Question to the universe: at one number of slides in a deck or word density per slide does it become better to just... Write a 2 page white paper? Certainly 58 pages exceeds the threshold right?
Seems important that in Fahrenheit 451, books were still “available” in single-paragraph summaries—“read Hamlet in five minutes!”—but the books themselves had been banned for being too difficult. Tech boosters see a warning and think it’s an instruction manual.
Studying the humanities is a powerful act of resistance against the illiterate tech moguls and brain-dead authoritarians who are actively trying to cultivate a population that's dumb and compliant. They don't want you to read, and therefore you must never stop.
Today I learned that in Finland they use to have about 4,000 reindeer/ car accidents a year so they paint their antlers with reflective paint and this is vaguely terrifying

Probably the most interesting book store in Japan right now is Passage, in Tokyo's Jimbocho district. It is divided into roughly three locations, and is run as a co-op by hundreds of people. Anyone can be a co-manager by renting/leasing a shelf in one of the 123 "rue" (street), each rue is further divided by shelves. On your shelf you display your name and your own miniature book store. You can curate your own selection of new books, or sell your used books, self-published books, and so on. One of the locations also has a good cafe. The turnover is not so slow that you won't find dozens of new bookstores every time you visit.
If you are one of millions to visit Japan this summer and want to see something most people miss, this might be an interesting destination.
