in for an above-average grade.

for what kind of assignment, are we talking undergrad or grad school papers?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Undergrad, non-research papers. Textual analysis, that sort of thing.

thanks, I don't know why it was worth clarifying that, but it was a kind of impulse for me to do so anyway, lol - sorry about that, but also thank you 🫶

Very good, how long is the turnaround time for the essay production after that 0.5 hours?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 days ago

Twenty minutes per twelve-point-double-spaced page, give or take, I'm not a fast typist.
