= Ciro Santilli's knowledge hoarding
{c}
{tag=Compulsive hoarding}
<Ciro Santilli> is a collector at heart. But a collector of knowledge.
His uncle, which Ciro rassembles in many ways, was like that. But he collected physical objects such as wines and stamps. Or even worse, objects that were meant to be collected such Panini soccer <sticker Albums>! This Ciro looks down on.
With computers, knowledge takes no physical space and can be immediately shared with the hole world, and there is great beauty to that, as you can just keep collecting forever without filling up your house.
But of course, physical or not, <memento mori>[all attachments futile].
Like other types <collecting>, once Ciro decides that "he must know everything about a given subject", he will keep coming back to that subject over and over. Not in a systematic way of course, since <Effortless effort>[Ciro is a lazy bastard], but he will keep coming back for a very long time, and eventually become an expert at it.
This <compulsive hoarding>, together with <Ciro Santilli's bad old event memory>, are the fundamental reasons for <OurBigBook.com>.
