it’s rooted in a deep understanding of historical diets (going back thousands of years), and spends a lot of time pushing back against modern dietary fads and trends.
if you’re familiar with Weston Price’s work, you’ll like this one. The first 80 pages are all about traditional vs modern cooking methods, and then the next few hundred pages are full of hands-on recipes.
Ah, that sounds good. Based on that, you may dig Sarah Ballantyne's cookbook. Or maybe you will -- honestly, I don't think I ever cooked anything from it, but the biochemistry was fascinating, so it's still my favorite cookbook :)
I don't see this book having much appeal to the typical stacker. I'm reading it because it is a New York tale of incredible government corruption. In my younger days I crossed paths with some of the people in this book, so it's more personal curiosity. However, the corruption recounted here is probably matched and exceeded by governments worldwide, so I guess we all should be aware of it.
I'm finishing up Ego and Archetype by Edward Edinger. It's outlines and explores the process of ego development - inflation, alienation and individuation in the context of Jungian psychology, and connects that basic archetypal pattern of development across its reflection in many various religious and cultural symbols.
If Bitcoiners aren't already plugged into Jung's work, I think it's a natural development for many.
TRANCE Formation of America: True life story of a mind control slave Paperback – September 1, 1995 by Cathy O'Brien (Author), Mark Phillips (Author)
Brothers and Sisters, this book makes Ian Fleming's, James Bond look like a sissy. I look at this a the testimony of both Cathy and Mark. In other words this is their witness and testament.
I know a few things about this subject. When I used to write for and read Maximum Rock-N-Roll (MRR) in the late 1980s, Ollie North, Ronald Reagan and Michael Aquino were regularly discussed and Michael Aquino personally wrote into MRR about his role in the daycare debacle.
This is not an easy book to read if you haven't seen the dark side of government. If you have this book will still make you very upset. The biggest take from this is that famous names are mentioned throughout and none of them are willing to suit because Cathy (still alive) and Mark (dead) had gone to court ahead of time and were told that the courts could not act do to NATIONAL SECURITY.
So, my friends, the book provides documents, names, places and things that one could say was libel but no one will because they might get exposed. This predates the Jeffrey Epstein but some of the names are the same.
At the end of the year, I recommend reading the meditations of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. This book was written in the war camp in Austria during the last months of the life of the emperor, who died shortly afterwards. I wish everyone a happy new year and all the best and success for the new year.
Great book and great author, although some pages can be very demanding. For those who are interested in getting started with stoicism, I would recommend some Seneca's essays, like On the shortness of life. For a modern introduction, I particularly like A guide to the good life by William B. Irvine.
2024 is Orwell’s 1984 updated Winston Smith, the tragic hero of George Orwell’s bleak vision of the future, “1984” had a son – a best-kept secret. He led a carefree life until he abruptly encountered the merciless surveillance mechanisms of the hidden powers: cyber weapons like “Pegasus” and the most ruthless control instrument of 2024: CBDCs – Central Bank Digital Currencies.
This is his story. Welcome to 2024 – an updated version of 1984!
A Naked Singularity, Sergio de la pava
New York. Public defender. Heist. Swords. Cuban Boxing. Physics. The war on drugs. Lots of dry humor. An incredible ending.
Intriguing. I may have to check this out. This got by me when it came out because I was mainly reading nonfiction back then. Did you see the movie?
Did not watch the movie. I read it first years ago. Loved it. Rereading over the holidays. Very enjoyable.
This is a great book summary :)
Been trying some new recipes from Nourishing Traditions, easily the best cookbook I’ve ever read… one of my top overall books from this year too.
Why do you like it vs other cookbooks?

interesting, will check it out. thanks!
Ringworld by Larry Niven. Truly insane sense of scale. Good old sci-fi no bullshit, perfect for escapism.

The 6th Annual Best SF from 1972.
Vintage sci-fi short stories. Awesome.

Connecting the normal with the paranormal using science. Really connected a lot of dots for me.
