> The idea of humanity returning to a caveman-level of knowledge seems unlikely to me.

Agreed! :)

Also, do you have or maintain a list of great books which you came across ? I see your profile, and you mention "Philosopher, writer and entrepreneur traveling the world."

I would love to see your bookshelf :)



Unfortunately I don't maintain a list (it's on my to-do list), but sure! Here are some good books I've read/am reading lately.

- Nietzsche's Philosophy of Religion by Julian Young

- The Portable Nietzsche by Kaufmann

- A Secular Age by Charles Taylor

- The Art of the Islamic Garden by Emma Clark

- Notes on Culture by T. S. Eliot

- In Praise of Shadows by Tanizaki

- The Qur'an: Oxford World Classics

- On Bohemia by Graña

- The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt

- The Individual and His Property by Stirner


Thanks a lot for responding and sharing your book recommendations! :)

If you start maintaining a list, would there be a way to know that ? Would you be sharing here on HN ?


Sure, if I ever do, I will let you know! I've bookmarked this comment.
