I'm reading China Rich Girlfriend. It's really good. There's some good stuff in the works coming to theaters and HBO Max. The Crazy Rich Asians movie for the most part was very faithful to the first book and in some ways better.

Anyone ever read The Satanic Bible?

I have not, and don't plan to. Just a honest question.

I read Death by Blackhole. I did find I liked Michio Kaku more.

Excerpt:
We're going to pretend that modern-day vampires don't drink the blood of humans; they're vegetarian vampires, which means they only drink the blood of humanely farmed animals. You have a one-time-only chance to become a modern-day vampire. You think, "This is a pretty amazing opportunity, do I want to gain immortality, amazing speed, strength, and power? But do I want to become undead, become an immortal monster and have to drink blood? It's a tough call." Then you go around asking people for their advice and you discover that all of your friends and family members have already become vampires. They tell you, "It is amazing. It is the best thing ever. It's absolutely fabulous. It's incredible. You get these new sensory capacities. You should definitely become a vampire." Then you say, "Can you tell me a little more about it?" And they say, "You have to become a vampire to know what it's like. You can't, as a mere human, understand what it's like to become a vampire just by hearing me talk about it. Until you're a vampire, you're just not going to know what it's going to be like."

/////
A transformative experience changes the values and preferences held before making the decision.

Making a choice therefore requires either relying on current preferences that may be incompatible with preferences developed after a transformative experience, or it requires relying on possibly biased or unreliable input from others about their transformative experiences.

As neither of these options is consistent with a first-person preference-based rational decision-making model, making a rational decision about transformative experiences requires thinking about the decision-making process differently.

Rather than focusing on a specific personal outcome, Paul suggests instead considering the value of "revelation" by weighing the value of becoming a different person against the value of remaining the same person.

/////
So far reading, understanding how much wise life decisions depends on an awakening via life experience or psychedelic/spiritual experience to rewire or align better present values with every day preferences/state of being.

Michio Kaku is definitely on my list. Do you have a favorite of his to recommend starting with?

 

[dildos]

im reading the greatest fiction book ever written!

hmmmm... maybe Parallel Worlds or Physics of the Impossible. It has been a while since I read them (audiobook) so not sure why is best but do remember enjoying them all.

im reading the greatest fiction book ever written!

Not sure how that is fiction. If it is to you then every book from the ancient world is fiction.

When you actually read it and the stories, you find out how true it is. True in the meta sense....Cain and Abel is a great example. The brother who was blessed is hated by the brother who was not... and etc.

But yes, Sky Daddy is bad! Yawn.
