42. so you've been publicly shamed by Jon Ronson (6/10)

Crenshaw is a book I read to my kid...was kindve brutal? was about an imaginary friend....but mostly it was about the kid....whos dad had MS and they were homeless off and on....I was almost done with the book and my kid said...I REALLY LIKE THIS BOOK....right when the kid was explaining to his parents that he wanted to be treated like an adult and be included in knowing more stuff as with regard to the difficult decisions about their finances and homelessness etc etc........which blew me away. but for me personally the shit was wack as fuck lol awesome that she liked it tho and that it had significant relevance to her frame of mind.

better angels was fucking massive....took me like a month ...on audio....mostly cuz id put it down a few times....but overall by the time I finished it I loved it. he lost me on some of the statistical probabilities portions but mostly it was very cool.

thinking fast and slow was great. like Gladwell but with deeper psychological studies and explained in more complex detail.

lastly was the so you've been shamed.....its just him going around talking to people that had their lives wrecked on twitter and fb and just forumulating his own opinions and theorys.....I kept hoping for some type of scientific or psychological studies or evidence but none were produced.....some of the stories were entertaining to read....ie...lady that got shamed into oblivion for telling black joke on twitter about aids lol.....but mostly was just like listening to a completely opinion based 8hr podcast. *fart noise*

Not saying being drunk doesn’t mess up you reasoning. I’m turning 20 soon so I haven’t had a drink ever.
