Übercomplicated

I had to read Herman Hesse, which I loved at the time. Especially Unterm Rad and Siddhartha. Now I hear a lot of people read Tschick, which is quite beloved. I reckon you’re generally right, though; the German school system is far from entertaining.

Fyi, it says “fraction of wheel running,” which isn’t necessarily the same as wheel turning. Still kind of up to interpretation, though; I don’t find this phrasing particularly clear.

I can confirm. It’s gotten better in the last few decades, but it’s still pretty horrific. Much worse than economics. (Obviously it is still a fascinating field and there is a lot of good, interesting, scientific psychology. It just also very much has its problems)

Literally René Descartes, arguably one of the most important mathematicians and philosophers in history, spends most of his meditations trying to prove the existence of God. Religious people can be very logical and believe in their religion for logical reasons, even if you and I disagree with those reasons.
