@pmarca You like reading this stuff?
@pmarca It doesn't feel vital to me to have old books with vicious racist abuse in them. But if you feel it necessary to keep looking back at old books and giggling at the "swears" go right ahead. Fleming's old books are a few bucks at charity stores because people stopped reading them
@pmarca Get a good set of old encyclopedias. Also get dictionaries, maps, etc. You cannot rely upon information solely from modern sources.
@pmarca If you think the James Bond books shouldn't be edited to remove the N-word and other slurs, to "preserve" our past but you also argue that CRT shouldn't be taught in schools, the that tells me all I need to know about you.
@pmarca @_BarringtonII Don't forget about the Internet archive.org "Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more."
