This book is actually 2 books in one, it contains a large part of all the social commentary (from a critical, individualist perspective) I ever came up with. It carries a Millennial-style (i.e. nonlinearly logical -- it should feel right in the gut, otherwise it's wrong, we say) worldview, about the key non-obvious problems of today at a self-leading level, and the applied solutions, at a macro and micro level. This book visits many topics. It contains powerful etymological tools to help understand groups. It shows how the Gods may work -- by an example from my own life, how Zeus, the God of rainclouds, intervened in my life by giving me a vital intel input to save my life. By the way, if you want to have fate and luck smile upon you, the secret is not to pray or do petty religious politicking, it is to do really (logically) good deeds of benefit to other good life, this will endear you to the benevolent powers, who will intervene in your favor precisely when you need without you even asking. It describes a lot more of general interest. For example today's number 1 false assumption... is that your average "specialist" (e.g. policeman, judge etc.) is "competent in his field" although ignorant from a more general standpoint (the accepted professional model for the common man). But in fact the lack of a more general understanding, and the absence of nonlinear thinking, makes the typical specialist incompetent even "in his field" -- we see this in pharmacology, architecture, economics and other fields -- all the "specialists" share the same "semi-worldview" (a paradoxical concept) across the department, and are often dogmatically misguided, their situation summed up in one sentence: A fool is the one who is more excited about something that many people believe rather than something which uniquely seems closer to the truth. Since this book is basically a detailed worldview, much of what's said would be obvious to very high IQ readers, though even they will find much to indulge their hobby of thinking. It objectively defines the foolish and the wise, and has repurcussions on happiness, health, and quality of life. It can help you lead the world (and maybe yourself) out of the siege of the idiocratic analysts. This book is for those who want to avoid and help others avoid depression, cancers, and dementia; it introduces to the lay reader the commonly-ignored vital cogs of health, Norepinephrine and the endocannabinoid system; it covers the variations in mankind, key elements of (pre-) history, and the meaning of mythology (perfected in my latest film "Earthy Reckonings of Deep Space", do watch that!). This book tells you how you can leave (or keep) your job and do your bit to help good life via an intelligently-designed, permaculture/forest-centric architecture that promises to give you a headstart over traditional architects and developers; you and your friends can start building your naturist homes and lives in your area, and connect with others around the world who have already begun. Thus it holds out hope even in idiocracy, an increasingly meaningless world of soul-sucking jobs, ugly economic realities, and misinformation deluges; this book provides the philosophical context that most don't think of, for you to be not just another brick in the wall (happens to even the best of us), but a unique, individualistic building block of the modern renaissance. Although most of its sentences are very specific, it is a work of a very general nature, meant primarily for the intellectual who delights in thought exercises and critical dissections of what most take for granted. I'd list Balzac, Huxley, Chesterton, and General DeGaulle among the inspirations for this work.
