    3. Mass attendance was half of what it had been twenty years earlier.A nationwide census of church attendance conducted every ten yearsfrom 1979 revealed that in that year between eleven and twelve outof every hundred people went to church on an average Sunday. Tenyears later the number had fallen to just under ten and by the end ofthe century only 7.5 per cent of the population was in church on anyone Sunday
    4. remained common for parents who did not go to church to sendtheir children to Sunday school.

      While adults had seen religious participation decline through reduced church attendce, many still sent their children to Sunday Schools - religious teaching was viewed as vital for the young (teach up a child proverb), but not as neccisary for adults who had already learned this teaching.

    5. his was partly because, unlike Protestants, Catholicsbenefited from high levels of immigration. The number of Irish peoplecoming to live in England, which had dwindled between the 1860sand the 1920s, began to mount again in the 1930s and escalatedin the 1950s. There were also immigrants from continental Europe

    8. n 1915 a chaplain recorded a conversation with an adjutant who‘had been an acolyte in a spiky church for six years, and at the time be-lieved everything and found the greatest comfort in the Church. Nowhe finds that he cannot honestly believe anything he was taught.’ Itwas, the chaplain added, ‘such a common story’. Army service consti-tuted a major dislocation in men’s lives and some who had previouslyattended church servicesordevotional meetingsdid not re-establis

    9. The chaplains’ report, The Army and Religion, produced in 1919,revealed that most of the men who went to the trenches had little timefor institutional religion or formal worship. Others who had been regu-lar churchgoers lost their faith as a result of their wartime experiences.

      SLAY SLAY SLAYYY shows the impact of the war on men for religion

    10. FirstWorld War chaplains who compiled a report on The Army and Religionestimated that four out of every five soldiers had attended Sundayschool. The only books in many working-class homes were a handfulof religious novels awarded as Sunday school prizes. Parents who hadthemselves been to Sunday school taught their children to say theirprayers and to recite grace before meals.

    11. recent years, however, new insighthas been gained into popular attitudes from interviews with elderlypeople about their childhood memories. This ‘oral history’ revealsthat non-churchgoers often had their own understanding of Christianfaith and observance which differed from that of the clergy. Parentsassumed that the act of presenting their children for baptism showedthat they believed in God and was proof that they were taking their re-ligious responsibilities seriously.

      shows how people didn't agree with the church, but did belive in God, so they had their child baptised to show responsibility, but wished to bring up the child in their own faith

    1. The idea is related in spirit to Vannevar Bush's Memex (1945) — a personal, curated knowledge store with associative trails between documents. The part he couldn't solve was who does the maintenance. The LLM handles that.

      【启发】Karpathy 把 LLM Wiki 定位为 1945 年 Memex 愿景的实现——80 年前 Vannevar Bush 描述了「个人知识存储与关联路径」的理想,唯一未解的问题是「谁来维护」。LLM 解决了这最后一块拼图。这个历史视角的启发是:很多「未来技术」其实早已有完整的概念框架,缺的只是执行层的突破。识别这类「概念成熟但执行缺位」的领域,是找到 AI 最有价值应用场景的方法论。

    1. In November 1945, three months after the atomic bombings,Oppenheimer stood firmly behind the scientific attitude, saying, “It isnot possible to be a scientist unless you believe that the knowledge ofthe world, and the power which this gives, is a thing which is of in-trinsic value to humanity, and that you are using it to help in the spreadof knowledge and are willing to take the consequences.”

    1. There will always be plenty of things to compute in the detailed affairs of millions of people doing complicated things.

      Who will perform those computations? Those in power presumably?

    2. The lawyer has at his touch the associated opinions and decisions of his whole experience, and of the experience of friends and authorities.

      So it's not just limited to the individual, but you can see other people's trails. It is social. This seems like a key insight as well.

    3. It consists of a desk, and while it can presumably be operated from a distance, it is primarily the piece of furniture at which he works. On the top are slanting translucent screens, on which material can be projected for convenient reading. There is a keyboard, and sets of buttons and levers. Otherwise it looks like an ordinary desk.

      Not a bad user story, all things considered.

    4. Whenever logical processes of thought are employed—that is, whenever thought for a time runs along an accepted groove—there is an opportunity for the machine.

      The use of logic here is also interesting. Is knowledge actually grounded in logic? Didn't Wittgenstein free us of this delusion?

    5. Today, with microfilm, reductions by a linear factor of 20 can be employed and still produce full clarity when the material is re-enlarged for examination.

      Is it even possible to think what this factor is for today's digital storage technologies?

    6. A record if it is to be useful to science, must be continuously extended, it must be stored, and above all it must be consulted.

      Valuable ideas often appear before they are viable. But they must be discoverable when the environment changes in ways that make the idea more tractable.

    7. publication has been extended far beyond our present ability to make real use of the record

      This makes me wonder if that's where we still are. Connecting documents/information with people when they need it is still a huge challenge. Although being able to go to Google to ask a question on your phone is a huge advantage for those who have questions that are amenable and the device to ask it.
