in grad school i used to compulsively download interesting-sounding textbooks from libgen and sort them by subject in calibre. read almost none of them. it flattens the incentive landscape in a weird way to have invisible digital access to everything. very unnatural. the human animal yearns to come across a book organically by combing through the shelves of a library or bookstore and being struck by the physicality of its cover like our ancestors foraging through the bush for delicious treats
It's funny when people haven't seen the tide has already passed. Your kid is just gonna end up a different kind of weird. The "my parents didn't let me watch Spongebob or read Harry Potter" kind of weird. Tragic
