if U want Out , youneed to Quit cold turkey , replacing it does Nothing at all inthe end

why should they? libraries, public domain e-books, great online second-hand book selection ...

“Don’t memorize ideas. And don’t take us too seriously when we turn up our noses at rote learning. Rote helps build the man."

a significant section of tiktok is people who post a wall of text

for example, i have no need for a sports app or website to check the box score of a game, i just type in the name of the team into google and it's there at the top of the page

i don't think this is widely adopted though, most people i know are still married to the idea of having an app than using their mobile browser, it will take some time (or a stellar marketing campaign for the google and bing apps)

So AI will summarize what other AI has written?

i encourage those interested to seek out Athenaze (in italian) instead. i commend the effort put into this though

As an alternative, there is the Spanish translation of the Athenaze Italian edition, which is very close to the Italian one, and not like the English one.

Currently slowly trying to go through it.

Why in Italian? Athenaze has an English version as well. Is the Italian version substantively different or improved?

yes, the content is very different. The Italian version is more like what the subject of this post is, Ørberg style.

The Italian edition is an expanded version of the original textbook, but they don't have permission to sell it in other markets.

Ah, I see, thank you!

very true, in my experience it's been hard to keep up by hand and much faster to type, but like handwritten notes i rarely reference meeting or project notes so i put little effort into organization. i settled on using onenote and different tabs for different teams

i don't care for elon & co.'s broader mission, but for this reason i am hoping the skeleton crew that remains succeeds - i admit that it's naive to expect any positive change to come from it though

he's a big yarvin (mencius moldbug) guy, he's read entries from the gray mirror (yarvin's substack) on stream. people who were into nrx (neo-reactionary) figures like yarvin and bronze age pervert (see: bronze age mindset quote in the op) pivoted to a religious slant, taking up catholicism or orthodox christianity in the last couple years for what seems to be aesthetic reasons and/or resentment of the general state of things

this is just my perspective as a passive observer trying to be objective as best i can, so take all of this as you will (and at the same time who am i to question their faith? how can i know that george hotz wasn't actively religious prior to recent broader developments?)

Disquieting to hear such a brilliant and promising young engineer is so taken with Yarvin's hokey crap.

Are there are other prominent young tech people who are openly into NRX? I hear about Yarvin and his Thiel funding spreading themselves around, but I haven't any idea if it's actually taking hold in tech circles.
