+Emacs enables Emacs developers to produce some very impressive and
+useful things.  It can also inspire examination and discussion of
+profound ideals.  But what about the everyday user who may not always
+feel that they live up to these examples? What about the "dark matter"
+of the Emacs universe? There's a lot of us out there, and we have an
+important effect, but it may be hard to see it. What about life after
+the EmacsConf inspiration has started to fade, and we find ourselves
+working much the same way as we always have? In this
+not-very-technical short reflection (perhaps just a personal
+projection pep talk), I want to recognize and celebrate the experience
+of these users.
+
+Colored by my personal unremarkable usage of Emacs, I'll describe some
+of the practices and "imperfections" that everyday Emacs users might
+experience &#x2013; trying to create and remember keybindings, writing many
+quick hacky functions to solve miscellaneous problems, trying to learn
+more than we forget, half-implemented ideas, messy organic .emacs,
+etc. I'll frame these positively, as a great way to use Emacs for our
+own personal mundane needs, and a sign of our own dedication and
+pragmatism. I'll opine on how Emacs is, conversely, a perfect platform
+for this kind of usage in addition to highly-organized packages and
+modes.
