Hedge Fund Market Wizards
I wasn’t that into this book, but parts of it did motivate me in my investing work. It was mostly very high-level advice from many experts with various views and it was biased towards a trading mindset, though it did have a few value investors too. It covered topics like risk control, when to stick […]

Manual of Insight
A section of this book was recommended in Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha. It was the most the theological Buddhist book I’ve read. It quoted canonical texts and taught me which concepts are part of the canon. Overall it was very slow to read because it seemed quite abstract and repetitive, but I […]

The Way of the Superior Man
I didn’t get much out of this book. It focused a lot on sexuality and the role of men, but almost everything seemed like either stating the obvious or somewhat arbitrary opinions. 2/5

The Way of Men
This book was about the ways in which modern society is unnatural for men. It discusses how it is more natural for men to form tribes or gangs and how modern society expects everyone to be more docile and feminine than men naturally would be. Although the book makes good points and it can be […]

A Warning to the World
I believe at this point we have enough information to make some educated predictions on the future of the COVID-19 dystopia. There has been much talk about the vaccines being a depopulation program. There have been many reports of deaths and adverse effects which do seem to lend some credence to this idea, but if […]

The Red Pill Curriculum
I put together this collection of videos and documentaries to help people understand the extent of government malfeasance. It will be a hard pill to swallow for some, but it is now an ethical imperative to spread the truth as the malfeasance becomes malignant. The Red Pill Curriculum

The Righteous Mind
This book talked about the moral foundations that produce different political views. It says that the morality of liberals is based on care/harm and fairness/cheating, whereas the morality of conservatives encompasses those plus authority/subversion, loyalty/betrayal, and sanctity/degradation. Haidt suggests that these are genetic traits that evolved to adapt to our ancestor’s environments. He also seems […]

The Body Keeps the Score
Very interesting and informative book about psychological trauma. I think it may be applicable to many people who don’t believe that they’ve been traumatized because trauma is a strong word, but the experience of trauma is probably more like a spectrum in which everyone has some degree of it. It explains some of the science […]

A People’s History of the United States
This book tells the history of the United States from the perspective of the common people rather than from the perspective of political leaders and elites. I think it is a useful supplement to the usual historical narrative, though for me it was quite boring and hard to get through. I finished it because I […]

The History of Pandemic Lockdowns in the US
Deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic are still occurring, but this provides a picture of how COVID-19 currently compares to previous pandemics. During the 1918 pandemic “Social distancing measures were introduced, for example closing schools, theatres, and places of worship, limiting public transportation, and banning mass gatherings. Wearing face masks became common in some places, such […]
