Any anons read this book?
Thoughts?
I thought it was an interesting insight into the development of humankind, but it comes to some depressing conclusions

not really anything in particular. I finished it recently and while it was a good read i feel like it just feeds into ideas of nihilism more than anything else

Idk, I didn't really get those feels, also nihilism doesn't bother me. I got a sense of order and clarity from it.

That book has had pretty poor reviews within academic circles

No one cares. This isn’t the 1950s. Anyone doing anything substantial is outside of those plebmind filter circles by necessity. The book is surface shit tho
