can you rate this profile and book recommendations based on your library for a personal library app I'm building on a 120-180 scale. please be critical on book recs.

Profile

A curious mind sifting through history's rubble, piecing together shards of fallen empires and forgotten philosophies to build kaleidoscopic theories in dimly lit libraries.

- Intellectual restlessness masquerading as focus

- Obsessed with institutional rot and its perfumed disguises

- Constantly tuning reality's dial between 'absurd' and 'apocalyptic'

- Secretly believes footnotes are where truth hides

Book Recs

- The Mushroom at the End of the World by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing

- Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia, by David Graeber

- The Art of Not Being Governed by James C. Scott

- Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

- The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin

- The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist

out of interest would you theoretically use an app that scanned your library and identified new books to read (actively finding them for you at the lowest price) and sending you occasional notices on book recs via email / app notif.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Many readers buy books with every intention of reading them only to let them linger on the shelf. Statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb believes surrounding ourselves with unread books enriches our lives as they remind us of all we don’t know. The Japanese call this practice tsundoku, and it may provide lasting benefits.

Lmao yeah no thanks

this type of shit contributed to my divorce. i was doing biglol and my wife with a WFH job was irate at like buying redbulls and shit.

if you're earning good money and saving, you are entitled to some modest luxuries. i simply cannot be henpecked for small purchases when i'm saving significantly more than i earn.

In terms of value Red Bull is shitty. It’s a good mixer at the bar but if you need caffeine Reign, Bang and others are all better. However Red Bull is acceptable if you simply prefer the taste or you’re sensitive to caffeine and Monster has too much
