"I decided to start this book from the beginning, as the author intended, despite seeing endless recommendations online to start from part two as part one was very confusing, difficult to read, and didn’t make any sense. Having just finished part one, which flowed well and wasn’t confusing at all, I’ve decided never to read online opinions on books before reading them again." — Jun 06, 2026 08:07PM

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.”
