The Fear of Not Mastering

I'm thinking for me, it's more like Hegel. It'd be easier instead of reading through, you know, Kant or secondary literature to grasp it or any other thinker. So, a few years ago I had a graduate student in philosophy who decided to write his PhD, the first version of PhD by hand. He disconnected internet in the room where he was writing PhD and also allowed himself the mobile phone news only in some rooms - did that pay off? Did that work out? Yes, yes, yes. Actually, at the end he did retype it,. You know, he passed successfully.
