It looks like the first bits of each chapter are missing from the document

makes it hard to read

Yeah, not the best quality unfortunately

New charles murray book ready for predorder https://www.amazon.com/Human-Diversity-Biology-Gender-Class/dp/1538744015/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

hmm, perfect timing

How’s the hardcover version much lower in price than the kindle version though, strange

Might buy that, saw it advertised. /ourguy/?

I mean if you don't own any charles murray books yet you might want to go for something like "human accomplishment" which imo is his magnum opus. But yeah he's definitely ourguy and any book he authors is worth picking up.

Oh, he's the guy behind the Bell Curve?

Yeah

any one has Siege?

In Harran, the locals refused to convert. They were dismembered, their limbs hung along the town’s main street. In Alexandria, zealots pulled the elderly philosopher-mathematician Hypatia from her chariot and flayed her to death with shards of broken pottery. Not long before, their fellow Christians had invaded the city’s greatest temple and razed it—smashing its world-famous statues and destroying all that was left of Alexandria’s Great Library.
Today, we refer to Christianity’s conquest of the West as a “triumph.” But this victory entailed an orgy of destruction in which Jesus’s followers attacked and suppressed classical culture, helping to pitch Western civilization into a thousand-year-long decline. Just one percent of Latin literature would survive the purge; countless antiquities, artworks, and ancient traditions were lost forever.
As Catherine Nixey reveals, evidence of early Christians’ campaign of terror has been hiding in plain sight: in the palimpsests and shattered statues proudly displayed in churches and museums the world over. In The Darkening Age, Nixey resurrects this lost history, offering a wrenching account of the rise of Christianity and its terrible cost.
