In my early retirement, I've decided to read at least an hour a night in real paper books. So far, I've read:

- my dad's old college English book (always felt I needed to improve my grammar)
- Candide by Voltaire
- Beyond Good and Evil by Nietzsche
- The Politics by Aristotle

Now I'm reading The Prince by Machiavelli, and really enjoying it. One tip: before invading, look for minorities who will help you because they resent the traditional rulers in their own country. They may in fact invite you in to help them overthrow their own country. This makes me think that the Chinese have read The Prince and are using BLM, gays, and militant feminism as allies in their fight against America.

Re-reading The Franklin Cover-Up. This was written over 20 years before anyone had even heard of Epstein. But all the trails are there. Pedophilia, central government, CIA, drugs, blackmail, Satanism, money laundering by the deep state. These elements are so interwoven, and repeated, the only logical conclusion one can draw is that they were always designed to work together.

I'm reading Epictetus' Discourses.

He had a good insight on why internet debate usually ends in a brick wall.
