1) Quando eu faço um resgate de dez dólares na Coupert, eu geralmente eu tenho na minha carteira da Amazon Americana uma sobra de $ 2,00 a 5,00, oriunda de um resgate anterior.
2) Nesta atual operação de resgate que eu vou fazer em breve, eu posso resgatar um livro até o valor de $ 12,71 - para que me sobre uma margem confortável para um resgate futuro, estou considerando resgatar um livro que esteja na faixa entre 5 ou 6 dólares, sendo que esse preço combina o custo do livro e o frete. A entrega, nesta fase, será feita no Armazém do Ship 7 em Bear, no Delaware.
3) Uma vez que o livro chega ao armazém, aí eu começo a executar a segunda fase, que é trazê-lo para o Brasil - e neste caso eu uso um crédito pré-pago de $ 35,00 para remeter a encomenda para o Brasil.
4) Quando o livro chega ao Brasil, ele fica na biblioteca e espera sua vez de ser digitalizado, enquanto as despesas em dólar são convertidas em real de modo a serem autopagas através da poupança. Depois de haver digitalizado o livro e haver feito a dívida do livro se autopagar através da poupança, o próximo passo é achar um sucessor deste meu bem a título singular que modo que esta possa fazer bom proveito deste livro importado, já que agora um tenho livro digital e o meu investimento está preservado, nessa digitalização que eu fiz para meu próprio uso.
5) Vender livro não é como vender banana na feira - pelos assuntos que estão nele documentados e pela importância que eles têm em si mesmos, você precisa encontrar bons sucessores que estejam dispostos a honrar o seu legado a título singular - e isto cria uma relação de lealdade entre quem entrega um bem e quem o recebe, a ponto de virar tradição (algo bem mais profundo do que a mera entrega da coisa, como se pensa no Direito). E durante as sucessivas passagens de mãos, uma história à parte pode ser contada aí, a ponto de virar memória - eis a beleza do mercado de segunda mão, onde costumo atuar, na qualidade de livreiro.

Nota de experiência - da importância de se planejar uma faixa de preço hoje de modo que a compra futura seja em condições ainda mais vantajosas, tão logo seja possível comprar novamente
Nota de experiência - sobre as diferentes estratégias de compra de livro que adoto tanto na Amazon quanto na Abebooks
2) Na Abebooks, eu recebo cashback via Coupert - por conta disso, a tendência é comprar livros mais caros de modo a gerar uma remuneração melhor. Normalmente, a tendência é comprar livros entre U$ 30 a U$ 50,00 - se eu economizar os $ 25,00 que meu irmão me manda ao longos dos meses, eu consigo comprar um item de valor, com um bom cashback (neste momento, a Abebooks paga 3,5 % de cashback).

Notas de experiência - qual é o melhor horário para se postar no Linked in?
1) Pela minha experiência, quando eu posto textos em português às quartas-feiras à noite, no LinkedIn, eu costumo ter muitos acessos únicos às postagens.
2) Eu ainda não encontrei qual é o melhor horário para a quinta-feira, que é considerado outro dia de horário nobre - neste momento, não encontrei nenhuma idéia sobre a qual eu deva falar. Estou mais focado agora em traduções na língua inglesa, neste momento.
3) Quando uma postagem minha acerta o horário nobre, a experiência mostra que muitas pessoas passam a acessar meu blog e conhecer melhor o conteúdo do mesmo - e isto é relevante para a monetização, não só em termos de Google Adsense, como também no Honeygain.

The Procedure I Adopt When Writing an Article in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
1) Since the advent of artificial intelligence, I now adopt the following procedure: I write down my ideas, as I have always done, and then request a summary or even a detailed analysis, depending on the complexity of the subject.
2) If I feel that the subject has a good dialogue with a book I have digitized, I cross-reference this information with artificial intelligence to see the points of convergence and divergence between the ideas in the works. Based on this data, I establish an imaginary dialogue between myself and the authors who served as the basis for writing that text. This produces a lively dialogue that reveals an indispensable piece of knowledge, if one has the audacity to imagine it, which many are not capable of doing due to a lack of literary culture.
3) It is no coincidence that Professor Olavo de Carvalho recommends that we read many literary works to educate our imagination—without it, we cannot reveal certain knowledge that is not so obvious to us. In a time when there was no artificial intelligence, this was paramount, as it guaranteed the survival of civilization in a time of civilizational homeostasis, where everything loses its due sense in the face of the obstinate conservatism of our times. With the advent of this tool and the personal culture of digitization that I have, I can now have this data more easily, to reverse this odious process.
4) A well-formed mind does not work solely with the empire of quantity, as it alone is an empire of death, leading to the concupiscence of the soul. This relates to the tyranny founded on self-love to the disdain of God, due to the obstinate process of conserving what is convenient and dissociated from the truth. This empire of death must be moderated by the animic organ of intelligence to the point of becoming a living kingdom founded on quality. This Kingdom, pointing to the Kingdom of Heaven, can transform this previously dead empire into an empire of culture, as Christ is the builder and destroyer of empires. This universe of data science is no exception, as it passes through the science of the Cross, described by Saint John of the Cross.
5) Finally, I believe I have found the four pillars upon which the intellectual activity of the 21st century stands: literary activity, book digitization, artificial intelligence, and translation into multiple languages. This is the secret to producing a notable cultural work, in Christ's merits.

