Wtf is this?

This guy looks like he needs a pie in the face.

Look like he needs a Luigi

It’s so Bill the butcher can say that he’s followed the laws of freewill and let you know about what’s to come, so nobody can say I didn’t know where to look, to avoid it.

Currently about halfway through the anxious generation. It’s pretty good

Why is anyone listening to a word this doofus says

k so let’s actually try to figure out the possible meanings. the image does not show the subtitle or byline of the book, so i’ve added that, because fuck it when you see it things get clearer.

the coming wave – technology, power and the 21st century’s greatest dilemma

the anxious generation – how the great rewiring of childhood caused an epidemic of mental illness

an unfinished love story – a personal history of the 60s.

engineering in plain sight – an illustrated field guide to the constructed environment.

analysis:

first title. there’s a wave coming of social upheaval driven by tech and those who wield it.

2nd title. we have generations of kids who are fucked up because changes in the way society was structured has fucked them up. so right off the bat we have 2 concepts that link together – massive social change and how we handle our kids.

the 3rd book title is not so descriptive that the intention is clear (to me anyway), so i looked into the subject a bit. the author was going on about her experiences as a young person building the shining city on a hill kinda idea. civ building. this idea with the title paints a clearer picture. it harkens to the ideals and promises of seeking a better society, how this challenge is unfinished, a work of love, and as such will still be worked on with the intention of completion, as care tends to do.

the 4th title is about engineering that you can see if you have eyes to see it. and also about how our society is constructed.

so what does this seem to mean? that there is a massive tech-driven change coming, that will affect our kids, whose intent is building a better society, which itself will be more “engineered”, less random, and explicitly constructed. add to that, if we want our kids to ride this out ok, we should learn from the past mistakes such as the 2nd book goes on about.

Books that keep me warm for the winter… So considering they’re recommended by Satan incarcerate, we ought to burn these to keep us warm?
