I'm well beyond that point. Nietzsche was the game changer from the slippery slope for me. I got into Kipling due to his nationalist ideas and it's rekindled my interest in literature. I can relate now in ways that would have seemed alien before. I intend to read Julius Caesar (Shakespeare) this weekend. I'll be wrapping up Tucker Carlson's Ship of fools today. It's pretty fascinating. Drawing parallels between the modern bipartisan landscape and medieval society.

Alot of their euginics work was faulty. However in the midst of the situation they found themselves in it was rationalized although not necessary. However, in the current era is another story. I wholeheartedly support eugenics now and absolutely see a need for it. With modern genetic research this can be done, however it is a very slippery slope into creating a revolutionary phenotype.
Furthermore Gottfried Feder was correct. I concur that interest is immoral and a sleight of hand trick that leaches power from nations and puts it into the hands of a private few. For further reading you can read Gottfried feder's manifesto of the abolition to slavery upon interest.

I was a kid in middle school that bought the meme. That's how the book is marketed. And there is a bit to it. I'm not just gonna throw it away. However I do recall there are excellent examples in the book you may find useful if you pursue a career in sales or a basic business degree.

No it's not 'pretty normal' to have 25 different copies of one book. If they were different translation i could maybe understand, or if they had one cheap edition for reading and a Nice edition on the shelf, but 25 paperback copies of the same shitty sci-fi novel is not normal.

>somebody told me this was easier on the spine. Am I wrong
Yes, you're wrong. Stacking them vertically does the same spine damage as shelving them too tightly. It's a slow process but don't leave them that way and the heavier the book, the sooner you should move it. Break them up into smaller stacks if you can to take weight off and rotate their positions in the stack.
