And I couldn’t possibly agree with THIS more!

That’ll earn a follow from me, Boss.

Couldn’t possibly agree with this more. Anybody who thinks ayn Rand is an elite novelist has simply not read enough (or widely enough) to know what an insane opinion that is.

Infinite Jest, for example, is a far more interesting rumination on freedom in America than anything by Rothbard, Rand, etc etc.

You will learn more about humanity from Shakespeare than from the Mises (all due respect to Mises).

So many incredible conversations about big ideas live in works of fiction or poetry, where people tend not to look.

100% endorse not just reading more but reading outside of your comfort zone. Read poetry, read more fiction, read something you think you might disagree with, read something long.

Imagine how absolutely miserable hyperbjtcoinization will be if everyone just reads and talks about the same five books. note1xd2…v45n
