Have a look at the first few pages. It is a missing puzzle piece for most modern philosophy and a bridge to account for the impenetrability of some of the older stuff.

I like that. The tragedy of the commons is very real.

A good dive bar is a shitbox with cheap beers.

Wish I didn't like hipster IPAs so much.

No, but it is now in queue.

Most people like symbolism. Numbers from journalists "seem" like hard, clear facts one can depend on.

Really it is the pursuit of crutches.

@monarchist @dcc @mina @Scubbie @freepatriot @na @eriner @sun I think people are indeed too literal-minded, so the remark about castigating the Pharisees is accurate, and not just about rules, but anything: you say "a couple dozen" and if it's 23 or 25, they lose their shit. This tendency spills over to the news, where they assume that numbers burst from the heads of experts, in full battle dress: you ask "How did they get that figure?" and they have no answer, because the question doesn't even make sense: they think food comes from the supermarket and numbers come from journalists.

Have you read "The Savage Mind"? I think they way it ties into this topic might be of interest to you.

@monarchist @dcc @mina @caekislove @Scubbie @freepatriot @na @eriner @sun I use "public park" or "dive bar"/"gated community" as a metaphor, usually.
