In this episode, Ida speaks with Andrew Hui about ruins and monuments functioning as collective memory. They discuss fragments, aphorisms, and humanity’s attempt at collective intelligence through the universal library. They also talk about how classifying knowledge means shaping the world, the pursuit of knowledge as a way to build identity, and what it means to read (and what it means to read too much).
