That sounds like a good read. I'll see if I can grab it.

You're an idiot.

900 pages? That's a commitment. I'm interested in learning about the Long Depression, though...

I just finished Finding Alpha by Falkenstein. Rather erratically written, but he's on to something there, I think.

You're an idiot.

I've more education than you, a higher IQ and greater experience. Spare me.


ps. I'm better looking.

1 and 2: PhD candidate (MSc from Europe) and 134 (psychiatrist administered).


3: I've lived in Europe and travelled the world, done research in Africa and South America, and was a paratrooper (airborne infantry) during wartime. I've been to the finest private schools and the lowly community colleges. I've spoke at environmental conferences in Europe and trained in Death Valley. I've slept with literally dozens of women and also been married twice, for ~7 years each time (the second time faithfully).


4: Shall we compare looks?

134 is a joke. 2 sigma *****. And I HOLD a PhD in a real field.

guys stop arguing about your internet/academic penis sizes and talk about the ****ing book

[fotodemujerahldesnugdo]

3 and 4 are impossible to measure meaningfully. And 134 is a joke.

**** how did I end up posting in this.

This is funny.

I'm currently reading the Fountainhead. No time for two monstrously huge philosophical books at the moment. However, it sounds interesting but I don't know if it would be above my level--how much prior knowledge of economics does the author expect?

The Friedman book is not philosophical.

[Rounteetepehryn]

Oerdin, stop trolling. Noone believes for one second that you've ever been in a bookstore.

[bppstorr]

Haven't read it. It's on my list of classics that I'm planning to read, but will probably never get around to...

You'd be much better off investing your time in Friedman.

The only thing I'd read by Ayn is Anthem. It's a nice (100 page) story about individualism set in an exquisitely tangible pluralist context.

Her last name is entirely common, like the slurpers at the trough of Atlas.

I'm about 200 pages in. The post-civil war bimonetary (gold/greenback) stuff is fascinating

It's amazing that elections and candidates ran on monetary platforms that weren't identical in practice and different in name.

[TerAlelmlor]

I took a quick look at a description of the book on the internet and jumped to the conclusion that it was philosophical. My bad.

Also, I actually am enjoying the fountainhead. I'm not quite halfway through, but so far it's really just like any other novel, i.e., no explicit message to it. But, in my opinion, the writing is good and the characters are interesting. Evidently not everyone here agrees, but that's why they call it an opinion.

And some opinions just suck once you're past the angsty and narcissisrtic teen years.

You have serious problems if you're reading "The Fountainhead" for personal amusement.
