For the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive? Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world.

Drivel

This is such an uncomfortable way to use unsubstantiated thoughts of early man to explain the authors personal Zionism. I’m literally starting a Substack to debunk every stupid lie and assumption in this Wall Street journal opinion piece masquerading as history

Important story by flawed person
Revisado: 04-26-24
I think this is a vibrant story burdened by a white woman narrator who thinks I not only care about her and her fatphobic bias, but also that I care wether she learns or not. It exactly what’s wrong with liberalism. The implementation of a ceiling on understanding and the perspective of boring whiteness only detract

The American supermarket is an everyday miracle. But what does it take to run one? What are the inner workings of product delivery and distribution? Who sets the price? And who suffers for the convenience and efficiency we’ve come to expect? In this rollicking exposé, author Benjamin Lorr pulls back the curtain on this highly secretive industry.

Unsettlingly fatphobic at every opportunity
Revisado: 10-21-23
The content of the book is solid but every chance this guy gets to tell us someone is fat he pounced on it. Everyone white thin person gets described by their demeanor or dress, unless they are fat and then that is their defining physical attribute. Non-white characters are pretty much only described by race. It reads like 2004. It’s sad that an editor couldn’t have been like “count up all the rimes you only describe a character,no matter how minor, as heavy. Then change half of the descriptions to anything else you can noticed about that person”. Because right now this reads like he’s rating characters on his personal scale of fuckability

Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

What a long way to say nothing new
Revisado: 04-12-23
Historians are not scientists. This is not an archeologists findings or an anthropological or biological study. This is the regurgitation of the popular myths that we’ve been telling ourselves for centuries.

There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities.

Disgustingly wonderful
Revisado: 01-16-21
The characters are so vile at some points as they’re all people incapable even wanting to change or live better lives that the entire book is hard to stomach and hard to put down all at once.
