"Antifragile", and its predecessors, by Nassim Taleb. Really opened my eyes to my own behaviours.



Oh, and Brokeback Mountain.

Nassim Taleb!
Only read Black Swan, but I'd like to read more of his. I also love Malcolm Gladwell

I was forced to read the Bible when I was thirteen. I was a believer at the beginning and an science loving atheist when I turned the last page.
maybe the forced fondle made you hate the holy word

What nonsense.  Women don't have some greater vision than men, if anything, men would have been more likely to evolve such ability, as they were far more often in dangerous situations, being the hunter and protector and all.  Contrary to popular belief, women worry less about danger as they know they can get men to worry about it for them.  And tunnel vision in an airline pilot is a dangerous thing. When combined with piloting an aircraft, driving, crossing roads or operating heavy machinery, the consequences can be fatal.  

ANd their is zero evidence suggesting men are better pilots than women.  Ten out of every 100 Army helicopter pilots are women — but they account for only 3 out of every 100 accidents, and that's from an official army report.

For the record, I never get busted by my girlfriend for checking out other women.

The book was obviously written by pro feminist nutjobs, you know the type, where men are subtly put down and women elevated on a pedestal, that sells millions to feminists and their white knight counterparts who collectively suffer from misandry.

I don't know if I agree with the reasoning given, but women do have a greater peripheral view. And a better sense of smell.

I write my own books. David Icke is a great guy. You are trying to "insult" me by associating me with him. I know him personally you idiot. He has more balls than your entire male side of your genealogical tree were able to muster.

It's feminist nonsense, pseudo science masquerading as fact.

I have no need to insult you, you admit that you think lizards run the world.  Your claims speak for themselves.  I am simply ridiculing your ridiculousness.

yawn .. you lack the balls to reveal your identity let alone speak up for something you believe in

it's easy to be a naysayer but really diffcult to stand up for what you believe is write .. that being said, I meet 10 idiot such as yourself on a daily bases

That's not true at all, I speak up for what I believe in and when I do my identity is known.  Only a fool would identify himself on getbig, it shows a certain naivety.  Wise people protect themselves, they don't expose themselves to unnecessary ridicule.  David doesn't actually believe what he is saying, he is a charlatan you idiot, he is in the business of selling books.  I dare say you hope one day to mimic his success by selling nonsense to the gullible, good luck with that.

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse: read as a young man

Also Zorba.  Worst books a young man can read.  Being reflective is for the old.  Unless, of course, you're Zorba.
