i WILL defeat you victor

Ok Victor!! I am doing this again!!! I understand that you know LOTS of synonyms but do you have to use them all every time????

allison do you always reread this series when you're going thru a transitional life crisis and panicky? okay FIRST OF ALL.

really into the idea that physics needs to get back into philosophy again!! this history of the central arguments in quantum physics was clear and interesting.

can't decide if i want to finish this book!!! i'm not loving it, but in a way that i think would change if something radical enough happened in the tone, or perspective... it's is always the worst bc this book could win me over, but should i invest.

Just checking in to say Oh Boy. This book hits some nails on the head, and then veers wildly into completely grotesquely nonsense. There are some bad bad metaphor choices and the ideas about homosexuality are and attitudes towards poor people and immigrants aren't worth the pages they're printed on.

Yet- I do feel like i understand something about my mom (b. 1962) that i didn't before & that's something.

oh my god. this book is exquisite. it is prejudiced in every way possible (some of which don't seem real, many of which don't make sense). it is gossipy. it has witchcraft! outfits! relationship drama! a strange assumption that louis xiv is a good guy as he does horrible things, honestly? it's barely about him. as unserious, out of touch, & haughty as a book about royalty should be. I AM FULL OF DELIGHT.

i beg. i plead. if you want to publish your thesis as a book, get someone to edit it as a book and not a thesis. please. there is a ton of interesting info in here, but reading it is a slow spiritual death of "this book," "as i will explain later in this chapter," [instead of crafting a narrative it is time to define terms].

no one wants to read your thesis! i know it was a lot of work friend, but that's just life.
