This is exactly how forum discussions go. Someone posts a link to a book, insulting those who might disagree with it's conclusions. Any disagreements are null and void because they haven't read the book.
Good grief.
Right let's all buy the book (using Neal's handy link above, need money for new torps!).
Then we'll reconvene after a suitable interlude to discuss the book.
If you can manage to stop talking down to anyone who might disagree with you while this is going on, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it. It would be nice if you could also get it into your head that it's possible to disagree out of honesty, and not comfortable lazy illusions. So you can can all the talk about golden cows and false idols. Reading it gives me a headache.
Although I suppose discrimination against those with different opinions is right up your street.
