thoth

You write a single Thoth program and the compiler output a Node.js server and a React client app.

The style, colors and angular shapes of the Thoth Tarot have made it my favorite for 30 years.

Ever hear of the curse of Thoth in relation to Plato on the merit of writing?

Elsewhere in the book it states that the Ancient Egyptians traveled to America, which is why Thoth has a presence there.

It would take a long time to repeat all that Thamus said to Thoth in praise or blame of the various arts.

If you follow [3], yes, even learning to read and write is a form of learned helplessness, as Thoth and Socrates conclude.

I built a DSL called Thoth using OCaml that lets you build web apps as a single mono-linguistic program.

So I built Thoth - a local‑first AI assistant designed for personal AI independence.

> She has also done work on religion,[57] and has argued that Stalin was a god of science, and an incarnation both of the god Thoth and the Christian God.

According to the story told by Socrates in that dialogue, King Thamus received from the god Thoth the knowledge of writing, but decided not to use it too often, as he reckoned this will damage the ability to remember extensively.

It's also a bird; in ancient Egyptian mythology, Thoth had head of an ibis and was the god of writing, wisdom, knowledge, art, science, etc.

> She has also done work on religion,[57] and has argued that Stalin was a god of science, and an incarnation both of the god Thoth and the Christian God.[58] Idk but this sounds so sus that I don't believe her with anything.

Some might say that is "the curse of Thoth"

The Ancient Egyptian god Thoth invented writing and presented it to the King: "This invention, O king," said Thoth, "will make the Egyptians wiser and will improve their memories; for it is an elixir of memory and wisdom that I have discovered." The king replied: "This invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory.

Thoth and Socrates know a hell of a lot more than you ever did, to be frank.

Maybe kinda pedantic but, this is not Plato/Socrates saying this here, but Socrates telling Phaedrus what King Thamus said to Thoth.

Thamus replied: O most ingenious Thoth, the parent or inventor of an art is not always the best judge of the utility or inutility of his own inventions to the users of them.
