One crucial activity for me is listening to audiobooks while driving. I used to hate driving, but now I'm just a student in a car!
A fact about audiobooks is that they only go to such depth. I cannot find a better course than "the origins of the human mind" on evolutionary psychology. For my areas of expertise (Evo Psy, Pos Psy, Evolution, and Philosophy) there is nothing audiobooks can give me anymore. So I'm learning linguistics, economics and Anthropology.
My question to fellow less wrongers is: There is widespread rumor that the free days of finding good books, audiobooks, movies, and music on the internet are counted. Should we download Loads of good material, and keep it safe?
I was not aware of this rumor. How did you come to the conclusion it is widespread, and why do you think it's worth taking seriously?
Several P2P websites were taken down, some, like piratebay, had to change location. Most important I think is that the old Gigapedia, which became Library.nu went down. It probably had the best books online. Things are scattering now. It is widespread in Brazil where I live (though websites are down everywhere). I also noted it on the SI fellows list. I think it is a cheap time effort investment to take it seriously.
