  3. Also... the history of Alder's (and then with van Doren) on this book and the process of reading needs wider treatment by someone like you.

  4. Useful cross over to your vids on note making as you read... but with the MA/CvD's terminology formalized on top. And yes syntropic reads - are hard and a pain in the arse - especially for a new area of detail and depth to you. Kołakowski aside, I was thinking of the sub-topics of say Climate collapse, into the history of the political of denial, the science of the various cycles involved, the feedbacks and there movements 'off' their natural cycles, the interdependace of food security, etc., etc. Going from one book - say "Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction" by Mark Maslin, to working through the works of Raworth, Hickle, Hansen, Lipsky, Hayhoe, Cook, Oreskes & Conway. Excellent vid, nicely captured, and your verbal and screen titles (nice typography - Skillshare worked) brain fart typos aside, one of your best... although the topic maybe bring out a bias in me. : ))))
