Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals by Saul D. Alinsky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very interesting and indeed practical. Though the story end in 1971, the book could easily be updated for today's crazy world of waves of disinformation and distraction, if not all out subversion. This was an easy read and worth investigating its ideas. I thought it would put me off, but the exact opposite happened. Try for yourself.

They Took My Idea

Either great minds think alike or somebody got an idea similar to mine:

Tertium Organum Review

See the GoodReads entry here: Tertium Organum by P.D. Ouspensky
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Being trained as a scientist, I had to suspend my skepticism to embrace the author's thesis in this book. The fourth dimension was always "time" to me, but Ouspensky takes another tack. Why should there be on three dimensions in reality? Maybe there are more, maybe infinite dimensions that our sensual (dimension 1) and perceptual system (dimension 2) cannot "see". (Dimension 3 is "concepts".) Nor can our instruments. Why should we believe in more dimensions? How is this useful? You will have to read this very interesting and thought provoking book to find out one take on how to think about higher dimensions and how this can lead "cosmic consciousness", a name I do not like. Sounds too new age-y. My mind did not change but had to adapt to new ideas to finish this one. Now I think about it all the time.
