In exchange for an axe, which could be built, you would let all the knowledge in a book be forgotten forever. You must be trolling because otherwise I don't recognize you, is that you NatΓ‘lia? π
I was thinking long term π documenting all the experience for later generations to learn from.
but it seems a copper pot is more practical! what a good thought experiment!

In the beginning, there was no paper or pens. You would have to pass on knowledge by word of mouth. And, not to belittle you because I don't know you, your knowledge must be inferior to what a book has. Or don't you think so?
reply
Even that is inferior, you can learn, just by observing. But until then, you need a tool. Without a tool, you are dead in few days or even eaten by a large animal because you cannot defend yourself.
Or @Lux is coming and kill you for the book.

I see your point, which is the same as Natalia's. Screw the knowledge that would be lost... I get it π

This is how knowledge slips away. Think about it: what if you were gone in three days?

I see where you're coming from π
Will be really fun to see this scenario. I will just laugh, looking to 0xbitcoiner how he struggle to read that plants book and wondering around looking for the exact plant in the forest LOL
Meanwhile we have a nice meal and drinking beer under a roof.

You and Natalia are looking at things in the short term, I'm more of a hodler π

knowledge is what you learn doing real stuff not reading in books.
Books are good, yes, but NOT in this extreme situation.

haha, maybe we are meant to learn things by ourselves, but having the opportunity to learn from others is like standing on the giants' shoulders, not a must, indeed.
I also like to play around and learn things myself, okay being able to learn from others is nice, but then it's also taking away the fun to figure things out.

Please answer yes or no. Wouldn't it be better to have access to the centuries of knowledge contained within a book?

no, it's only good when you are relaxed and chill mode, so reading the books to learn things slowly; But under extreme situations, you might want to be more practical.

It seems like we have different perspectives on this. You're taking a short-term view, while I'm focused on the long-term. This is similar to the different approaches to Bitcoin - some people trade it for short-term profits, while others see it as a long-term store of value.
