Broad correlation across multiple fields

Revisado: 11-30-24

I normally like to read his books, but this one felt a little thin. He had a lot of theories based upon some loose connectivity between a variety of ideas and the things that drive them, But it felt like it was a reach.

He also does not like Trump and essentially said that because he lives in South Florida he must be corrupt. I’ve not seen him be political and base his assumption on the fact that he lives in South Florida felt like another reach.

Most of the content in his book ran along those lines of a loose correlation between the facts and some outcome. This is one of the few misses that I felt like he’s had.

Atlas Shrugged perspective for our current fiscal situation

Revisado: 11-04-24

The author wrote a compelling book along the lines of Atlas shrugged. She showed a “what if”scenario of what we could face based upon our current physical, economic models that does not look good.

I think Ayn Rand would’ve been pleased with this book because it echoed a lot of her sentiments about over each of government and personal freedom. The book is very compelling and at same time chilling to read. What she suggested in 2016 has in some ways come true and is very prophetic.

I highly recommend the book!

Interesting but with flaws

Revisado: 05-13-24

John had an interesting background as Economist for an American company. He admits that he did not have the mathematical chops and created inflated estimates to countries that relied upon them for budgets. He of course felt regret for his shading of the truth and eventually blames America, corporations and Christianity for all of the failings of the western world. He's a practicing shaman, yes that, and a lot of what he hoped for are early DEI and woke perspectives come true.

He is correct in that corporations and the US government are not trustworthy but he seems to cast everything else as part and parcel for his deception to the leaders he was tasked to help. In some ways he presents a very Marxist perspective the capitalism and the world. He believes that the female nature is the path forward and that male and probably white represent all that is flawed in the world.

This simplistic view is one of the things that has led us down this path that we are on now. His simplistic view that everything Americans do is bad and the others such as Hugo Chavis are good is a major flaw of the book and again based on a fundamental Marxist perspective.

Interesting history lesson but you have to wade through a lot Marxist drivel.

And I salute the bravery of this man

Revisado: 05-07-24

It’s refreshing to see someone address the insanity that we see around us every day. It’s clear and direct arguments of rational reason are so compelling and important. It’s sad that we have to even discuss some of these topics because of the insanity that we live in today.

Not what I expected

Revisado: 11-14-23

I thought this is gonna be a continuation of the expeditionary force storyline. What it is, is an introduction of another storyline that’s not relevant at all and a waste of time.

Books matter and this one is is crtical

Revisado: 09-22-23

This was an incredible book and relevant for today's issues. It shows where we are now and how this has been repeated over and over. We never see it because we never look back.

What a great book.

Revisado: 03-13-23

I've told people for years that if you just look at people you engage with everyday you see they are not as bad as they appear in news or social media. When you walk into your local store or even in your neighborhood you are largely meet by decent and kind people. That's who we are as a nation. Yes there are jerks and sometimes your one of them but for the most part we are nation of caring people.

I always like to find something that I can take from a book and this gave me several great nuggets. States are important because they localize a group of people. More than likely most people in that state have their opinions and ideas that bring them together more so than the nation at large.

I had not realized that a triad government was the key to our republic based on the past states. It's one of the few types of governance that can take us out of the cycle of constant revolutions. Another one of many concepts that I will carry with me.

This is a gem that will stand the test of time.

The most important person I never knew of

I was in the Air Force in the early 80s but until I read this book I had no idea who John Boyd was it's a well-crafted book with keen insights
