Four major political changes that he was correct about and other aspects that he was completely wrong about, because of his conflation with Democracy and Whiteness... just like the non-profit Freedom House. Also, this book took longer than expected to finish.

Kishori Saran Lal’s book, “Growth of Muslim Population in Medieval India” stands the test of time: Islamic Conquests almost certainly did lead to a death toll of approximately 60 – 80 million Dharmic followers in India
Growth of the Muslim Population of Medieval India was absolutely fucking amazing to read and it is such a shame that its no longer in physical circulation in English.

Biblical Womanhood: A Study Guide by Lori Alexander / The Transformed Wife
“Reverence means “fear mingled with respect and esteem.” A godly woman fears God and knows His ways are superior to her ways even when they don’t make sense and don’t appear to be working. She keeps her eyes on the eternal rewards by living in obedience to the Lord with His Spirit working mightily within her. Her greatest desire is to glorify God in everything and store her treasures in heaven, therefore, she continues to reverence her disobedient husband and prays for his salvation.” – Lori Alexander / The Transformed Wife, Biblical Womanhood: A Study Guide, Page 73. Kindle Edition.
Dine bahane’: The Navajo Creation Story paraphrased by Paul G. Zolbrod.
I had meant to publish this review earlier this Monday, but only managed to complete it now on Friday the 13th... so... Please enjoy!
Aztec Philosophy: Understanding a World in Motion by James Maffie
I would not be surprised if this is the most in-depth research on Aztec philosophy thus far.
Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson: I Quit this Absolute Failure of Worldbuilding and Plot
What is the point of writing sexual scenarios, but not having the maturity to show scenes of either sexual intimacy or sexual violence? This is an absolute failure of a book.
Religion is Dying by James A. Haught is a Poorly Formatted Mess
First and foremost, this had to be one of the worst formatted books I have ever had the displeasure to read on Kindle. What kind of idiot decides to make every chapter into a shortened font size with exclusively Bold text? This was an eyesore to read. If, like me, you’re still curious and wish … Continue reading Religion is Dying by James A. Haught is a Poorly Formatted Mess
The Myth of the Dying Church by Glenn T. Stanton is a trainwreck
The Myth of the Dying Church by Glenn T. Stanton is a trainwreck of exaggerated claims, bigotry towards Christians, and an appeal to Collective Insanity.
In Search of Dracula by Raymond T. McNally and Radu Florescu
Despite contemporary books, like Elizabeth Miller’s The Dracula Handbook, rightfully pointing out clear failures in connecting Bram Stoker’s supposed knowledge with the historic Vlad Dracula and – to a lesser extent – pointing out certain historic inaccuracies regarding supposed Dracula Castles, I found this to be an enjoyable read overall. The only other criticism I’d … Continue reading In Search of Dracula by Raymond T. McNally and Radu Florescu
The Curse of God by Harris Sultan is a Half-Assed Mess
If anyone picked this up, read the first three chapters, and concluded that it was all rubbish then they would be well within their rights to do so. While there is a good display of competence and critique in the latter 6 chapters, they’re spaced quite horribly and jarring to read.
Infamous Lady: The True Story of Countess Erzsébet Báthory: Second Editon by Kimberly Craft
Evidently, the only lie about this woman’s tortures of innocent little girls was the claim about bathing in their blood. That was made-up approximately 100 years after her death. Everything else about her tortures seems credible.
My Completed Reading List of 2020 + An Early Goodbye / Good Riddance to 2020
One of the perks of a Pandemic is I managed to finish reading longer books this year.
The Importance of Racial Integrity by Anthony M. Ludovici: General Impressions
I need to bleach my brains out from the sheer stupidity that I just read. I can only blame myself for having the curiosity to read this dumpster fire. Alas, for every Nietzsche, Gautama Buddha, and Hitchens; there’ll be a Ludovici, a Jesus Christ, and an Armin Navabi.
Letters to a Young Contrarian by Christopher Hitchens
“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.” - Christopher Hitchens
Steins;Gate 0 (PSVita Visual Novel) Review and Impressions
A brilliant sequel to a brilliant story.
Steins;Gate (Visual Novel on PSVita) Review and Impressions
A slow-paced story that ultimately has amazing characters, plot, narrative, and endings. Definitely worth reading/playing for Visual Novel fans.
Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill
This fairly short book has struck me with how John Stuart Mill absurdly contradicts himself every step of the way. Perhaps that sounds harsh, but I honestly expected more than what the contents provided given how lauded this philosophy is and how celebrated John Stuart Mill is in history. This work was suppose to be … Continue reading Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill
Intellectual Cowardice: Western Indology is Promoting Genocide Denial Of India’s Past
I feel this is an important issue to highlight, because Western Academia seems poised to just ignore painful truths of history, even if it means genocide denial for the sake of treating all religions as equal. After learning more about the issues within Islam, I had to re-evaluate what I thought was true from US … Continue reading Intellectual Cowardice: Western Indology is Promoting Genocide Denial Of India’s Past
Thus Spake Zarathustra Review
Nietzsche's philosophical novel was an amazing read. At the time I began to read it, I hadn't really been captivated by a novel since the Harry Potter series (which I love) and I found most fantasy stories to be really boring. I didn't expect much at the time, it was mostly curiosity in relation to the game. I suspected that I'd find it boring. To my surprise, it was initially quite a laughable read.