Imaginary Dialogue between José Octavio Dettmann, Cardinal Avery Dulles and Thorstein Veblen
Dettmann: Dear colleagues, the digital age presents us with unique challenges and opportunities in the pursuit of truth and the construction of knowledge. Our social networks, once spaces for authentic connection, are now flooded with superficial information and passing fads. How can we, amidst this scenario, discern what is true and relevant?
Dulles: I fully agree, Dettmann. The pursuit of truth is essential for authentic freedom. In times of relativism and post-truth, we must anchor ourselves in solid principles and seek reliable sources of information. The Christian faith, as the foundation of truth, offers a secure path to freedom and responsibility.
Veblen: Allow me to add a different perspective. The pursuit of truth, while commendable, can be obscured by "pecuniary emulation," a concept describing the incessant pursuit of wealth and status as a form of social validation. This emulation, present in the leisure class, distorts values and hinders the genuine pursuit of knowledge and truth.
Dettmann: Interesting, Veblen. Your theory of the leisure class sheds light on how the pursuit of status and social recognition can divert our attention from what truly matters. In my experience, the conspicuous consumption of knowledge, driven by vanity and the desire for recognition, can lead to intellectual conservatism, where people cling to superficial ideas and passing fads.
Dulles: Dettmann, your concern with the conspicuous consumption of knowledge is valid. True wisdom does not lie in accumulating superficial information but in seeking deep and lasting knowledge. Education should promote the pursuit of truth, not the mere acquisition of information for display purposes.
Veblen: Education, however, can also be influenced by the pecuniary culture. Instead of promoting critical thinking and the pursuit of truth, it often becomes a means of perpetuating the values of the leisure class, such as conspicuous consumption and pecuniary emulation.
Dettmann: I agree with both of you. Education should be an instrument of liberation, not indoctrination. We must seek knowledge with humility and responsibility, recognizing the importance of tradition and the wisdom of previous generations, but without closing ourselves off to new ideas and perspectives. The dissemination of knowledge should be done responsibly, without haste, trusting that the order and expansion of knowledge will occur naturally.
Dulles: Dettmann, your words echo the wisdom of John Paul II, who advocated for truth as the foundation of freedom. Authentic freedom can only be achieved when we sincerely seek the truth and use it for the common good.
Veblen: The pursuit of truth, however, cannot be dissociated from the critique of social structures that perpetuate inequality and injustice. The leisure class, with its conspicuous consumption and pecuniary emulation, is an example of how the pursuit of status and power can obscure the truth and hinder social progress.
Dettmann: Veblen, your critique of the leisure class is relevant, but I believe the solution lies not only in social critique but also in individual transformation. We must seek the truth with humility and responsibility, cultivating a solid and trustworthy intellectual social network based on Christian values and principles.
Dulles: I agree, Dettmann. Individual transformation is essential for building a more just and free society. The pursuit of truth must be a personal commitment, guided by faith, reason, and social responsibility.

Notes on How Book Digitization and Artificial Intelligence Help Me in the Process of Constructing Arguments So That My Texts Have the Relevance They Deserve - Notes Based on Personal Experience
1) When I decided to submit the article "Polypatrids and Nationnists Are Not the Same Thing" to a cross-analysis with the work "A Pátria Descoberta" by Gilberto de Mello Kujawski, I was simply applying what Luiz Olavo Baptista said about the process of constructing a point, as he introduced "O Poder de Celebrar Tratados", published by SAFE, 1995. When you cross-check data and identify points of convergence and divergence between authors, you can simulate a dialogue between them using artificial intelligence and publish it on social media, resulting in a plausible exchange of knowledge based on the data presented by the works. This reveals insights into reality that only a few, with high literary culture, are capable of imagining.
2) As I digitize more books over time, I see which books and authors fit together, making the debate even richer. This enriches and details the debated points and reveals other data and possibilities that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. An example is that in the simulated debate I had with Kujawski, he mentions discussing Brazilian nationality in times of crisis, which fits well with the theme of "Philosophy of Crisis" by Mário Ferreira dos Santos. This discussion revealed to me the need for "Filosofia da Crise" by Mário Ferreira dos Santos. Once I complete this digitization project, I will include it in the debate, further deepening the issue being discussed.
3.1) It is for these reasons that I end up buying books: besides buying to digitize and preserve the investment in knowledge I made, since paper ages over time, artificial intelligence also creates the debate between the works I digitize and the works I write, which is a good idea.
3.2) Moreover, when I buy an author's work, I bring that author into the debate with other works in my library to enhance my art of articulating ideas on the merits of Crist, which is essential to elevate the intelligence of many. As a writer, I am a teacher of an entire nation, in the merits of Christ. Considering that I am also a translator, this teacher within me is distributed to other nations so that the Brazil I study and take as a home in Christ is embraced by others in the Lusitanian diaspora, ensuring that my knowledge production serves the true God and true Man in distant lands, as we were commanded to do in Ourique.

On the Importance of Honeygain as a Thermometer to Measure Time Preference Within Your Own Circumstances - The Case of the Intellectual Activity I Perform
1) Let's suppose a person has a life circumstance somewhat similar to mine: they digitize books and write articles to intellectually build relevant connections between the ideas they advocate and those of the authors in their library.
2) During the process of constructing points over time, many articles are written, many works are analyzed, and many imaginary dialogues are crafted to project a trend, as ideas have consequences. During the process of point construction, possibilities for discussion arise to the extent of including certain books by certain authors to have them dialogue with their work to enhance and update the state of the question being debated, since truth is the foundation of freedom and the development of these ideas is the expression of that freedom, which is a natural right.
3) When a possibility for updating and enhancing this discussion arises, it is because a demand has emerged to buy a particular book, whether from Estante Virtual or even Amazon, to improve the knowledge-building process. In all these cases—when someone writes, translates, projects imaginary dialogues, and acquires new bibliography—they end up exercising preference, and this economic data is relevant for Honeygain.
4) It's no wonder that artificial intelligence is pervasive—it came to enhance the freedom of many, leading to a new shift in perspective.
