Interestingly, this brought me to my own notes on "the whale," from November 13, 2012. Link here.
Note, there are two editions of The Whale by Philip Hoare. I have a copy of each.
This gives me a chance to put another plug in for chatbots. Simply incredible. Chatbots make the original search engines look amateurish and incredibly un-useful. I cannot imagine where chatbots will be twenty years from now. If you're using google now, you're using a chatbot. So folks who tell me they don't use / trust chatbots have no idea what they're talking about.
Back to Moby Dick for a moment:

Father of the Welfare State
AI prompt:
In the massive book, Modern Painters, John Ruskin, abridged and edited, in the introduction it is stated (unless I have the wrong reference and read it elsewhere), John Ruskin was the father of "The Welfare State" or something to that effect. I recall reading that but I may have the wrong book and/or even the wrong man? Am I recalling this correctly?
