Jon Sullivan<p>Here are another couple of pages from the Harmsworth Self-Educator books.

Jon Sullivan<p>Are you wary of the Internet and its surveillance advertising and AI slop? Perhaps try The Harmsworth Self-Educator.</p><p>My Dad gave his father's copy to my daughter. From 1905 England, it covers many eclectic topics:<br>&gt; what to do in a week in Norway<br>&gt; how to make a skirt<br>&gt; the plants of the farm<br>&gt; colours to be avoided when painting<br>&gt; the dangers of training in foreign schools<br>&gt; the World's Great Men (such as Cleopatra and Marie Curie)</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/harmsworthselfed01meeauoft/harmsworthselfed01meeauoft/page/n5/mode/2up?view=theater" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/harmsworth</span><span class="invisible">selfed01meeauoft/harmsworthselfed01meeauoft/page/n5/mode/2up?view=theater</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/encyclopaedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encyclopaedia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/OldSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldSchool</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a></p>

Strypey<p>I just gave Wikipedia $10. From memory, it's the first time I've donated. So that's roughly 50 cents for each year I've been making regular use of it. Good deal.</p><p>In my defence, I have contributed to Wikipedia many times over the years, editing articles and even starting some, like the fediverse article.</p><p>Just as a contrast, in 2012 Stephen J. Dubner paid $1600 for a set of the last printed encyclopaedia that Britannica produced: <br><a href="https://freakonomics.com/2012/04/yes-i-just-paid-1600-for-a-set-of-encyclopaedia-britannica/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">freakonomics.com/2012/04/yes-i</span><span class="invisible">-just-paid-1600-for-a-set-of-encyclopaedia-britannica/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/encyclopaedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encyclopaedia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/Britannica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Britannica</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a></p>
