Status Updates From The Ultimate Goal: A Former...

Interesting but bit controversial by ch7... claiming something as objective truth but backing it up by quotes from someone else is not very convincing; especially for sensitive topics of identity and religion. Empirical evidence helps support those claims but they can be cherry picked themselves and packaged into a nice narrative to spund convincing (just applying the knowledge i learn from the book itself :))

Trying to find my groove by reading Vikram Sood's piquant account of the role of narratives in shaping international perceptions and consequently, relations. This book from 2020 took me back to my time at high school when I began knowing more facts about the world. Mr. Sood's ideas redirect my thinking towards a closer approximation of the truth and his exposition of narratives helps me separate the fluff from news.
