Anonymous Sun Dec 20 16:33:45 2020 No.17078334 [Reply] [Original]

this is our generation's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, God Delusion, Godel Escher Bach, The Selfish Gene, A Brief History of Time, The Road to Reality, The Ego and Its Own, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and On the Origin of Species all rolled into one.

i'm in awe of its erudite dismantling and reconstruction our systems of value and the causal narratives we have wrongly construed up to this point. the precision with which it obviates the archaisms of theistic and non-enlightenment morals and metaphysics makes its staggering critiques of such systems definitive and final. its unprecedented execution of evolutionary-psychology grounded epistemology is unparalleled in accuracy and profundity. it is a physicalist triumph and tour de force which puts all immaterialist accounts of existence squarely in the garbage bin. the statistics have spoken, and one cannot argue with the data.

i need to buy more copies of it and send them to my co-workers, leave them ostensibly forgotten upon subway seats, and nested in the mailboxes of unsuspecting theologians
