12:04 AM

Okay, how about this @bjb: the time I have spent reading and talking and most things not relating to technology has made me a better human and allowed me to help others a lot. The time I have spent with technology has made me better with technology, given me a possible career choice, and perhaps allowed me to help others a little. Which is more important?

bjb568

They are both things that you should do.

hichris123

Perhaps, but what comes first?

bjb568

And your anecdotal evidence does not let us draw a conclusion about the behavior of all humans.

@hichris123 Depends on what order you prefer them to be in.

Santa Claus

@bjb568 Is there a list of schools that have participated? (I'm interested if there are any schools up towards Dayton that are doing it)

hichris123

@bjb568 No, but read books by Dickens. Or Shakespear. Or almost any famous classical author. They each tell us something about being human.

@hichris123 No, they do not. They offer a reading experience that has the potential to be beneficial.

bjb568

Ok, my bot probably won't do that again.

hichris123

@bjb568 I think there's a specific, unambiguous, able-to-be-supported word for that statement: pedantic. It's a generic idea that you can apply to all (well, almost all) authors. Because they either want us to believe something, or want to teach us something about being human. Or perhaps a few other things, but those are usually more specific.

Okay, last one that needs a close vote: stackoverflow.com/questions/27345642/…

Thanks @Kevin @HoboSapiens.

bjb568

@hichris123 There's a difference between "I like to read" and "All books give us a lesson, a missing piece of us that makes us human, they are the blood of civilization…"

coz the latter is meaningless crap

hichris123

@bjb568 The former is a thought, the latter is a universal truth.

except for the last bit, but...

bjb568

There is no such thing as a universal truth.

Yes, it most certainly does.

I mean, suppose I say "Books can teach humans something". I can't prove it. But I'm positive that books can teach humans something.

bjb568

Can teach what humans what?

You can't prove a weak statement, sure.

hichris123

That's not the point.....

Frank

@bjb568 I can.

BAM!

(jk)

bjb568

@hichris123 You don't have a point.

You have an idea in your head, right?

You think you know how the universe works.

That involves books, and humans.

You are trying to convince me that your idea is correct.

The problem is you don't know what your own idea is, you cannot communicate it, I don't know what your idea is, and there is nothing that can support your idea.

With this situation, you're not going to be able to convince me.

hichris123

@bjb568 You've completely missed the point, then.

bjb568

I mean a very small part of the universe. A simple truth.

Every part of the statement is subjective and none of it can be argued.

It's extremely vague.

In what way, under what circumstances do which books offer greater benefit to whom than what kind of coding?

hichris123

Subjective, yes, but I think we can come to a conclusion. All of this is my opinion of course, but I think someone could publish a paper on it.
