Ron Jonson's "Lost at Sea" is one of the most casual books I have ever read. This book is very good, but the theme of each chapter is different. They all share a common identity - they are what the public thinks are constantly happening. Such as spirituality and whether there are things like demons and exorcism.
I really like this book. It brings us into the many fallacies of everyday life that the world seems to believe. Ronson has quite delicate thoughts and is prone to stubborn sentences, but it makes a book better because those who try to be too objective eventually listen. Up, I found that it was too academic, clinical and dry. I am amazed at the chapter on spirituality, how many people believe that the fraud of this shrine can predict their future life.
I think the West is more open than that. It turns out that this indoctrination and meaningless belief in non-scientific things permeates the whole world. This is a disease and we bear it. Why is this, I can't understand. Are these people not smart enough to delegate their money and time to those who only know that they are completely chattering and gibberish, just because they think so? Some people are just glamorous and exude an atmosphere that makes people scream, yes. But I think I have to draw a line.
The superheroes in real life in New York are far removed from Asian society, and Asian society believes that this kind of behavior wastes one person's time. I found that individualism is ironic. As their superheroes, these people work and are proud of the collective interests. In Asian society, emphasizing community welfare is like being in Japan, and ultimately everyone will think of their own personal happiness. I want to witness some of these real life superhero crimes: it sounds too unselfish and kind.
I agree that the US financial system and inequality are a mess. I found bureaucracy to be a problem. If it only takes a few weeks to complete a simple transaction, things can get out of hand before a proposal or transaction is approved. Inequality is also ironic. We want the richest people to be the happiest, but the opposite is true. I read somewhere, after earning a thousand dollars a year, more money stopped buying happiness, and this level is not difficult to achieve: if I remember correctly, it would cost $75,000. I mean, this is high income, but many people earn so much or more, and still talk about how unhappy they are about their lives, not realized and empty. Living in the city is the most important thing for anyone.
