One of my brothers attended a predominantly Jewish college. I believe it's fair to say that the college is careful to explain it's not a religious school, but rather it allows Judaic principles to guide its educational mission.

I attended a Jesuit founded / run college.

What I realized recently is that as graduates of our respective colleges, he's the one who gets free access to Jstor as an Alumni benefit.


I had missed my 'free' Jstor shopping privileges for a long time, in a general sense. But recently I had a moment when the yearning for access struck a deep chord within me. I found some publicly accessible internet information on a topic that seemed to imply a contradiction / error / bias, which left me scouring for earlier source material about Dog River, and the general historical importance of that area in a cultural/political/resource/military context.

If given a choice of regaining free access to LexisNexis or Jstor, this current version of self would pick Jstor.

If it costs $250 per month to use Google's new AI suite, I wonder how much per month would the subscription cost to have deep conversations with AI about Jstor and LexisNexis content?

Access to the tools that increase the chance for success and/or meaningful action: go try to build a home without a hammer and saw.
