If you're interested in fake utopian discourse (there is no other kind), I recommend reading abt the Shmoos from Li'l Abner. They just might solve most of our problems.      fuente

Paul Lukas of @UniWatch hipped me to Lost Objects, a book about stuff that has gone figuratively (and literally?) missing. Looks fascinating. From @hatandbeardbks, @HILOBROW's Joshua Glenn, and @notrobwalker.      fuente

Along with the books by @joehagansays and @DraperRobert, I'm a fan of Robert Sam Anson's Gone Crazy and Bsck Again (1981), which is as much about the mag industry as it is @RollingStone. What say you, @MUGGER1955? Gone Crazy and Back Again      fuente
Superabundance book cover
Superabundance
The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet
Marian L. Tupy, Gale L. Pooley - 2022-08-31
Calificación de Goodreads
Can population growth actually make resources more abundant? In Superabundance, the authors analyze the prices of hundreds of commodities, goods, and services and found that, on average, every additional human being created more value than they consumed. This relationship between population growth and abundance is deeply counterintuitive, yet it is no less true. But more people are not enough to sustain Superabundance--people must be free to innovate, think, speak, publish, associate, and disagree. This thought-provoking book challenges our widely held beliefs and offers insight into how human innovation can lead to abundance.

Superabundance, from @cato's and @HumanProgress's Marian Tupy and @byuhawaii's Gale Pooley, is the most important book of the next 20 years, easy. This @kiteandkeymedia vid summarizes its key insight--we're getting more from less--brilliantly.      fuente

Return of the Artisan, by @Grant27, is one of the most enjoyable and important books I've read in forever. Charts the recent past and likely future of lifestyle, commerce, and capitalism with deep debts to @stewartbrand, @AliceWaters, and others.      fuente
The End Is Always Near book cover
The End Is Always Near
Apocalyptic Moments, from the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses
Dan Carlin - 2019-10-29
Calificación de Goodreads
"The End Is Always Near" by Dan Carlin explores apocalyptic moments from the past to help frame the challenges we face in the future. Through storytelling, history, and philosophy, Carlin asks tough questions about human survival and the role of technology in our potential downfall. From the collapse of the Bronze Age to the nuclear era, this book examines issues that are rarely presented and makes the past immediately relevant to our very turbulent present.

Recorded this amazingly prescient conversation w the one and only Dan Carlin of @HardcoreHistory in late 2019, just months before #COVID swept the planet. His book The End Is Always Near is phenomenal, as are his thoughts on legacy media and what has been coming next for decades      fuente

Growing Up Absurd book cover
Growing Up Absurd
Problems of Youth in the Organized Society (New York Review Books Classics)
Paul Goodman - 1962-08-12 (publicado por primera vez en 1960)
Calificación de Goodreads
Growing Up Absurd is a classic of anarchist thought by writer and social theorist Paul Goodman. It offers a sharp critique of the unhappiness of young people as a concentrated form of America's corporate capitalist society, which lacks meaningful work. Goodman's text became a defining text of the New Left and had a surprise success upon publication in 1960, making him one of America's most unusual and trenchant critics. At a time of renascent leftism, his work remains as relevant as ever.

The Counter-Revolution of Science - Studies on the Abuse of Reason. Liberty Fund. 1979. book cover
The Counter-Revolution of Science - Studies on the Abuse of Reason. Liberty Fund. 1979.
Friedrich August von Hayek - 2010-06-30 (publicado por primera vez en 1952)
Calificación de Goodreads
This thought-provoking book explores the abuse of reason in early 20th century France, where a group of thinkers applied scientific principles to the study of society. They concluded that an elite group of social scientists should control social life based on their supposed discovery of the laws of society. The book challenges this notion and highlights the danger of blindly applying scientific principles to complex social issues.

@neil_chilson This cover for an edition of Hayek's best book [imo] raises all sorts of questions, especially abt the drug habits of the designer. I'd go much more abstract if you move beyond text.      fuente
