she had many opportunities to school these retards on the issue with the kurds
@nimble_newt ever play factorio? <3
@Mooncrest I used to play it a lot during undergrad.

@UnScottable the problem is screwing people on the Kurds means agreeing with trump
In the Democratic primary agreeing with trump is an instant game over
ye tru... we cant have that
@Tiberius Since you come from such a formally educated family did you find yourself reading a lot of your grandparents books coming up?
We have a growing library in our house and I'm always open to recommendations.
@nimble_newt Meditations by emporer Marcus Aurelius
Not to interject, but if I could only recommend one book, it would be that
<@411687472829956098> I'll check our book catalog and see if we have it already.
Roman stuff is definitely up my alley. I have tons of it that I haven't read yet. My backlog is insane.
I came from the opposite of a formaly educated family. I'm the first person on either side of the family to go to college. Wew laddd
Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power by Daron Acemoglu is great @nimble_newt
The history is staggering.
Also <@411687472829956098> Throw all the good book recs at me.
Maybe I have a lower oppinion of the biases of educated folk because of that...
@UnScottable does it address the habitual pattern of self-described empires being prone to collapse from the very center of authority?

well i havent finished the book yet, but the first couple chapters explain why the governments in South America are so different from the governments in north america
I go to law school next year
and it really breaks down exactly why we are so close, yet so different
@ShardS Half of my family (mums side) is working class and have never been to uni. My dad's side is very formally educated (Think MIT, Oxford, Harvard). I think it gives me a good balance
A worthwhile analysis by the sounds of it
My balance is not being dum
I can really see both perspectives because my family is a blue collar/white collar hybrid
I have read a very small portion of my grandfathers library
Also @ShardS Thumbs up on Law School
I start my MD/PhD soon
Send thoughts and prayers
Books are just so easy to collect and keep for posterity
Being as I live in california and he lived in Idaho distance made it largely difficult to get through any of his books
