That Book

Yeah, That Book. The One you make a big deal out of or of not reading.

The Book that induces gross functional illiteracy in opponents and proponents alike; the problems of both being attributed to the Work, as if a material necessarily promotes every referencing work. If this were true, we could blame the glut of over-unity generator patent applications on Physics texts. As if we'd see less ignorance if Newton had just not bothered.

Have you tried reading it matter-of-factly? As a brutally honest accounting of the general state of humanity? As a relatable reference to things we lack the capacity to know?
