You'd get about a 1 mSv dose, and be fine. I'm more worried about the 200,000 or so daily premature deaths due to fossil fuel pollution.

Civil law can't be fully ported to computer code, but enough of it probably can. Most contractual issues don't get anywhere near a court. They're resolved via negotiation and alternative dispute resolution (and there's normally a contractual obligation to go this route before resorting to the courts). Dispute resolution is incredibly expensive, especially when you're dealing with multiple jurisdictions. Lawyers and judges haven't managed to stop parties using mediation and arbitration services offered by people who aren't legally trained, such as economists or people with extensive domain experience.

But smart contracts would change the way contracts are written, as they're often intentionally ambiguous for a variety of reasons. There's also the problem of "oracles", but we already have a profession for translating real-world events into legal ones (notaries).

This probably isn’t novel advice, but Khan Academy is great for learning the fundamentals.

I’m in a similar position. I’ve rebuilding my understanding of mathematics using Khan Academy and 3Blue1Brown videos. It’s going pretty well.

I made a similar app (iOS) which varies the display time by word length, punctuation, and each word's place in a list of the 100 most common words (under the assumption that common words contain less information, thus take less effort to read). To be honest, I'm not sure it works any better than one running at a constant speed. There seems to be a surprising lack of research in this area.

Thanks. Just the one page at present.

Possibly a bit grandiose. Any feedback much appreciated.
