im currently listening through this ^, the author is a bit blue pilled on race, but it's a very fascinating account of all the catastrophic problems convering on America and modern civilization as a whole.

2017-09-20 22:49:48 UTC  

Took some caps of rec'd reading and infodumps from SIG, want me to post them here?

2017-09-20 23:01:32 UTC  

yeah reading lists are welcome, however dont dump inforgraphics, theyre usually little use to anyone that way, rather post one when its relevant to some discussion

2017-09-20 23:08:03 UTC

Jared Diamond? Isn't that the man who wrote Guns, Germs and Steel?

2017-09-21 01:48:46 UTC  

^^ this is from the guy who wrote guns germs and steel so take his stuff with a grain of salt, how ever he is very good at observing societies and cultures and his writing is good

2017-09-21 01:48:56 UTC  

yep

2017-09-21 01:49:57 UTC  

Ah. Gotcha. I'll give it a look over

2017-09-21 01:51:43 UTC  

im only half way through world until yesterday, so far it basically talks about how small tribal cultures resolve conflicts and deal justice,
How societies collapse is a historical retelling of past cultures that got wiped out such as easter island and some isolated viking tribes, and tries to find connections between all of them
