 I curl up with this puppy every night edit: im actually finding that id put SICP on the list of books that genuinely changed how i think in general, where it's a strange fit with Chomsky and Herman's Manufacturing Consent, Rorty's Philosophy and the Mirror of Truth, Stanislaw Lem's His Master's Voice, and Ray Brassiere's Nihil Unbound Fergus Mac Roich fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Apr 12, 2015 |

Moridin920 posted:how is the story of the start of african colonialism something that doesn't matter? for one thing the Congo definitely does have a poo poo ton of issues stemming from the Belgians and for another Africa in general is hosed because of Europe and racists love to just go 'see blacks are lazy assholes that's why their continent is hosed.' okay, how is that any more important than the threat of the tyranids or Chaos? thought so, dumbfuck.
