[!@#$%!]

now, about this book i mentioned above

the first part and the whole history of the world until ww2 i got, even if i thought that he was stretching metaphors and oversimplifying a bit. but okay. he's all about the value of generalists. so i'll allow it--great pirates, fine, i get your meaning.

but when i hit the chapter about general systems theory however i felt like i was being conned by a flimflam artist. i don't know what the fuck he's really saying. it's like he makes these leaps of thought and we're supposed to follow him because he's being obscure. i don't think so.

so i'm taking a detour and started reading about general systems theory on the side, to see if he's making bullshit claims. i'm okay if he wants to stretch metaphors for a reason, but he seems to get overly esoteric on this chapter for a proclaimed "generalist" and i can't trust what he's saying.

hmmmm....

needs deciphering.
