The idea of 'imagined order' and 'intersubjectivity' was very very interesting to me. i find myself using/noticing that concept a lot after reading it

I feel like the books strong suit is it’s able to in depth on like a part of history and then connect it to why things are tdy

Some Quotes from the book that I liked: "In fact, though, Mother Nature does not mind if men are sexually attracted to one another" (p.134) "After those needs are met, more money can be spent on building pyramids, taking holidays around the world, financing election campaigns, funding your favourite terrorist organisation, or investing in the stock market and making yet more money - all of which are activities that a true cynic would find utterly meaningless" (p.104)
"Next time a moquito buzzes in your ear, accuse her of unnatural behaviour. If she were well behaved and content with what God gave her, she'd use her wings only as solar panels" (p.135)
The whole section of "What's so Good About Men?" p.137
I find it very interesting how I really had to think about what really is the truth and what we made up in our brains and if that makes it also a truth or not
