I just finished reading Amusing Ourselves to Death, and it was great. This book helped me understand how the medium can shape what we perceive as information and knowledge. Now I'm interested in what are you guys reading.I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't read it yet, and I don't know if it was on this board, but I'd like to thank the anon who recommended this book.
>>539286945I'm reading this one. It's the first Encyclopedia written during Roman Empire and it's quite interesting to read when you want to try something different. Surprisingly a lot of newfag people can't even notice that the ID on your screen is not actually (you)Only really 15 real humans even post here anymore cocurrently. /poI/ is just as low traffic as any other altchans now. It's why only generals get attractions and they're bunch of circlejerk. Effort posts get ignored. /poI/ is now an extremely slow Youtube comment section. Any alternatives? https://cloakbin.com/AWTwdgTR#9GkCDDkelQvP-9ZE_YiaXFR8PFSYYybsnyCSljZqRf8
>>539286945>neil postman>le current year + 11Yeah we are beyond fucked. Ai is gonna render humanity thoughtless.
>>539286945His book Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology (1992) is also a classichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9Pau3v5i8c
>>539287531Twatter unironically. Although you can't tell niggers to kill themselves.
>>539288349Why not all of that. I do use Twatter too, but I will never let them triangulate my accnt
>>539286945Good to know OP, I'll check it out.At the moment I'm engrossed in picrel. It's a but heavy on the antisemitism, however, it presents some interesting themes and makes a lot of not so obvious connections.
>>539286945I am reading the Life of King D. Miguel. Yes, the brother who lost the war to your Brazilian Emperor. Very interesting. I just read Virgil's Geórgicas (Georgics?) but it's a pain in the ass with all the mythology and now unused words or terms so I have like 30 or 50 words to check on the dictionary or to do a quick dive in mythology for... and I don't want to do that. I don't feel like it. It's hard and I am to do that for a few days now. And I am about to read the Discourses of the first decae of Livy by Machiavelli and The Life of D. Pedro IV, your Brazilian cunt Emperor who destroyed my country.
>>539287531>Surprisingly a lot of newfag people can't even notice that the ID on your screen is not actually (you)What do you mean? Why did you chose that book?
>>539287531Thank you for sharing, Anon! I'll check it out.And yeah... unfortunatelly bots are spreading everywhere in every corner of internet nowadays.
>>539288491I mean you can but creating new accounts just becomes a nuisance.
>>539289160It's too much of a nuisance to make it untraceable at this point yeah. There's really not even a concept of "account" for this SX app. I would never have done this unless it was. They wants you to doubt each other now. It's not perfect, but I can't find better alts. Why not try "alternative of alternatives?"
>>539289378Oh yeah simple x is cool but I just haven't found anything other than /pol/fag chats. I like information and sometimes skimming through what seem endless messages just doesn't feel like it's worth it. Want a link to a sx room?
>>539290144YEah you have your own ? cool I'll join I slipped mine here but many are too busy to read even more than 3 lines now >>539287531
>>539289001Thank you for sharing Anon! And I also thank you for the Portuguese language, because otherwise I would be speaking the Ñ or tupi guarani language.Also, taking the opportunity, what books would you recommend for someone interested in Portuguese history in general?
>>539286945>I just finished reading Amusing Ourselves to Death, and it was greatI've read this a decade ago and thought it wasn't that interesting, but I should skim over it again to check if my comprehension has changed.I'm about to start this 60's book about the effects of the printing press on civilization and human psyche. The author knew that the print-dominated culture was disappearing and would be replaced by an image-dominated culture.
>>539286945I like reading and comparing years of encyclopedia brittanica. It's neat to see what information got changed, when, and then to look up the "why and what" of said changes.Politics changes facts more than sciences.The two often overlap.Nearly always the usual suspects.Point it out, show the changes, related information, etcetera and still no one cares enough to do anything.It's convinced me that you can literally do whatever you want, say whatever you want, whenever you want to do it, and some dumb nigger will say it's your right to do so and agree with everything you say.>If you're one of the few families that run the planet.You guys might just be cattle, and you like it when you get milked and celebrate your own slaughter.
