Scalpel: On First-Order Truth
This book was not written to persuade you.
It was written to stop persuading myself.

It speaks about truth, around truth, toward truth.
It explains, justifies, excuses, frames, redeems. Read more from here...

The Ronie Dinosaur Manifesto: I See You It has been a monotonously vast and monstrously cruel life.
Age is a shallow ruler; it cannot gauge the true depth of a soul, nor the savage amplitude of its emotional tides. I have lived at the summit of the Himalayas and in the crushing black of the Mariana Trench.
Life itself was my tutor, teaching me the brutal price of being in the wrong place at the wrong moment. I learned the cold gulf between power, money, and status-and the fragility of innocence. I learned that golden intent can still yield only lead. Character does not guarantee reward. And my love-a clean vessel-poured itself out and received nothing in return.
To hell with it all. I got nothing back.
She took mine and never returned it. Read more from here...
