All the books I finished in February #StoryGraph #diversifyyourbookshelf
"Is the appeal from a numerous-minded despot to a smaller, privileged group ... to remedy matters permanently? Shall we step backwards 1,000 years because our present problem is baffling?" p 168, Darkwater by W.E.B DuBois
With all of the big announcements about AI-facilitated scientific research, like OpenAI's Deep Research and Google's AI co-scientist, it appears as though our thinky-piece on AI in the research process might be worth a re-read: www.frontiersin.org/journals/soc...
"Actually, if βunderdevelopmentβ were related to anything other than comparing economies, then the most underdeveloped country in the world would be the United States ... while internally there is a blend of exploitation, brutality, and psychiatric disorder." pg 84
In an effort to diversify my reading, currently working through Walter Rodney's "How Europe Undeveloped Africa" which while in the early 1970s seems relevant to the moment unfortunately.
Anyone else on StoryGraph? Reading is currently one of my primary coping mechanism at the moment.
