    I forgot that he also wrote that. I read “the dawn of everything” which is one of the most mind-blowing revisions of history I've ever seen. (In a good way, for once)

    I recently finished it and it completely changed how I see society. It's the intellectual equivalent of an acid trip, with how much it breaks down and challenges things you've just always assumed.

    I also recently read Debt and The Utopia of Rules. I highly recommend people read everything of his.
