"Read books!" They said, "It'll be fun!!" They said

Now I have a reading addiction, impossibly high standards and I'm unsatisfied with the real world.

I'm gonna read Slice of Life manga again (to purify my soul).

Any recommendations?

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's.

This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates.

This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages.

What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime.

This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12.

Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.

The virus is called "covert mortality nodavirus" because it kills shrimp without any visible symptoms. The shrimp look fine. Then they're dead. It earned that name in aquaculture farms where entire populations would collapse overnight with zero external warning signs.

Now it's doing something similar in human eyes.

CMNV targets the anterior uveal tract, the middle layer of the eye. It triggers inflammation and sends intraocular pressure through the roof, mimicking glaucoma. Standard antivirals don't work because nobody was testing for an aquatic nodavirus in human eye tissue. Every patient in the study tested negative for herpes, shingles, and every other known ocular virus. Doctors were diagnosing it as idiopathic for years.

The research team in China sequenced fluid directly from patients' eyes and found a 98.96% genetic match to the CMNV strains circulating in farmed shrimp. 70 out of 70 patients tested positive for CMNV antibodies. They infected mice with it and got the same eye symptoms.

71.4% of cases traced back to handling or eating raw seafood. But some cases had no clear seafood exposure at all, which raises the question nobody wants to ask about human-to-human transmission.

The part that should concern everyone outside China: CMNV has been detected in 49 aquatic species across waters in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The virus is already global. The diagnosis isn't.

@ScholarshipfPhd Hi

[Slim @onu_slim]

If you are in the university/college, this is how to ruin your life.

First, take your academics lightly. Tell yourself school is a scam and stop attending lectures. Miss tests. Skip assignments. Graduate with a terrible result or not at all. Employers will not ask about your excuses. They will only see your transcript.

Second, spend all your time chasing parties, clout, and vibes. Turn every night into a club night. Turn every weekend into a hangout marathon. Post enjoyment online while your mates are building skills quietly. By the time reality hits, you will have memories but no value.

Third, refuse to learn any useful skill. Say tech is overrated. Say business is stressful. Say learning is for nerds. Graduate with only your certificate and nothing else. Then join the crowd shouting that there are no jobs.

Fourth, depend on your parents forever. Keep asking for allowance. Keep borrowing money. Keep living like responsibility is optional. One day they will stop sending. Then panic will introduce itself to you.

Fifth, surround yourself with unserious friends. The ones that hate progress. The ones that mock ambition. The ones that think reading is wasting time. If your circle is not building, you are decaying.

Sixth, avoid internships and real world exposure. Graduate without knowing how anything works. No experience. No network. No mentor. Then complain that Nigeria is hard.

Seventh, waste your student years on small thinking. Believe that life starts after school. Meanwhile, the smart ones are building while still on campus.

University is not just about lectures. It is about positioning.

If you use these years well, life becomes easier.
If you waste them, life becomes brutal.

School is not the problem.
What you do inside school is what decides your future.

A rare case where a surgeon accidentally developed his patient’s cancer

Cancer is not considered contagious. If cancer cells from another person enter your body, your immune system is supposed to destroy them.

But in very rare situations, biology doesn’t follow the rules.

A 32-year-old man underwent emergency surgery for an aggressive soft-tissue cancer called malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Sadly, he died shortly after the operation due to complications.

During the surgery, the 53-year-old surgeon accidentally injured the palm of his left hand while placing a drain. The wound was small, immediately cleaned, and properly dressed. No one thought much of it.

Five months later, the surgeon noticed a hard lump growing at the exact spot where his hand had been injured. It slowly enlarged to about 3 cm, roughly the size of a large coin.

The lump was surgically removed.

The diagnosis was shocking.

It was malignant fibrous histiocytoma, the same rare cancer the patient had.

The surgeon was otherwise healthy. Tests showed no immune deficiency. So how could this happen?

The DNA answered the question

Pathologists compared both tumors under the microscope and found them to be identical in appearance. But the real proof came from DNA testing.

Using genetic markers and HLA typing (a way of identifying tissue origin), doctors showed that the tumor in the surgeon’s hand carried genetic material from the patient.

This meant only one thing:

👉 The cancer had been accidentally transplanted from patient to surgeon during surgery.

Cancer cells likely entered through the small hand injury and managed to survive long enough to form a tumor.

Fortunately, the tumor was completely removed.
At two-year follow-up, the surgeon was healthy, with no recurrence and no spread.

Why this case is so remarkable:

This case does not mean cancer spreads through touch or casual contact. It shows that direct implantation of living cancer cells, under very specific conditions, can rarely lead to tumor growth, even in a healthy person.

It’s a rare exception that reminds us:

- Cancer isn’t contagious, but biology has loopholes
- The immune system is powerful, not perfect
- Medicine still encounters situations that challenge long-held beliefs

Albert Camus said there’s only one serious philosophical question: whether to kill yourself. here’s one answer: if you choose to live, then do it offensively. don’t ration your existence. life demands you go all in on yourself. it will keep pushing until you get it.

🚨Anna's Archive had (pirated) 61M+ books and 95M+ research papers freely available.

So, it's been shut down. We shouldn't use it anyway.

We should help billion-dollar academic publishers get richer.

Anyway, here's how you can still access Anna's Archive:

DON'T DO THIS!
