[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9241371, member: 86653"] I’ve been reading some Conan shorts again. Jumped back into the Conquering Sword of Conan and am almost done reading Beyond the Black River. It’s a story very literally about colonization. The white Aquilonians are pushing into the “wild frontier” and pushing back the black Picts. The story has Conan running around spouting off varying levels of racist garbage while helping the colonizers. Finished reading the Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday. Doing that one chapter a day, as recommended, has helped me establish more of a habit of reading than I thought. Just started ADHD: A Hunter in a Farmer’s World by Thom Hartmann. It’s certainly…interesting. It’s a collection of rather loose vignettes that are all supposed to point towards Thom’s thesis: ADHD has to be good for something. His extended and often tortured metaphor comes down to this: people with ADHD are adapted for hunter-gatherer society but the modern world is heavily based on and evolved from agricultural society.
