Philosopheril··on Show HN: Alexandria, a New Way to Read the Classics
I loved how my conversation about Lord Byron's Don Juan morphed into a discussion about the history of psychological realism. And I also learned, oddly, that William James, wrote in his letters about applying pragmatist lessons to fatherhood. I had no idea. Great conversations go to unexpected places. And AI is uniquely positioned to deliver on that.

A stunning article that weaves Alexander with Montessori and Whitehead. But answer me this, how can you prove reductionism is wrong? Maybe AGI will prove these thinkers' irrelevance? How do you counter?
