        The notebook is all your own effort at least, there is a direct line between the synapses and the connections you are making there in your mind to the output of the words in a note.

        Using AI has none of that. Typing a prompt on whim and having the box work things out for you is going to lead to early onset dementia or something, it’s got to be atrophying peoples minds

          I feel like I’ve already got that going on with pre-AI google. Having a magic box in my pocket I can use to automatically find the answer to pretty much any question is definitely a disincentive to remembering. Unlimited Butlerian jihad on search engines.

        And so it is that you by reason of your tender regard for the writing that is your offspring have declared the very opposite of its true effect. If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls. They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks.

        Sorry, Plato is calling you out.

      their lack–and hatred–of awe is breathtaking in its own right.

      in early days of mcsweeney’s, there was a writer (i wish i could remember his name) who had a recurring series documenting how past cultures adapted their metaphorical understanding of the human brain and consciousness based on the most important component of their economy. in an agrarian society, our thoughts were blossoms blooming from our tree brain. mercantilism and smithing meant our brains were now forges hammering out pure ideas. after the industrial revolution, voila–we’re thinking machines gearing up notions at scale.

      in almost every case, it was a sign of someone running away from any greater potential of human creativity. they crave to be caged. these dipshits are no different.
