“Don’t memorize ideas. And don’t take us too seriously when we turn up our noses at rote learning. Rote helps build the man."

for example, i have no need for a sports app or website to check the box score of a game, i just type in the name of the team into google and it's there at the top of the page

i don't think this is widely adopted though, most people i know are still married to the idea of having an app than using their mobile browser, it will take some time (or a stellar marketing campaign for the google and bing apps)

yes but no, generated blurbs by the search engine itself to answer user searched questions (how average joe uses google) will kill seo; you can make a million generated articles but almost no one will read them if google provides the user with a generated answer conveniently without having to trawl several links. you get no ad revenue if you get no clicks

on the content side of things i don't think people will notice

very true, in my experience it's been hard to keep up by hand and much faster to type, but like handwritten notes i rarely reference meeting or project notes so i put little effort into organization. i settled on using onenote and different tabs for different teams

he's a big yarvin (mencius moldbug) guy, he's read entries from the gray mirror (yarvin's substack) on stream. people who were into nrx (neo-reactionary) figures like yarvin and bronze age pervert (see: bronze age mindset quote in the op) pivoted to a religious slant, taking up catholicism or orthodox christianity in the last couple years for what seems to be aesthetic reasons and/or resentment of the general state of things

this is just my perspective as a passive observer trying to be objective as best i can, so take all of this as you will (and at the same time who am i to question their faith? how can i know that george hotz wasn't actively religious prior to recent broader developments?)

ethereum is a political system, it exists to recreate the present arrangement with dlt and the extra niceties that it gives those in power. excuse the paranoia. anyway, definitely an achievement in my book

the only thing i don't like about cyclists (online, key distinction) is their insistence to group bikers/pedestrians together as some sort of coalition when lobbying solely for their own cause
