What really struck me about the first two chapters is the authors hopes for the future! It comes off as naive from my modern cynical perspective but he went from seeing horse drawn carriages to cars and planes in his lifetime. Or at least they were relatively new. In chapter three is when he starts pointing out the really baffling real world evidence. My only rebuttal to his thinking is that supposedly the human brain has not evolved over the last 100,000 years and look at what we are capable of these days. @Mastercat @DocWizzle thoughts?

How so so on the charlatanism? Just to sell books?

Yeah, basically.

Are you going to keep reading it? It is pretty shallow for the first three chapters so far.

I'm going to stop reading it, and start on something in that image I posted to s/Occult. I haven't decided which yet. Maybe re-read Prometheus Rising.
