LMFAO, Shrier's intellectual thrust of this entire book is Kids are liberal because their parents were permissive parents.

Started reading this after a Health Seminar.

Big slop so far. “It’s the experts that are wrong, look at all this correlation, parents are being wimps by giving kids phones making kids become wimps!”

“The Chinese state is scared of the Chinese people”

Dnf, library return due and not worth getting again

Enjoyed The science piece while at an IES cluster randomized trial training. So very apt.

I'd say the insights in chapter 11 are the most useful of the book, highlighting the flat management style of silicon valley.

I think he does make a compelling case that silicon valley never became adults

Very strong getting the vibes between -gen x mad that his friends didn’t get to fight in a Great War and - mad other countries aren’t spending more money for his organizations tech. No one’s answered for me the question: what does it mean for NATO to spend 3% of their GDP on defense, does it really just mean spending it on American tech?

Uhh Alex can’t hide his disdain for people who don’t want to build weapons of death.

DNF but I get it now

There is a section around this where Mao attacks some island to convince Eisenhower to protect Taiwan and E says "I don't see why we shouldnt use nuclear weapons as any other conventional weapon." This statement makes Stalin to give China nuclear weapons.

Remarkably timely read given the experiences of Gandhi in South Africa at the same time as Elon Musks grandfathers lives

Given it's rise to 3rd most populace state, it almost seems derogatory to the seminoles, as if they were incapable of taming the land. then ultimately telling the stories of the seminole wars.

6 pages is how long it took for HM to write weirdly about an underage girl from a voice that shouldn't be talking about underage girls

Interesting!

Chapter 20 is the most important for American history

Today, the conservative elements of our society say "The conditions of the southern border amount to an invasion," I can imagine the Iroquois leaders saying the same thing about the French

silly silly illiterate horndog

somehow I missed that Feyre was illiterate listening to acotar

I've fallen asleep at least 3 times while reading this already but the hints at how horny its going to be is fun

It is definitely impressive how far unions have fallen.

Unbelievable uneducated view of Florida’s history just to smear (understandably) Andrew Jackson’s role in the first Seminole war

AJ's battle against SC and nullification was really neat.

The contributions of American Filipinos to Tiki is truly unrivaled.

uhhhh I'm sure its the American in me but I find it pretentious to read/write about Europe.
