"Jumped Chapter to Chapter with this Marxisim of a book with alot of good ideas (Especially if your one Fidel Castro) Still in the midst of Reading it, well it's shelved at the TT Library awaiting to be consumed more. Philosophy at its most equivalent doctrine! Spring Break!"
"This book was a follow-up complement to The Denial of Death. His interpretation of Freud, Marx, and others, has pretty much altered my world view. His ideas will make your head spin. Spin in a Beetlejuice/Rosemary's-Baby kind of way."
"We are not evil because we have an "instinct" to be, as Freud said, but because we're the only animal on this planet that knows it's going to die. And so we engage in "immortality projects", including clobbering people who don't subscribe to our view of the world, all in the name of "purity" and goodness. This is a great companion piece to Becker's Pulitzer Prize winning "Denial of Death". A closer look at the specific question of why humans do such awful things."
