This is me reading my first book. The PDF is available at https://www.linktr.ee/hackingcovfefe .

So, this wasn't an assignment or anything but was for the consideration of a wise old friend that has interesting conversations with my Dad, a lot. I don't know if I sent it to the professor, too, given that I was thinking of these things while reading the course's textbook but... Whatever.

Interesting that here is like the basis of my enthusiasm to reject Marx and call Socialism/Communism as "Christianity without Christ" as why it fails but also that those two concepts, and Capitalism, are only possible in a purely economic worldview such that... Reality could never be Communist, Socialist, OR Capitalist. We try, sure, but that's why Communists create Socialist states that are better described as running like a state-capitalist system.

Regardless, I point out at the beginning that proper Japanese for the concept is understanding would be that the verb of "to understand" in English has an equivalent in Japanese yet that this equivalent is properly used by grammar to say "it revealed itself to me" rather than "I understand it". The "understanding" of English is something that WE force, whereas understanding in Japanese is something that the OBJECT does to US. lol.

Bunch of random things linked together without actually using words to bridge things together.

Essentially, "off-hand comments" that, when read in succession, are supposed to paint a picture. Not sure if I did it properly but, perhaps, the reading over this and giving my thoughts aloud helped make it more understandable?

Dunno. Just reading the stupid thing and bloviating along the way.

It's just content, really.
