Michael Brooks (8) (1983–2020)

Obviously, as a fan of the Majority Report, I'm saddened of his passing. It was tough to get an in depth understanding of international politics, foreign policy, the right wing assault on America's values and people, and also amazing impersonations. But luckily, before his very untimely death, we were given this book. He doesn't take much time out to go into the horrendous thoughts of Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and Ben Shapiro. And in many ways you don't have to as the juvenile philosophy show more and paranoid psyches of those people don't take much to delve into.

I wish it were a little longer as it would've been great for him to dunk on Dave Rubin (an admittedly easy target), Joe Rogan, and Bari Weiss. But still, it's fantastic, and ends with an optimistically hopeful idea on how socialism, humanism, and an understanding of spirituality that isn't based in fear can be a solution.

Highly recommended. show less
