Extremely dark but realistic view on aliens

Revisado: 09-12-23

This book pulls no punches. It also has some really accurate and interesting hard scifi. Not to mention awesome ideas like cloning tech, and using it to bring back dinosaurs, pharohs, and supposedly, jesus, and the buddah. The last two are main characters even.
All sorts of awesome stuff.

very interesting strategies

Revisado: 04-22-23

this book details some of the strategies soros and others use to control politics. for example setting up campaign donation middle men orgs that have no donation limits while getting mccain to pass a bill that limits everyone elses donations so they are forced to go through the soros network.

A fascinating journey

Revisado: 01-15-23

if you are expecting some magic guide that will fix relationships you won't find that here.
instead you will find an Odyssey exploring every sex related lifestyle. ultimately journeying toward the psychological motivations leading to all these lifestyles.

I thought I knew it all about food but I was wrong

Revisado: 05-19-22

I read dietary and health information from everywhere I can find. Including controversial or more "hidden" secrets. Yet this book talks about a subject I had no idea about! And gives you great suggestions on how to improve your health while actually making food MORE delicious!

Important but overly political

Revisado: 02-19-22

Important book on how our attention is ruined. But the constant lowkey political hammering is super distracting and obnoxious. Every negative example is always a rightwing one, every positive example is always a left wing one. Even though for example the left is against school choice and alternative schooling when the book complains about how broken our school system is. The constant climate change narrative is also annoying and ridiculous compared to how little climate change actually affects the world, its like "inconvenient truth" all over again as if new york will be underwater by 2020. Seriously the entire first half of the book is about big tech which is VEHEMENTLY anti right wing and has banned and censored even people like Joe Rogan, who the author has been on and is the only reason I even know of him. Instead of bringing thay up he ONLY brings up negative examples.

But other than that it brings up important topics such as:
ADHD and how its largely due to our HORRIBLE schooling system, diet, and children lacking time for play and intrinsic goals.
The corrupt pharmaceutical and psychiatrist industry.
How our diet is also filled with toxins that are banned by other countries.
And of course the algorithms that big tech are using to mess with our minds.

He also wants clearly too far approaches like BANNING ALL PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION SYSTEMS. This is just absurd, I only found most of what I love now thanks to recommendation systems, including the authors podcast appearances. But in general some of the other things he advocated for are reasonable like less work hours (most ppl r on their phones and shit half the day anyway).

Way better than first Dune book

Revisado: 11-19-21

The first book had "action" but this book is way better. Its short and has very good pace. Every line feels meaningful in a deep way. Like each sentence tells some deep truth about life and the universe.
The conversations are amazing. Its like the greatest people of history, Newton, Einstein, Nitzche, Confusious, Buddha are talking to each other all over a plot to overthrow the greatest emperor.

Easy to read and very deep

Revisado: 11-07-21

People like to say this book is dry or hard to read but I just don't think that is the case whatsoever. There is drama, love triangles, ridiculous characters, and even crime :O. Yet its also a deeply philosophical book as well.

Absolutely insane ride!

Revisado: 09-06-21

This book is much better than the previous two. So many amazing revelations, world building, and terrifying encounters. The characters are all super interesting as well.

Long winded

Revisado: 07-31-21

Overall its the story of adam and eve. The issue is while the writing is very vivid it slows down the pacing tremendously and is difficult to understand. Passive voice is used throughout and sentences are structured in a way that makes them needlessly annoying. Its a translated poem so I guess that's why.

Way too long, extremely overrated

Revisado: 07-05-21

There are an infinite number of classic books to read. Not to mention alternative media like comics. This book has the audacity to be several times the length of a typical book but covers a tiny fraction of story. The pacing is atrocious. And after all those words we only get a meer introduction to the world, the characters and the drama. Worst pacing Ive ever read in a book. I recommend just reading synopsis of the books, its just not worth it. The story isn't unique or anything and is filled with common tropes throughout. It doesn't really "feel" real, I don't think the author has experienced anything exciting in his life to base the book off of. Its feels like someone just writing a book based on what he thinks books should be like instead of using his own life experiences.
