Instead of that, I got to read Anthem and I instead learned communism is when committees decide if you can have lightbulbs or not. The more power gets concentrated into non-ubermenschen, the more communistical a society is.

I can't hate on Lex's reading list because every time I try to learn anything outside my specialty I end up reading things like "the big picture book of circuits: my first battery!" I think it's cute that he's trying to broaden his horizons and also aiming pretty low.

The only one from that list I read in public school was Brave New World.burnishedfume posted:Instead of that, I got to read Anthem and I instead learned communism is when committees decide if you can have lightbulbs or not.

I remember telling my high school English teacher I thought Anthem was awful and he basically responded with “yeah I know but the school wants me to be ‘unbiased’ “

Cold on a Cob posted:setting a "i'm going to read a book per week" is such a weird thing to publicly announce. also lol that he seems to give each entry a week, regardless of how dense the content is. you get the dopamine release from saying you're going to do something then never following through. as far as I can remember he made it like 2 books in with some effort posting then completely forgot/ignored his whole schtick because these people all have the attention spans and willingness to follow through of a goldfish.

Fridman follows a few dozen people now (and it's a dumb guy follow list) but when I first came across him he only followed 4 while having 400k followers at the time but then whittled that down to two - the President of Russia account and Zelensky's because he wanted to get them on the pod to sort out their differences.

Why read the most famous books where you already kinda know the story. Read all the beat generation stuff and get immersed in the spirit of a time and place. idk it's the same as "I'm going to play every final fantasy in order of western release" or whatever. nerd poo poo

Cold on a Cob posted:https://twitter.com/lexfridman/status/1609301085524578304?s=20 ive read two of these books, one of them in high school (voluntarily, not assigned, 2001 a space odyssey) and one of them in my mid-twenties when i would get blackout drunk every single night so i don't remember a thing that happened other than i read it (frankenstein) we did accelerated reader and the school was much more freedom on required reading, you had to pick x number of nonfiction books + x number of fiction books that could be considered noteworthy/important in literature before you could graduate. i remember asking if the shining and the jungle counted for it and being told that some students were submitting harry potter books (also counted) in order to graduate lol.

I did AR and I needed to get 50 'points' because my reading level was good. So I looked and saw 'the once and future king' was the only singular book worth 50 points, I read it and failed the test. My teacher said that I should read more books to reach the goal, kinda admonished my arrogance so I went the other way Goosebumps was worth 1/2 a point and I could read 2 of those a day so I chugged out goose bumps and books like that. like 40 page thin novels with big font for 8 year olds. whatever. cause making a book worth different points is the stupidest loving thing. AR makes kids hate reading, it trains you to hate books the tests are like 'harry potter sends messages with which animal? 1. owl 2. mouse 3. pigeon 4. cat and you answer 25 like that and if you get them all right you get credit for reading the book. yah that's great that makes me reflect on what I read and learn

My teacher said that I should read more books to reach the goal, kinda admonished my arrogance so I went the other way I'm sure the system has changed now that it has been two decades, but back when I was in middle school, the books you "tested" on were cleared every year, so if you could remember books, it was an easy way to blaze through it. I was a huge fan of Lord of the Rings and those books were worth a lot. Basically let me breeze through majority of the school year and just read what I wanted. If I ever needed books for quick points, our library had an extensive Louis L'Amour section.
