Glad to see you talking about Vervaeke, Leo. I'm currently going through his After Socrates series and it's quite good too. A nice rounding out of Awakening that gets more into the practical side of things while offering some more theory. I'm surprised you haven't interacted more with the metamodern/liminal web.

I have not seen that. Will have to take a look. Thanks!

Regarding the two books on meaningness.com and metarationality.com does anyone know a way to compile the entire book into a single document? It's quite a pain and completly breaks my flow having to read one short excerpt at a time and having to reload a new webpage after each short read. Thank you in advanced.

Stop being lazy and READ! You are complaining about having to click a button.

It's mainly a preference for having everything in one unified format - useful for loading onto a Kindle or smartphone. Besides, the content is stored locally. To me, the current method feels a bit clunky. I think I downloaded the website with HTTrack a bunch of years ago. 

Now I just simply have to sort through hundreds of HTML files.

I agree with you here. I have both Kobo ereader or I load documents and websites into ElevenLabs for Audiobooks. Leo is also right that I'm being lazy about it. But yeah if someone knows a way please share with us, for now I shall continue loading webpage after webpage.

@UnbornTao @LoneWonderer Yep and yep - I prefer reading on kindle in the outdoors for subjects such as these.

I wonder if @AION can assist - he is excellent at this.

Currently on ep 45 of AFTMC, almost done with part one of metarationalism.com and wont watch the new episode until I finish it.

You are too pessimistic with these percentages @Leo Gura Life is uncertain. probabilities don’t work!

And I prefer to have all my philosophy whispered in my ear by a naked girl.

But alas, this work don't come the easy way.

Hey @Leo Gura

If I finished the Vervaeke series 5 years ago, do I get extra credit? Or is time relative?

Guys, it's up to you to decide the order of consumption of something, not Leo's.

Obviously you should consume the content however you want.

I just make generic suggestions for those without a plan.

I will:

1. Read those websites over the next 12 months (Metarationality and Meaningfulness)

2. watch that video series from

https://www.actualized.org/insights/john-vervaekes-lecture-series

3. also do the reading of Wikipedia for the emotions you posted a long time ago

Yeah like a Book? What’s with having it as a website
