Whether it’s a form of note-taking or regular repetition or the like, what are some self-education techniques and tools you’ve developed to help yourself learn on your own?

It’s always interesting imo to read about how some folks teach themselves different stuff.

Amazon is a union busting company. They abuse their employees, they underpay them, they’ve taken advantage of communities they have distribution centres in, etc etc etc.

How can you be on the internet and not know the issues behind Amazon as a company…?

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Everything you buy and consume in some way shape or form is going to exploitation.

This type of attitude is a distraction from actual change. Similar to individuals telling others to lower their carbon footprint. Fact is, until the people who actually run the world decide to change - nothing is going to happen.

“Carbon footprint” was a genius PR campaign by BP. Take away blame from companies and government’s lack of regulation and put it on individuals.

A regular working class person is going to purchase the cheapest and most convenient product. Don’t blame them and instead focus your ire on the people actually responsible.

Nah, I’ll continue to tell people to stop using Amazon. Absolving yourself of any of the responsibility is bullshit. If nobody uses Amazon, they stop existing. (I understand that they make most of their money via AWS, not the point). It’s very much within our power to change things. Laying down and taking it because we need the people who run the world to change things is pathetic.

While that’s true I would still watch out on buying books on amazon anyways cause people have been pointing out there are books written by AI on there and might actually be useless.
