"I paid full price for kindle version, rather than the usual deals. Made me feel enthusiastic about goal renewal, and systematic approaches to my goals. Has stagnated with repetition. Might skip around to get to the good parts. I don't like character limits in these updates; makes it harder to think about what I want to say." — Apr 12, 2026 01:53PM

"Reads like 'bend people to your will' self help, prose has cadence of social media advertising. I expect that it will not articulate 1) strategic saturation/all have same weapon 2) user's vulnerability to others' manipulation 3) negative externalities 4) tragedies of the commons. And more. (cursed goodreads update word count.) Might be wrong, but it seems like GrifterLit, probably won't continue." — Apr 07, 2026 07:51PM

"Goodreads censors and inconveniences use of swearwords. Anyway, where has this book been all my life? Has any therapist or psychiatrist ever read a single book in their professional lives? Gives me a strong feeling like it's all coming together: epistemology, paradigm, cybernetics, social tiers, and more-- concepts I get ridiculed and ignored for thinking and talking about. Thank you Winek!" — Apr 07, 2026 06:08PM
