Weekly “what are you reading” Thread :marseyreading:

So you can discuss your weekly readings.

I’m still reading Moby Dic, currently halfway through, so far is great, though as English is not my native language It means I have to look up quite a bit in the dictionary to learn the “old timey” words, but I’m using it less now the more I learn, it also made me check up the Bible to find the biblical counterparts of the characters with biblical names, which is interesting.

Technological Slavery

The last couple of commutes I've been listening to a podcast that's got the author on: https://www.manifold1.com/episodes/david-skrbina-on-ted-kaczynski-technological-slavery-and-the-future-of-our-species-episode-7 and it's making me curious about getting more TedPilled. Mostly in the form of deleting all social media, rdrama included, to stop the brainworms.

I'm at the part of the podcast where they bring up Tribe by Sebastian Younger, and the main point is that when white people kidnapped Native American kids they always tried to escape, but when white kids or adults "went native", if they didn't get "rescued" in the first year, they never wanted to come back.

How's the book, because he's not really making a great case on the podcast?

I have no idea. I downloaded a pdf and didn’t read it.
