Just starting this book - interested in the contrast between the individual and society (from Freud’s point of view)

An interesting read so far. Still formulating my thoughts on it.

A book that will be read for many generations to come. I highly recommend this book to all.

Stunned at the depth of human depravity, and the power of human determination. To grasp that this capacity is in each and every one of us is a jarring confrontation with my humanity.

About half way through this one, and I find Blooms’ contention that very young children are able to infer the intentions of others to be a stunning argument. Evolution has shaped us to give off physical cues about what we are directing our attention toward, and young children appear to have the ability to infer these intents.

Absolutely excerpt book that truly communicates the intuition of CompSci as applied to day-to-day Living. Worth the time to study, digest, and ponder.

A strong book with great insights into the theory and process of learning. I am about 1/3 of the way through the book, and am using it to inform the design of an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

The discussion of positive and negative feedback loops is positively riveting. Seeing the applicability to business processes, but also my personal life and ambitions is fascinating!

A great book, with surprising clarity on the thought process and paradigms underlying Command Control
