Mauricio is 30% done with The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1)
At the beginning i was intrigued. Wonderful new world with it’s own science and magic and history.
But then it got a bit much.
We get it. Kvothe is super duper smart, but i wasn’t expecting him to become the harry potter of his school, rather i was hoping for something different.

It’s enjoyable, so am carrying on, but i fear i might get bored soon

Mauricio is on page 210 of 320 of The Uninhabitable Earth: A Story of the Future
First let me say I agree with the book’s premise and tone.
But there’s an element of blackmail in this book. It feels it would be extremely un-PC to dislike it, for fear of being labelled a climate-denialist.
Not much of the info is new, but the urgency it conveys helps bring the apocalyptic scenarios down from science fiction to science fact.
Still, like it or the woke police will come for u.

Mauricio is on page 173 of 624 of The Laws of Human Nature
Pg 173, and so far find it slightly superficial and anecdotical. Feels more like a long speech by an entertaining dinner-guest. It would work better as a primer if it actually referenced any of his assertions in evolutionary psychology and behavioural science.
