I like this being read these books on streams which get saved into videos on RUclips, I have huge issues reading as I can barely keep focus enough to even get through one page. I used to be able to power through books but as of age 16 I haven't been able to read anything. So these kinds of videos and streams are really appreciated
I struggle in exactly the same way! That's why I find it so useful to read to others to motivate me, and I get to have great convos and explore my thoughts abt them too! - Nat
@@protect_trans_lives I think we learn through education and commodification and competition of learning that aims to separate us for different kinds of work (and condition us to believe that it is all we are capable of and all we deserve) that it should be a solo pursuit that marks and defines our intelligence and quality as a person but I've learned so much more from reading together with others and just having conversations with people about what they're reading, watching, doing. It's fun and good and lets u really expand ur understanding in a much greater way that's bigger than the text itself or what one person can bring to it. Reading groups rule anyway, I love em! - Nat
I found myself super into audio books. I went from 0 books a year to 50+, it's incredible. I just have an audio book running while I'm playing something not too talk intensive on the computer.
Oh snap I actually read this book because Sophie recommended it a while ago. I also I found a critique of the book, and I wasn’t equipped to make judgements about how convincing the arguments were, but it was interesting. I don’t have time now but I’ll definitely need to listen to this stream.
Thanks for talking about Malm’s Fossil Capital; I hadn’t known that overproduction specifically had been so important in motivating the replacement of workers by automation. I may be misremembering, but while reading Benanav’s book I didn’t realize there were historical situations like that, which so clearly parallel the current-day situation he describes.
This is just furthering my personal conspiracy theory that "Nat" is actually short for "national treasure"
I love the posh voice, thank you Nat!
whoa its nat shes so cool
That was lovely, adorable, and informative! Thank you Nat!
