Oddbean new post about login | logout nostr, what book are you currently reading?
Just finished the audiobook for Broken Money while awaiting my physical copy.
Ooh, sounds lovely Currently halfway through The Design of Everyday Things, and right now I'm reading through precursor and introduction to Aurelius's Meditations
I should go back to reading more books on creativity and accomplishing personal goals. I think the bitcoin philosophy stuff is pretty much covered by now.
i understood that for me, i just want to stack and use, and don't need to know everything to participate in this economy of things. curious what kind of books on creativity you have on your list
Let me make a proper list and post it later.
I'm reading two now: 1) Bitcoin: Separation of money and state, by Joseph Tetek. 2) The first and last freedom, by J. Krishnamurti.
The Ottomons. Its a history of their empire and a christmas gift, so just started. but looking forward to it as know next to nothing about them
A book about stoicism 🙏🏽
Oh, how lovely. Just started Meditations myself Which book is it?
It‘s the following. I am afraid though, that there isn’t english translation yet. It deals with the philosophy of Stoicism and how stoic people live, what’s their values, attitudes, behaviours, etc. Very interesting actually 👍🏽 https://image.nostr.build/b921d9039f11be2ca4269779df7616f62abb1e5ac456b8141d68de9c519a7130.jpg
Warspeak, Nietzsche's victory over nihilism
Yet to read any of Nietzsche's work 🤔
Lise van Boxel does a great job with this book in making Nietzsche more accessible to plebs 👌. So, don't start with Nietzsche himself, start with this I'd say.
Your post is getting a lot of comments. Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed
Just finished “Existential Physics” by Sabine Hossenfeld … needed a light & fun read so I started “Off to be the Wizard” by Scott Meyer. The first one asks questions like “Does the Past Exist?”, “Has physics ruled out free will?” & “Are humans predictable?” & answers them through a physics lens … interesting but a mildly difficult read. The latter is about a programmer that finds a hidden file in a server that allows him to edit his life stats & promptly becomes a wizard in Medieval England. Definitely the tone I was looking for … fun read …
Just finished Mandibles and in the middle of reading Seeing Like a State.
