I'm curious bout your latest read... the title sound intriguing.
I reads alot... lol
Never read Rand though, an utter genius. Atlas Shrugged is one long ass book, I do like the premise though, and am mystified how Rand came up with the concept of changing atmospheric electromagnetic energy into kinetic, and also dig on the importance it gives to innovation and how we are so reliant on those gifted with this vision. Since you dug this so much, u will absolutely love Kurzweil's ideas... I do not totally agree with him, but his brilliance and the concepts he suggests are absolutely seductive and I had to watch myself rationalize how he could be right after all. In a way he could be the founder of the next pseudo religion. As preposterous as this sounds... it really isn't. Who would have predicted the turn we have made with the internet, 12 years ago? Oh, thats right, Kurzweill did, my bad.
I thought U were gonna bust out some obscure latin apocalyptic text... j/k
Reading about the plot sounds like something I would really dig, I do dig on the theme that it is so much easier to have faith when one has experienced the mystical or supernatural or unexplainable in life... not a prereq, but its viagra for the spirit.. imo.
I think some are innately predispositioned to have alot more faith than others... not by their choice, nor do I think is it a causal result of brain configuration, neurotransmission, or anything biological... there maybe synchronous correlations as science has pointed out, however, they are not the causal factors... being blessed with the grace of faith lies outside cause and effect and logic based knowledge IMO... anyway good stuff.

Not really, having 'game' isn't necessary here, but I feel I have become more observant of social dynamics and it's been fun trying out some of the techniques for a laugh. To be honest I felt sorry for the guys in the book.

I read this for the first time today. I need to readmore Yeats...
An Irish Airman foresees his Death
I KNOW that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross, 5
My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public man, nor cheering crowds, 10
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind 15
In balance with this life, this death.
