That time of year,,,

Temps are in the basement again; maybe even the sub-sub-basement for this area.  

TIS KOLD OUT!!!

And that means that stack of books next to my desk will be whittled down.  

HT to Francis for this one.  I’ve liked reading this so far (not done) and to be honest, diving into such thoughts,,,    refreshing, like a cool water mist from a waterfall on a hot summers day.   So few around these parts wish to exercise the mind, and when I get a chance to read such,,,,   MUCH NEEDED

Lots more books on that stack yet; almost all written around the time of the great wars: pre or post, but during a time when minds were still cultivated (for the mostpart) not indoctrinated.

Now, if you have read the book, you know the content of it, so what I am about to say will make sense to you.  (If not, in the dark,,,)  Finding a copy of this book was difficult.   Lots of his other writings, but this one was elusive for me.    I found lots of summaries as written by others, thier interpretations of it (I want the word from the horses mouth, dangit)  It honestly felt like there was some ‘force’ trying to keep this knowledge away. 

Conspiracy?   Technological entities wanting to keep things silent?  AI redirecting to ‘more contempary thought’ that conforms to Two Tiered society? 

Dunno, but  it felt manipulated.    Find it I did, and likely paid WAY TOO MUCH for it, but I have it now: dead tree and e-reader versions.  

and loving it.   Time to stretch the brainium a bit and recover some of those braincells stolen by the intelligence vampires I work with on the day to day.

Thinkin’ makes me hungry,,,

(did you know that the brain consumes 40% of the calories you consume?   Not from the forementioned book; just one of those useless bits of knowledge I collect that sometimes are found useful.)

Any howevers and whatnots, Its KOLD out and I’m in hibernate and re-educate mode.  Kittehs are cycling in and out as the heat gets to them, and they need a cooling down.  BUT they are leaving me alone for the mostpart.   GOOD!  

And the phone is on the shelf, charging, providing a hotspot as needed, but NOT DISTRACTING ME.

LOAD.

Updated: Finished.  Three chapters; this was more a thesis than a full scale book.  Well worth the read though.   Only downside I found was a significant LACK of comma punctuation.   This may have been due to the age of the writing and that most books from that time period were handset type for the first run.   Typesetters hated the comma (I know personally, because that was one of my vocational art classes way backawhen.)  Too easy to lose them on the block, hard to see even when not lost, etc etc.   It did make some of the sentence structure harder to understand and I would have to repeat through the sentence to ‘place’ the commas.   Not easy as misplaced commas CAN change the meaning.      The “A Panda eats bamboo, shoots, and leaves.” sort of miscommunication.

5 stars from me for the content,
