Yoooooo I just learned that the phrase “what’s your beef” with beef meaning “problem” isn’t a 2000’s thing. Crazy. They were using that phrase in the 1950’s.

Allen is on page 74 of 168 of Revolutions: A Very Short Introduction
So far a good, concise analysis of not only the foundation of what goes into a revolution, outcomes and leadership, but of the very history of revolutions and insight into dynamics still felt across the world. I appreciate the Madame Guillotine joke during the discussion of (one) french revolution, especially after hours of reading pretty heavy and direct material.

Okay I will admit that it’s not as bad now, but still very distant from a human-like feel, however I kinda get it. I think my biggest qualm with this is that whenever they aren’t saying something out of pocket, it’s the most basic ideas. This entire chapter was just like “people like friend cause friend offer things in return,,, but watch for cheaters”. I could have just watched sesame street

This book has to be a social experiment on the public’s ability to identify questionable claims even when presented by well-educated individuals. If not, I’m genuinely disgusted with the constant search in both this book and discipline of psychology for an evolved characteristic in humans to justify racism, sexism, and homophobia.

I love this series but I am incredibly disappointed with this book. The sudden change in narration threw me off and I think was a poor choice as there are over 12 books that follow only Sookie and suddenly its following other people as well. It just felt rushed— not only just for the change in narration but also because the characters aren’t consistent and Sookie’s POV isn’t as developed as before.
