    i’m aware of it and it’s on my list; just lower in priority due to the epstein update.

      Shit. That’s very disappointing. This is my first time hearing about it. Guess I’m glad I listened to Understanding Power through alternative means

      The Epstein update absolutely made me think less of him as a person, no exceptions should be made for that kind of shit. That said, his work on foreign policy like Manufacturing Consent, On Palestine, and Consequences of Capitalism are all extremely detailed and well done.

        Gotta separate the art from the artist. And if you don’t want to give that person money because they’re terrible, pirate their stuff.

          Shout out to Library Genesis and Used Book Copies. Sometimes the audiobook are free on an Audible subscription, but I’m not sure how the money flows for that one

            Straight into the pockets of Jeff Bezos. Audible has been owned by Amazon since 2008

        i don’t think anyone doubts that it’s well done.
