I think what they are getting at is if you want to actually learn some deep fundamental knowledge on a topic, its still going to be best found in a book today over a youtube video or a medium post. Does anyone know of a good place for daily mind training that is like this? I really did look forward to that dose of mind-training every day when I went through it. Sentenced to death on a false charge, he refused to escape from the death cell, even when opportunity was offered.Īs an aside, I'd love for an updated version of the Harvard Classics complete with 15-minute-a-day type readings or other media. 31-43 : Plato's Crito - Socrates unceasingly strove for beauty, truth, and perfection.

If you'd like to read along too, you can download scanned versions of the books here. I'll fully admit though, there were some real stinkers in there. Like, I like Shakespeare now he's really good! And I read through that philosophy finally, and that was really good too! And, lord, the poetry I never really liked poems, but now I really love them. I went through it all a few years ago, and man, that was a really good idea. Personally speaking, the greatest thing about the Harvard Classics was the 15-minute-a-day Reading Guide to the corpus. Eliot put together about all of the great books that those Gilded Age scions were supposed to digest. Elliot's 5 foot shelf of books' was what an undergraduate degree at Harvard in 1909 included. The Harvard Classics was a great attempt about a century ago. But, as always, determining what is on that bookshelf is a tough one. Problem is we lack good tools/software/systems for authoring and combining it.Ī few of the other sub-commentors here are talking about a good bookshelf as a solution to Herb's problem. IMO hypermedia is the way to tackle the ever growing complexity of interdisciplinary science in general, and also for the sciences themselves. But still, I've been surprised by some things which I've thought I'd knew very well, but didn't :-) Of course, if you're already deep into something, then most of what's available will only make you yawn. See it as a thing where countless words, and maybe formulas and illustrations have been compressed into a 'flip-book', thereby reaching an information density which enables you to get into it fast, or even to understand it at all because it is so vast, needing that density to even try to get all that stuff across.

Long story short: There are many things which can profit from animations, short video clips, or full documentary style. While National Geographic has excellent 'production values', WTF they need to spoil that with background music? (This is the one thing that is aggravating me so much in documentaries.) No comparison to something from History Channel, Disney, National Geographic, or such. OTOH there are videos on YT where people just present something with a few slides, sometimes short animations which are excellent, no matter if hobbyist, some technical conference, or academic context. Think of it as a Mind- or Concept-map, maybe with something like embedded, for getting an overview into something new. it needs to be produced with 'readability' in mind, otherwise it's a mess. Especially when complex and interlinked with other complex topics.īut. I think there are topics which profit from hyperlinking. Much better discoverability of new stuff that way, and no spam from subscribed channels either.ītw., who is saying that books aren't biased? ->įurthermore different people have different 'neuroarchitectures', habits, training, resulting in different 'learning experiences' and preferences.
I guess I have a few hundred blocks now, and almost no subscriptions to any channels. That gives a vastly different experience, with much less trash.
Any channel which trends on the homepage, which you see when you go there without cookies, and logged out? Block them. Any channel whose producer kills your nerves with over-dramatizing, grimacing, adverts? Block it.Īny channel which produces vapid fluff which you find uninformative, boring, etc.? Block it. Any video you didn't like? Erase it from your history. Regarding Youtube, if you have an account there you can curate your experience. Problem is, you can't know which is which before having seen/read them. There are good videos, and there are not so good books.
