Feb 12, 2016 at 22:51 comment added Saal Hardali Thank you for this summary! All that spectra stuff starts to make some sense. It's extremely difficult to learn this stuff as there are very few sources about this and fewer that treat the "technical" stuff that goes into proving this beautiful theory. I'm finally convinced though at least in the case of connective ring spectra, close cousins of simplicial rings, that the theory starts looks rather reasonable (as opposed to unjustly beautiful). Would you say in general that the tools that go into constructing and working with general spectra are refinements of simplicial techniques?
