As mentioned yesterday, I re-read the comments on Have you considered getting rid of death? and added what was recommended to my knowledge intake system. I believe I’d benefit from working methodically through a textbook while reading another more foundational conceptual book so to those ends I suspect the first two books I read specifically for increasing my Biology knowledge are:
If I notice significant gaps in my knowledge or struggle too much with either of those, I will try more introductory Biology related books.
My reading material tomorrow is to review and add to my knowledge intake system the reading list & recommendations from Richard & Michael’s podcast episode Xenogenesis—Ageing and Immortality Special.
I use a clipboard manager at work (the built in Windows one, “clipboard history”) and spent 5 minutes searching for a macOS equivalent because that’s really useful functionality to go without, and I want it for my home or non-current job productive use cases too! I’m using Maccy because it’s open source and it’s pretty.
Shortform #133 Knowledge Intake
