Is the writing good?
“Cocaine Bear” includes such lines
as “An apex predator ... high on cocaine ... and you’re headed right towards
it” and “The bear! It f---ing did cocaine.”
“The Courage to Be Free” includes
such lines as “The failure to robustly wield authority permits the
unaccountable leviathan to metastasize.” (This is a description of the federal
government.)
…
What kind of things would you
text your friends while you consumed it?
“Cocaine Bear”: “cocaine bear is
phenomenal”
“The Courage to Be Free”: “This
book will never end. Yet is somehow only 262 pages long.”

“[We should] give children a window into the real past, as
the people living there saw it, rather than compress their reading material
into an eternal now. If our moral ideas are so self-evidently correct (and to
be clear, I think that in many cases they are), then it should be easy to train
children to recognize the past’s mistakes. In the process, we can teach them
that even people they love and admire are capable of grave errors.”
