    1. level 2A_Dull_SignificanceOp · 2 hr. agoYes! When I run across a comment on a book I haven’t read yet but seems interesting I make a little card with the comment and book title2ReplyGive AwardShareReportSaveFollowlevel 2taurusnoises · 2 hr. agoObsidianSo, you keep the titles of books you want to read organized in folgezettel (you give them an alphanumeric ID?) among your ZK notes? That's really interesting!

      I've done something like this when I think a particular reference(s) can answer a question related to a train of thought. But I keep cards of unread sources at the front of my sources section so that it's easier to pull it out frequently to prioritize and decide what I should be reading or working on next. These will then have links to the open questions I've noted, so that I can go back to those sections either as I'm reading/writing or to add those ideas into the appropriate folgezettel. These sorts of small amounts of work documented briefly can add up quickly over time. Source cards with indications of multiple open questions that might be answered is sometimes a good measure of desire to read, though other factors can also be at play.

      That to-read pile of bibliographic source notes (a mini antilibrary) is akin to walking into a party and surveying a room. I may be aware of some of the people I haven't met yet and the conversations we might have, but if there are interesting questions I know I want to ask of specific ones or conversations I already know I want to have, it can be more productive to visit those first.

      This sort of practice has been particularly helpful for times when I want to double check someone's sources or an original context, but don't have the time to do it immediately, don't want to break another extended train of thought, have to wait on materials, or may have to make a trip to consult physical materials that are singular or rare. For quick consultative reading, this can be a boon when I know I don't want or need to read an entire work, but skimming a chapter or a few pages for a close reading of a particular passage. I'll often keep a pile of these sorts of sources at hand so that I can make a short trip to a library, pick them up, find what I need and move on without having to recreate large portions of context to get the thing done because I've already laid most of the groundwork.

    1. More detailed work in the history of reading has cast aside the strict periodization and the suddenness of change implied in the notion of a “reading revolution.”215 Rather than sudden shifts, I trace the development and spread of new methods of reading along-side the continuation of older options. Consultation reading existed among the learned in earlier centuries, and in an unbroken line of transmission at least as far back as the thirteenth century, so the most distinctively new kind of reading in the eighteenth century was not consultation reading but rather engrossment in the novels that were a new and successful genre. Conversely, “intensive reading,” classically identified with repetitive meditation on the Bible, was also practiced in the eighteenth century, in religious circles at least, for example, among Pi-etists, Methodists, and in Catholic religious orders. (Witness the 1786 publica-tion of Sacchini’s recommendation for intensive reading, which I discuss in the next chapter.) Proficient readers engaged in different kinds of reading depending on the text and their purpose in reading it.

      Broad forms of reading: - consultation reading - intensive reading (meditation, religious) - entertainment reading (novels)

    1. est également possible de réduire les émissions et la consommation d’énergies non renou-velables en Suisse en diminuant la production indigène et en augmentant les importations. Agir de la sorte est approprié si l’empreinte écologique d’un produit agricole importé est infé-rieure à celle du produit indigène correspondant et si la capacité de charge écologique sur le lieu de production n’est pas dépassée.

      attention à la justification pour l'ouverture des frontières en cas de négociation d'accords bilatéraux!

    2. Les atteintes à l’environnement causées par l’agriculture sont réduites. Sont avant tout con-cernés les émissions d’azote et de phosphore, les gaz à effet de serre, les produits phytosa-nitaires et les antibiotiques. Il faut tenir compte de la capacité de charge géospécifique (rési-lience) des écosystèmes dans le cas des autres émissions également.

      Enfin une phrase qui cerne le problème et ne noircit pas le tableau. Elle est en contradiction avec l'état des lieux des premiers chapitre.

    3. Elle vérifie en outre si les capacités de transmission de données existantes sont suffisantes pour l’utilisation de ces technologies ou s’il s’impose de développer lesdites capacités par analogie à d’autres infrastructures de base.

      vérifier la compréhension de cette phrase. Est-ce la 5G dans tout le pays?

    4. l’État s’est de plus en plus retiré du marché en concentrant son action sur les paiements directs découplés de la production, une direction qui sera gardée

      évolution contraire au recouplage des paiements directs dans l'UE

    5. Le Conseil fédéral demeure de l’avis qu’une plus forte interconnexion des marchés agroalimentaires suisses et européens est judicieuse. De son côté, l’UE a manifesté à plusieurs reprises son intérêt à poursuivre les négociations.

      position ouverture des marchés, restreintes à l'UE

    6. Suite à l’approbation du Message sur la promotion économique pour les années 2016 à 2019, le Conseil fédéral a fixé l’orientation de la politique régionale et touristique. Ces deux politiques accordent une importance fondamentale à la promotion de l’innovation.

      Un peu maigre au niveau d'une politique publique de l'innovation

    1. Croesus found the opportunity to say, “My Athenian guest, we have heard a lot about you because of your wisdom and of your wanderings, how as one who loves learning you have traveled much of the world for the sake of seeing it, so now I desire to ask you who is the most fortunate man you have seen.”

      1.30. Croesus asks Solon who the most fortunate man he has seen is, expecting the answer to be "You, Croesus".

    2. “Yes, I do command them, so that you may perish all the sooner for your impiety, and never again come to inquire of my oracle about giving up those that seek refuge with you.”

      1.159 Aristodikos the Cymean re-asks the Oracle at Branchidai about Pactyes and receives a direct response the god. This direct contact with the divine is a rarity in Herodotus's histories. In the conversation between the god and Aristodikos, the god reprimands Aristodikos for questioning the divine in a "how dare you even ask that question" fashion.

    3. . “Since the gods have made me your slave,” replied the Lydian, “it is right that if I have any further insight I should point it out to you.

      1.88 Cyrus makes Croesus his royal advisor, consulting him on points of conquest and statecraft. Croesus, as a conquered royal, doesn't seem to resent this lower position. Herodotus portrays him as placid and serviceable in his new vocation: living to serve the rule of Cyrus as he takes over the former Median kingdom and its neighbors.
