| The only real problem I had with the book was the [[ideas:wooshit]]. Some of that was [[ideas:artifact of language]] and some of it was probably just sloppy word choice but there was another of it that I think Angelo's probably got some lefty ideas about [[ideas:emotions]]. I think he gets emotions almost entirely wrong, despite often saying the right thing. For instance, he says "an emotion doesn’t have a truth value" and then says repeatedly that emotions have "a right to be" and are "valid". Depending on what he means by that I might agree but it's still sloppy lefty shit that puts emotions on a pedestal. Emotions are like thoughts, they're brain noise that you should acknowledge but not take at face value. Angelo actually has a great metaphor where he says you should treat your thoughts as if someone had handed you a piece of paper with the thought written on it. This works great for emotions too. | The only real problem I had with the book was the [[ideas:wooshit]].

| FIXME - why is the TOC not showing up? It would be useful since this is so long. Apparently something with the ad-hominem theme. Fuck, why can't things just work? So now I'm on the bootstrap3 theme and TOC works but it doesn't show the whole thing at the top and when you scroll down a bit it hides itself. To really use it you have to click Commentary and then unhide the TOC. Fuck. Double fuck! Bootstrap3 isn't showing bullets in unordered lists and I use the fuck out of unordered lists. Why can't shit just work! <wrap lo>I'm not really mad, I'm amused, but also annoyed.</wrap> | |
