I made this thread with a little inspiration from the "pre-destiny" thread.
There have been many influential books and essays which changed my outlook of society and in general "life"; it was Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael" which caught my attention and forced me closely examine how we've been programmed from birth to accept principles and understandings which are incoherent and contradictory.
The book is a fairly well-known philosophical and somewhat inflammatory critique of mankind and it's continuous conquest of earth. Being somewhat criticized, I'm wondering if anyone else has read this, and any thoughts?
Highly recommended reading, IMO.
And finally what have you read, or are reading, that made a significant impact on your world view and outlook?
