Estudio muy loco donde se descubre que una sola operación:
eml(x,y) = exp(x) − ln(y)
...combinada con la constante 1, genera absolutamente toda la matemática de tu calculadora científica... senos, cosenos, raíces, logaritmos, e, π, i... todo.
Este hallazgo sugiere que cosas que parecían muy distintas (el seno, la raíz cuadrada, el número π) están todas hechas de la misma pieza básica, solo combinada de formas diferentes... y es que al final, parece que toda la realidad, incluso la simbólica como la matemática, emergería de piezas más elementales...
I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is.
University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.
Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.
