The Other Side of the Mountain by Michel Bernanos.
Pretty damn cool and somewhat obscure weird fiction from the sixties. It's also quite short so give it a try. Part one is pretty normal yet...

You'd have to move to Germany and if you did that you could probably just enjoy the socialism and not work.

Don't stone me to death for blaspheming against your little obscurantist buddy.

Thanks.



Not in depth yet, just some quotes here and there. I was unimpressed by Nagel's approach to the topic and thought Dennett was much more on point. Might be biased though, knowing Nagel...

I now work in Quality Planning and it's incredibly chill. But it's also a gigantic company so things move pretty slowly and relaxed anyway.
