I took an intro to philosophy class, and it was a big revelation. I thought it would just be an easy GUR, but it ended up being somewhat life-changing. First few weeks of the class were all about basic boolean logic.

Me and other scholars like @pawz like to get our history from thick 800 to 1000 page Chernow authored bios.
Learning history from hip hop Broadway? GTFOH!
I happily saw the musical, which I enjoyed, and was thrilled it’s served as a “gateway drug” for many young people and got them interested in the subject again.
Sadly in this era of misinformation and overemphasis on STEM, fields vital to our society like history, civics, and philosophy need the FREE PUB!
I'm not going to go as far as saying that a philosophy degree is useful in 2024, but I will say that not teaching basic logic to, say, middle-schoolers is perhaps the biggest failing of the education system in our country. Not teaching kids how easy it is to manipulate people with logic has to be the biggest contributor to the negative aspects of society that I can think of.
I couldn't agree more. I tell anyone who will listen modern education is about 'memorize and regurgitate' as opposed to thinking about what they are seeing/reading/watching. There is zero interest in teaching kids HOW to think.
Apply that reality to what gets fed to them via legacy news sources - regardless a preferred side of the aisle. So many go-along, get-along morons today. Far more than ever before. It's how people in power keep and maintain control. A generation of worthless puppets. Sad, really.

Currently reading Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson. While the size of an aforementioned 'door-stop' books, it's not nearly a dense as his other works. I'm half-way through it in a week.
Isaacson's Ben Franklin and Einstein were both seminal tomes.

Now I want to re-watch the “John Adams” HBO series again. Tom Wilkinson, who just passed away, did a phenomenal job playing Franklin. -

Yes! I’m in no way saying that people should be majoring in philosophy, but taking a free course on it via Khan Academy or even watching the series “The Good Place” (a comedy that delves into moral philosophy) is a GOOD thing because that curriculum was completely gutted by most places. It’s the study of knowledge and the meaning of life for fuck sake, and that’s where everything should start.1to392831weretaken said:

I guess to circle back to Hamilton (we still haven’t found that extra ticket for @PurpleBaze BTW), it just sucks that it takes a hip-hop musical to make learning/our? past interesting or cool.
But I’m a big fucking nerd, and tore through that Chernow book in a weekend.
