I like the yellow title. It draws me more into the beautiful image. I then read the bottom subtitle and was sold.

Definitely the yellow, more cohesion and balance

Quit worrying already, I am only half-way through and I wanted to save my comments till I was finished, but to me the book is a beacon of hope.

Thanks for writing it. I will comment more when I finish it.

My content is there, but as I've found before, I need weeks of polishing to get a readable result. Thanks for looking.

The cover title should be white. The yellow adds complexity and a "weathered" look.

The letterspacing on your name is too wide, Y O H O, M D especially.

I downloaded once, I will get the update and make some time today.

White is what I like too but the artist and more readers like gold.

YELLOW/GOLD

OK. On the back cover: The subtitle at the top replaced by the book title. Reader comments should have their name or initials at least, to help distinguish them from each other. The quote marks should be typographer's quotes “”, not straight quotes. The copy should be left justified.

T have a look at the new version at the original link. It's polished but still can use some help. Many thanks for your critical eye!!

It's the black pill

Your book is on my list to read! So many Substacks and books and appointments and life, too little time :-)

Scan the first sections then look at table of contents and glance at whatever attracts you. Thanks

Will do, and thanks for the reminder. Your voice is important.

The new version at the same link is better. I appreciate any critique or even superficial impression. I'm trying now to make it less of a rant. The facts speak for themselves.

I am 1/3 of the way through the book, and it's superb, eye-opening and terrifying. It explains things and makes connections I hadn't made yet, especially the China connection. By the way, I am a retired math professor.

It's reassuring that it persuades you. These are the original articles that "gave me the memo"

Try to think of something nasty to say about the book. That's what helps me the most. I know this sounds weird. Thanks! And see the latest version at the link.

I like the weird juxtaposition between the cover and Psychopath. It’s attention catching.

I LOVE the cover. And if I wasn't in the middle of moving homes... truck coming this weekend... I'd have already been reading. As it is, I have not had time in the midst of packing, etc.

I am looking forward to some quieter times in a couple of weeks, when I will definitely get into this.

Sorry: new comprehensive edit as of 6 pm last night.

Haven't had a chance to read yet!

Yellow looks better.

This seems like the consensus.

New edit on bookfunnel as of last night. Best

I particularly liked the Propaganda Realty-Distortion techniques mentioned in your book. They are enormously helpful as well as humorous in a dark way. Thank you for your great work!

Thank you for pushing back against global warming. I know young people enthralled by it, and it is so destructive to them personally.

The globalists have made it a religion.

I’m on chapter 2. Hopefully be done soon enough. I am a slow reader though. I am enjoying it so far!

Expand full comment

I'm still editing. It's my process to edit over and over. This draft is substantially complete but still needs polishing. Thanks for any suggestions !

Expand full comment

I should have said your initial descriptions of psychopaths

Expand full comment

Right now I’m thinking you should edit the psychopath chapters. I’m feeling like it’s too much information. You could get away with distilling it a bit. Less will be more.

Expand full comment

Yes. I cut it in half and re-edited and stuck some in the appendix. Great suggestion. Download the latest version. from the link. Thanks!!

Expand full comment

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. Would also love to hear your take on Desmet in your future posts. That could be a healthy discussion.

Expand full comment

I'll consider this carefully

Expand full comment

Great idea. I stuck the important stuff in the main chapter (1500 words) and the less important in an appendix. I was worried about this issue so many thanks.

See latest version at the download link. Desmet is wrong headed and possibly a shill but I would confuse the message if I got into thst. Thanks!!

Your book, the graphic design and the ideas are important. I don't think people have had a chance to read and digest the material yet. Although we (your readers) are all pretty adept by now at standing on our heads while solving complex calculus equations backwards and reciting the Constitution we are in reality a sorry lot who couldn't nail a proper pun if our lives depended on it.

This is a pretty literate bunch

Great cover, thanks. Will start reading.

Please get out your nasty comments ha. Be as critical as possible. It helps me perceive the work accurately. Best and thanks!! See latest version that I uploaded last night.
