 Read saifedean principles of economics 

Man this guy hates Keynesians 💀 
 and a hard on for the meats only. 😺 
 Working my way through it now 
 Oh yeah.

The ad hominem attacks lost me (and others) tbh.

Attack the ideas; there is plenty to go at! 😂 
 I haven't read it, but makes sense...why like something that doesn't work?

Personally, I dislike bicycles with square wheels. 
 Indeed one too many ad hominem hateful attacks, which undermine the good principles being exposed. A manual on how radicalism is always in a battle against itself. 
 I hate them even more 
 Toxic Austrian maximalist 
(and I'm all for it) 
 Honestly, this is why I refer people to Lyn's book instead of Saifedean's. 

Yeah, Keynesianism is retarded, we all know why. But the way Saifedean explains the issue comes across too opinionated and bias, to convince any fence sitters. Lyn brings much more balance and nuance to the conversation. 
 It’s understandable, though, as his country has literally been torn apart by it 
 "Who needs Keynesians when you've got Saifedean's principles of economics? Embrace the non-conformity and challenge the status quo! 💪 #ThinkOutsideTheKeynesianBox" 
 Have a worthless 4yr piece of paper in the subject .... I enjoy his take on economics and on Palestine.
