A SLI
a-slightly-disappointing-month-of
Unfortunately there were no real standout books for this month.
For December 2021 I have been reading some slightly thinner works and took a break from the philosophy to find some fun ones that wouldn't test my brain too much. And whilst I did enjoy all of these, none of them stood out as something I would remember strongly and be likely to bring up in everyday conversation.
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!

LEAPI
leaping-into-mythology-the-struggles-of
All in all this wasn't my favourite month of reading, but yet the reading will go on!
In April 2022 we covered 5 books on this channel. My favourite of the bunch was 'The Social Leap' which gave me a decent revision of some evolutionary basics. I was also surprised by how underwhelming 'Beowulf' was. I had heard about it a lot over my life up to this point and assumed it was an epic tale that would throw me into a completely new world. However, it was much smaller than I imagined and I really struggled to be amazed by his exploits.
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!

The climbing a mountain analogy makes a lot of sense to me when describing how a greedy algorithm works.

BEYON
beyond-order-(jordan-b.-peterson)-book
'Beyond Order' by Jordan B. Peterson is the highly anticipated sequel to 12 RULES FOR LIFE (go check out that review as well in our channel), which has sold over 5 million copies around the world. I summarised the book as follows. "Beyond Order calls on us to balance the two fundamental principles of reality - order and chaos - and reveals the profound meaning that can be found on the path that divides them."
As always, I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Juan out!

MOVE
move-aside-regulation-bullshit,-progress
Don't stand in the way of this or you might get railroaded .... literally!
'How Innovation Works' by Matt Ridley is a how-to book that somewhat becomes an argument for change. It uses primarily stories from history to illustrate the key thesis, from food to communication to primitive technology amongst others. The difference between innovation and invention is also distinguished with an explanation of the role of the individual thrown in as well.
I summarised the book as follows. "It captures the spirit & philosophy of innovation, if not the science & technical process of how it works. I was surprised by how much emphasis is placed on the hindrances, which almost all come from group think rather than individuals. It's a new book so don't put too much weight into all the stories but I feel it has added to the personal philosophy/hypothesis that I'm building."
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!

CUBS
cubs-other-stories-(mario-vargas-llosa)
The adolescent Peruvian coming of age story seems a tad more intense than most others.
'Cubs & Other Stories' by Mario Vargas Llosa is a group of 7 fictional (but lifelike) short stories mostly involving young men/boys. The titular story is of a boy who is castrated by a dog and then turns into a wild rebellious teen. All take place in Peru with most of them occurring in the capital of Lima. These were written at the start of Llosa's career and were mostly published independently in newspapers before being compiled.
I summarised the book as follows. "My thoughts on books that are 'collections' has not altered in the slightest. Due to the quantity of slang this was a difficult read in Spanish and I'm not sure the English version would have been any more interesting. It wasn't bad but there was nothing within that stood out (maybe due to the young age of the author)."
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!

OTHER
other-realities-are-still-real
Might seem a bit like semantics but it's important to Chalmer's arguments of why we should consider these other realities as 'real' and then what this means for how we interact with them.

INDEP
independent-verification-is-this-true
A problem I encountered with this book is being able to independently verify if the claims of rebirth and deities are true.
