"The introduction definitely makes the author come across as an insufferable snob with the anecdote about education these days. I'm still hopeful about learning things from the book, despite the author describing the Peace of Westphalia as converting from a time of empires to a time of kingdoms." — Oct 19, 2024 01:09PM

"
I'm not sure it'll live up to the hype (" Don't feel pressured by the fact that that book contains nothing but pure, scintillating truth.... Except for section 3, section 3 is mostly bullshit.") but I'm glad Project Gutenberg had this book.

"I'm convinced that I'd be further if he used fewer words. Except in some cases, when I feel like I'm reading a puzzle description because I can't tell which meaning of a word he wants to use. Still, so far I'm following it. I think." — Nov 18, 2013 11:29AM

“But as the years went on, I realised that what I really want to be, all told, is a human. Just a productive, honest, courteously treated human.”

“And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women - except, of course —those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape ‘kit ‘n’ stuff, But for everybody else, it’s a win-win. Unless you’re a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years - whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know - actually, I take it back. The whole thing’s a disaster.”
