Ok I am halfway through it. It is pretty bland so far. I would describe it as.

Disjointed attempt to utilize works of older philosophers in an , " In yo face " sort of writing style. My issue is each small chapter is a small rant that doesn't really go anywhere. " The bronze age mindset " has yet to manifest at all really. Its like someone trying to transcribe "Revolt against the modern world" into little snippets, maybe mixed with some Jungian attitudes, so calling on the " Great archetypes of old "

Hoping it gets better? I should finish it in a bit.

You should look into the book and it's "author" It's meant to be written poorly. The theories as to why are only theories, but my understanding is the author is thought to be some high level wizard who is trying to mask his identity.

It reads a lot like If I were to write a book in 20 minute chunks over the course of a month. The contents do not contain very much information I am not already privy too. A lot of it is surmised and not well thought out. The disjointed nature does not feel intentional to me.

Just keeps going with a new small tangent, maybe an anecdotal experience in a paragraph, then just continues on in this pattern over and over. I am waiting for anything good to come out of this.

Trump’s family knows the secrets of Tesla. They know many
other things:

The use of colons and semi-colons is constant.

I went to troll gay bars with Hitler mustache, and
outraged the patrons there with stories of how the National Socialists started out
as a gay-rights movement in a basement in Munich

The grandiose self inserts of being a nonchalant guy, hanging out in the seedy dark places cause I'm so cool and stuff.

I will finish it, but its more like someone's first attempt to write a book after reading a few philosophy books.

I always loved the statues of the kouroi. I can safely say that upon viewing
such statue by myself for three hours (someone let me in to look alone in
museum), I was able to ejaculate without touching myself. But I had no dirty or
untoward thoughts the entire time. This experience made me wonder…if it is
possible to ejaculate without touching yourself, is it possible also to will yourself
to death just the same, without doing anything?

That was one of the worst books I have ever read. Its literally a "50 rules of power" formula but written by someone around 19-24ish.

Its just a format of.

- Here is something
- IN history so and so believed this and did some things
- Run off tangent for a paragraph
REPEAT

There is no actual " Bronze age mindset " mentioned. It is just extrapolated as, " Pirates were cool and free, be like a pirate " Its Evola-lite. I was expecting something interesting in terms of some kind of " Return to tradition " mindset, thus "Bronze-age" yet, there is nothing really there.

Entire book can be surmised as

1. Things are rough
2. Imagine if you just didn't give a shit and were a pirate
3. Gotta go guys, end the is nigh!

I will say this. I see this garbage is selling for $16 bucks. I am going to write a book this year if this is what passes as literature.

All-time great gif.

I enjoy the writing style and wonderful citations. Psychology and mythology make an entertaining read. It deserves a slower pace so I will get back with an opinion when I am finished. It might be a few days as I am pretty busy.

Nice pick. I am going to enjoy this ;3
