Thanks I'll get it. I am back to reading a bit more.

The Ape who understood the universe sounds interesting. The other one I know.

If I had it to do over, I would have majored in history.

People don't know their history and what a boon to humanity democracy was.

The MAGA folks don't understand that their path leads to a Mad Max world.

<Guns, Germs and Steel' sums it up nicely. Great historical analysis by Jared Diamond.
Another book I am currently reading provides an interesting perspective about why we do the things
we do: 'The Ape Who Understood the Universe'. Evolutionary psychology. Gets a bit deep in the
scientific weeds at times, but overall entertaining and informative.
