Yeah, #marginalia and #notes looks to me like a dialogue between the reader and the text and the author.. and in this case, multiple readers as well.

Annotated allow the reader of the to enter the mind of the writer. It adds another layer of understanding to the text. I suppose they are like the note writer's 'fingerprints' all over the .

@bibliolater @bookstodon a dear, elderly friend of mine downsized his bookshelves, and I received many of his books.

One of my favorites was a book that I also had loved and had marked heavily, and I was able to compare to his copy, heavily noted and highlighted. It’s a precious thing to see.

@bibliolater @PaulWermer I don't think there's a blanket solution, and it's difficult to sustain the salience of climate change, given all the (mostly more immediate) problems people face in their lives.

One area that's come up in my research is that people who don't feel like they can do much about climate change are unlikely to see it as high salience. So increasing people's efficacy about climate change could potentially help.

The hidden risk of letting AI decide – losing the skills to choose for ourselves

"Making thoughtful and defensible decisions requires practice and self-discipline. And this is where the hidden harm that AI exposes people to comes in: AI does most of its “thinking” behind the scenes and presents users with answers that are stripped of context and deliberation."
