    Where are the notes in this post? I can only see a bunch of quotes and zero original thought of the author.

      When you took notes in class was it required of you to add original thought for it to be notes?

        Taking notes in class is akin to making a transcript of what the teacher said in class so you can remember and refer to what was said in class. The encyclical is a written document, so there is no need for a transcript, and "notes" implies commentary and analysis.

      HN has influencers like any other community. In this case, the upvotes are for the author and not the post.

      Quote selection is, of course, representative of original thought of the author.

        Still they are not notes, which means GP continues to be valid.
