The you of today has access to much more, via the internet and now AI.
The problem is sorting the wheat from the chaff, politically biased material, and a framework for methodically learning given the ocean of available information.
I hope we solve it.
- bsder 1y ago> The you of today has access to much more, via the internet and now AI. Adult me does. But if I were a poor child today, would I really have access to much more? I'm not convinced. As a better recent example, I was trying to figure out how jeweler's used to historically do threads on screws for watches. I had to run down a copy of "Practical Benchwork for Horologists" and eventually had to buy it, sight unseen since the libraries I had access to couldn't cough it up. For people in the future, apparently there has been a paperback reprint of it. Answering my question about threads: the book devotes a bunch of pages to showing how to build a power feed for your jeweler's lathe.
