You can call me Xenia (yea like the Linux mascot - unfortunately I'm not the most creative) or Raven or Vix, I'm not the most decisive either. As the user name suggests I am quite a strange lil fox-thing. I mostly read lit-fic, political/economic theory and Maths or CompSci stuff and the occassional urban fantasy, though really anything may pop up here!
If I say something silly or annoying or you otherwise want to get in touch you can find me at: voidadjacent@proton.me Though I may be a bit slow to respond!

Interesting, it appears many are more centrist (I have many opinions on the term centrist and how very right leaning they often are) than i thought still worth reading I think in order to understand the state of things.

Rather basic in notion but a very quick read and a good primer I think in the type of language translation and time have produced before moving into the larger works such as Capital.
The essential guide to statistical science in the age of big data, from the President of the Royal Statistical Society.
…Arianrhod balances effortlessly the line of explanation. This book is about history and creativity and while a good deal of concepts are needed for the understanding of how one thing leads to another - each is brushed against with enough detail to see the path of development but not so much that the experience becomes tedious or alienating; it may even pique enough curiosity to dive into new fields!
Genuinely very interesting!
Page 90: quite interesting so far - while not as in depth in this regard as I had expected - more time than usual (none in some textbooks I have read) is given to explore non Eurocentric developments in the field
Do you think your insurance policies protect you from life's many mishaps? Your insurer's main …
Fascinating book, many good points. Though in my personal opinion it is flawed in its fundamental premise, considering as stated in the introduction it presupposes a world in which pure capitalism is the only viable system thus meaning insurance is entirely necessary and therefore must be improved upon. I believe this is false and that when a more equitable system is put into practice the problem can be solved at the root by removing the insurance industry in its entirety (through public housing, medical care, ubi etc) by human rights and needs being in their essence met. This does not mean there is nothing to be learned from the book, that would be an entirely useless statement for there is something to learn from everything and i do recommend reading
