Ask HN: What important resources can't be found on the internet?

What do you mean by important? Important to whom? Important to what end?

If you're looking at what's important to get you through your next day, week, year, or decade -- which seems like a practical definition -- the important "resources" are mostly intangible insights and details about the individual people in your life and the specific facts about your community and your neighborhood.

I can't guess how much of that can be found on the internet for you, but for me, it's almost none. It's all inside my memory and outside for me to find through direct exploration and conversation. The best the internet can offer towards any of that, usually, is something like a business's phone number or whether they make tacos; or maybe a bus schedule. Not so important at all, really.

I one form or the other I believe there is everything, just burried under piles of crap. Nowadays search engines are just broken, they don't find anything.

There are couple of things I couldn't find recently. Maybe couple business ideas for ya.

1. How to stop procrastinating instantly and easily, maybe it should be an app? 2. Everything in one torrent. (You just click, 500GB downloading and done) What if you're planning 100 years trip to another star. Or what if you're trying to start the civilization from the beggining? It should have at least wiki 100gb + llm + couple of books + offline maps etc

Try and live without a 6 figure tech salary and you will find that almost none of the resources you need to survive can be found on the internet.

The secret to life and happiness.

I'd say it is a paradox to ask this question on an Internet forum.. :)

One can't search by smell.
