Somebody recommend me a non bitcoin book
Discussion
What did you like about this book?
For one, it’s a quick read. Short and concise chapters. But the book itself just hit so many nails on the head for me. I’m a musician and the “resistance” as the author describes it, describes a lot of what I’ve encountered and struggled with in my artistic efforts.
I think that’s the guy that wrote “The Legend of Bagger Vance”…he’s got a great narrative style IMHO
antifragile by Nassim Taleb (now anti-bitcoiner), really cool
The Little Prince
The Creature of Jekyll Island
Read this one a while back but good for anyone that hasn’t
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/70561.The_Gulag_Archipelago_1918_1956 this one has been on my list for a while maybe it’s time
just got this book a day or two ago. only a few chapters in and I'm enjoying it and finding it interesting. but personally I wouldnt suggest this if you haven't checked out some of his other works.
and mandibles, if you haven't read that yet. I liked it a lot.
Thanks Mandibles is another I gotta read good reminder
What topic area?
These are the ones I would recommend for philosophy:
Aristotle - Nichomachean Ethics
Lao Tzu - The Tao te Ching
Leonard Peikoff - Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand
Marshall Rosenberg - Nonviolent Communication
Richard Dawkins - The Selfish Gene
Any I like a good fiction story, some science fiction, anything historical or classic, or non fiction if it is not too boring.
Heinlein's 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' is good
I enjoyed Andre Norton's 'Star Guard' which is military sci-fi (mostly on foot)
Any other Heinlein you recommend I have read the Moon is a Harsh Mistress enjoyed it
I've heard good things about Starship Troopers but haven't read it
(and apparently the film is not the most faithful adaptation)
I have read Stranger in a Strange Land, which was worthwhile... it has more of a 'flower child' or 'new age spirituality' tone than 'Moon' but I think it's an interesting story nonetheless
Thanks!
Human Action -Ludwig von Mises
The Creature from Jekyll Island -G. Edward Griffin

#hola , The Awakened Ape, is about evolutionary psychology, really fun jokes to read and filled with interesting facts that explain why we behave like we do, biohacking tips for happiness and health and a lot of unpopular opinions about society like, against the Thomas Hobbes opinion that human nature is bad and we need state but the book tells that the problem is that we are not in our natural enviroment with the tribes habits in all aspects, sexual, nutritional, and mindfulness that really interesting with the topic of psychiatric ilness and how tribes use and used to treat with Shamanic rituals the people that they detected like that. Really cool hahahah
