I finished Butler Shaffer's
Calculated Chaos yesterday. Spent most of the day sick in
bed. Read during my awake periods. I was disappointed in the second
half of the book. Lots of words saying that you have to set yourself
free. Once you realize that institutions are the problem, you have to
deprogram yourself from your belief in them, and walk away. No ideas
about what to do when they come after you. Still, worthwhile book if
you aren't already convinced that institutions are the cause of
exactly the problems they pretend to fix.
Sunni predicted yesterday in a
blog comment that I'd be posting lots more quotes from the
book. Well, I found a few interesting paragraphs, but none that hit me
strongly enough, as yesterday's quotes did, to sit up to type them
out.
