A thread on my 2020 read list.
2019 read list link below.
Broke 2020 read list into 3 parts.
1) A philosophy I admire.
2) A topic I& #39;m fascinated about.
3) An author I& #39;m curious about.

So on
1) On Philosophy. Stoicism is the school of thought.
2) On topics. Game theory.
Reading mostly Matt Ridley and Thomas Schelling.
3) On author, I& #39;ll be looking mostly at the works of Rene Girard. Peter Thiel gives a glowing recommendation. So....¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Discourses by Epictetus opens the door for me into the world of stocism.

A great way to kick off the year& #39;s reading campaign. The school of thought has interesting nuggets when it comes to one& #39;s view on self and uncertainties.

The lockdown provided ample time to read the texts.
How divergent this is from anything I& #39;ve read is fascinating.
Looking at collective murder from the scapegoat& #39;s perspective is brilliant.

The view at the subtexts that governs humans interactions, in this instance tailored towards collective murder especially in religious and mythological texts is

Up next. Seneca& #39;s letters from a stoic. Seneca tries to make Stoicism more reletable. The Discourse is a more friendly read.
