Welcome to Litsy!

I read this a few years ago and felt it was time for a rereading. This book is magical.

“To sincerely adopt the psychology of tokenism, you have to sell your own community out. That‘s the dark underbelly of the thing. Instead of blaming institutions rules and social attitudes of those around you for the absence of other people like you, you blame your own community.”

also: I don‘t know why the picture is red.

It's fine. At this point in history the Communist Manifesto is more of a novelty than anything else. Discovering that about a third of this plus-sized pamphlet is devoted to shit-talking other leftists really drove home that nothing in it was new or scary even at the time. The Communist Manifesto is, upon inspection, revealed as really nothing more than a single piece of a long running, much more widespread conversation.

And that's a bail! Some interesting stuff, but a lot of stuff so over my head that I was just reading words with no meaning.

But, yay, got a bingo! 😁

Planning to start this in January.Maybe a chapter per week? Does that sound doable? Rather than generating questions which is not a talent of mine,I thought anyone can post questions ideas,quotes,etcI am sure there will be much to question & research about Arendt‘ philosophy,her times, connections to our time.Thoughts? I know a few of you have started this month. Please keep posting! #adventuresinphilosophy #resistence #HannahArendt

Late for the readalong but figured I‘d finish it, and wish I‘d just chucked it. Repetitive but never particularly clear or convincing, Harris just seems to spitballing about something he kinda believes but can‘t convey. Not a great one, and if he were anybody else I don‘t think this would have gotten published at all.

I‘m in that “short audiobook” stage of my reading challenge for the year 🙃 I‘ve been wanting to read this for a while - it was great. Really good book on the challenges of creativity. I took a lot of notes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was perfect guidance for life way

Late posting. I just love this because I take the time to reflect back on the positive -which I especially needed this week-puts life in perspective.
