2. Though I just jot down notes quick on my old firetablet using notally, when it eventually dies I’ll just use obsidian on a laptop. If its super dense theory I’m unfamiliar with I try to write some reflection or rehash every page or so even though its slow, its its very unfamiliar maybe even once a paragraph. If its just standard theory maybe a summary in my own words/thoughts a chapter or so. If its just a refresher I may just do option 1 and only type down the most novel observations.

I can’t afford physical books, so I’ve always been a note and write down the page sort, it worked in college, so it should work for theory just fine.

It helps to have some structured guide into Hegel, like a class or book club or something, otherwise Losurdo, Stalin’s diamat and hismat, or Engel’s Anti-Duhring are all good places to read first then go back to the OG.

I’ve had luck with both a calc class irl and especially a rando mysticism class I took on coursera having some discussion on Hegel’s dialectics and if you started the synthesis-thesis-antithesis around those professors they’d have meltdowns about Fichte to the point of booting students.

Get to wear boots too, if I did that in summer my boots would be sliding all shift at work.

RL has been like that for a while
