'Live no lies' by john mack comer, it's pretty wingcucked but it changed my mind on some modern nonsense such as the assumption that we're always standing on the shoulders of giants intellectually, always increasing in brain power and understanding with each new generation. Turns out yeah we acquire more knowledge but shit probably hasn't changed with our IQ in 30,000 years except for a noticeable decline starting around the time the social revolution took off in the 60s/70s and the family structure started getting attacked. It also makes the best case I've heard for why the majority of idealists deserve the wall.
Lotta srs bsnss nooticer type of stuff. I wanna read House of Leaves next after watching this video tho. (I don't recommend actually watching that video, I hate pompous "let me explain to you this blatantly obvious thing with a sherlock homes accent" bongistanis and could only get 1/3rd in)

I remember people talking about him when he wrote some book and looking him up. He named his kids Jude, Moses and Sunday so I will not read his books.
