Ours Our version, based on what @13scoobie described. Not their wording. Fill in the [BRACKETS].

Every morning: pick one topic I haven't seen before (keep a list in topics.md). Research it at university-level depth from at least 3 good sources. Send a digest I can read in about 15 minutes: the core idea, how we know it, what's still debated, and links to the sources. Add the topic to topics.md.
