If you are a lion, do everything early in the day. If you are a bear, do everything in the middle of the day. If you Let me break this down for you...
If you are a lion, do everything early in the day. If you are a bear, do everything in the middle of the day. If you are a wolf, do everything in the evening or at night. If you are a dolphin (insomniac), forget it you’re effed.
There. You don’t have to read the book.
Aside from the scientific part of this book, that basically your internal clock is set by genetics and is something you really can’t change, the rest is ridiculous! I’d have to make a complicated flow chart on when I would do every little thing. Also, I would have to know what animal the people I’m dealing with are.
I’m a wolf... night person goddamn it. If I didn’t have a clock to guide me I would likely go to bed at 4:00 am and get up at noon. I bet you rolled your eyes reading that and thinking I’m some sort of lazy person, but I get more done after 9:00 pm then those lions or bears do.... sleeping in their beds and all. The world is set up for the morning folk though and that really sucks sometimes. Seriously, if I have to be anywhere before 10 am it’s a hardship. I may physically be there, but my brain will not be functional.
Most people have figured this out themselves and really don’t need to read this book. ...more
I was born in the mid sixties, and I don’t recall anyone being overly religious. I don’t remember any of my classmates talking about Jesus, unless it I was born in the mid sixties, and I don’t recall anyone being overly religious. I don’t remember any of my classmates talking about Jesus, unless it was in reference to baby Jesus and we were doing a school Christmas play.
Our founding fathers were almost entirely atheist, hence the separation of church and state that they made damn sure to put in the constitution. They experienced religion mixed with government first hand and knew it was a craptastic idea.
Recently, Jeffery Beauregard Sessions, the ‘attorney general’, and Sarah Hucklebutt Sandforbrains, the person who lies and lies for the *president (aka press secretary), quoted bullshit from the Bible to somehow justify kidnapping young children from their parents and put them in cages. CAGES! Just because they are brown.
What about the separation of church and state? Quoting the Bible in font of cameras as representatives of our government? What the fuck?
How did we get here? How did we get from a Democratic country formed by reasonable people (well, kind of reasonable. There that whole slavery thing that they were fine with) to the fascist, wannabe dictatorship that seems to be where we (the US) find ourselves at the moment?
Fantasyland explains it better than any book I’ve read on the subject, and I’ve read a lot of them. I had numerous ‘aha’ moments.
Kurt Anderson takes us back 500 years and walks us forward to the present day, illustrating our slow but sure decent into fantasyland. From mysticism, crystals, UFOs, Oprah, Scientology, science fiction, theme parks, video games, virtual reality, dressing up as your favorite cartoon character in public as a grown-ass adult (LARPING), to **electing a cartoon *president. It was inevitable.
I highly recommend this book..... it’s fascinating. Five stars.
*illegitimate, criminal, ugly, moronic, immoral, disgusting, child-stealing creep. Not actually the president.
