High Decoupling. Hard sci-fi enjoyer. Data enjoyer.

Likes = endorsement of the joke.
That's the joke.

They didn't even bother coloring NH. Why?

[Athenaeum Book Club @athenaeumbc]

54% of US adults (age 16-74) — roughly 130 million people — read below a 6th-grade level.

Why is nobody talking about this?

To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization. If the collapse in reading is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.

Every 4-6 weeks, we read a new great work together: we've covered texts like Homer's Iliad, Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, and Don Quixote.

We're about to start reading The Brothers Karamazov.

We are reading the great works slowly, intentionally, and in dialogue with each other.

If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group. Consider a paid subscription if you'd like to support — it makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate. We are entirely funded by our members.

You'll get:

- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next

@RokoMijic that seems like a good way to help one car injure or kill hundreds

[Ivor Schmechtenberger @giuseppe_aaron]

@kendrictonn I've had a question. It seems easy to get a model to pose for a live painting. But I would want a painting of an old codger cleaning his rifle or pistol, and it's less likely such a guy has the interest in posing for a painting. You could use a photo, but that's gauche. What do?

[Ivor Schmechtenberger @giuseppe_aaron]

@kendrictonn This makes that millennial gray home decor pop

@cremieuxrecueil "is just ageism in a lab coat" smells like llm

[Ivor Schmechtenberger @giuseppe_aaron]

@MorlockP This scissor is fascinating. I'm pro recline, but wow. You seem consistent here with your zoning take. The seat is a bundle of rights and expectations and things you've agreed to give up when you paid for it.

[Ivor Schmechtenberger @giuseppe_aaron]

What's the AA equivalent to people addicted to llms? Agents Anonymous?
