In Chapter 9, this book shifts from very good to mindblowing… 🤯

“Of all the hatreds, none is greater than that of ignorance for knowledge.” p.207

“There is absolutely no proof that human well-being inevitably improves as history rolls along. There is no proof that cultures that are beneficial to humans must inexorably succeed and spread, while less beneficial cultures disappear.” p.269

Holy shit… I just took a look at some of the scathing 1 & 2 star reviews! 😆 Not surprising at all, really. Incidentally, I’m very much enjoying this book! 🤓
