Are you me? I got to the part slightly past that where she and her mcsleuth buddy find an abandoned warehouse and discover a device she had never seen before but immediately recognized as some perpetual motion device. I stopped there. Please help. Does the reveal make it worth it or what.

Looking for a spin off, but more of The Fountainhead? Try Murder By Pizza. Instead of a white collar architect, it is about a blue collar pizza chef.

John Galt is more than worth it. Keep going and finish the whole thing. He has a great rant/speech at one point and towards the end he does something i thought to be pretty awesome.

skepticism toward teleology

Wait, so what occurs now that is incorrect, and what should occur? What are they doing wrong? what do you think is missing, I dont know exactly what you mean by evo psych what it entails, what would be different?

He's supposed to be an exceptional playwright, I think he's forgotten now though outside of europe.

Haven't gotten around to him yet but I've bookmarked a few of his play collections I've been meaning to get around to.

Lenin, Stalin and Hitler. The Age of Social Destruction - Gellately

I don't want to start a whole new thread for this question and I don't see anything appropriate in the archive.

Any suggestions on current world affairs? Budding International conflicts, Trade deals affecting the global economy, U.S. foreign policy interests, etc

You're searching for something impossible. Unless you mean temporary happiness. You aren't going to be permanently happy though.

It's a shadow and chasing it will always lead you to a dead end eventually.

I liked the Favorite Game quite a lot, more due to relatability than literary merit though.

Poems are often great, fiction worth a read. Favorite Game is a more straightforward semi-autobiographical read, but Beautiful Losers is a crazy experimental trip, very post-60s. Here's one passage:
God is alive, magic is afoot
God is alive, magic is afoot
God is alive, magic is afoot
God is afoot, magic is alive
Alive is afoot, magic never died
God never sickened
Many poor men lied
Many sick men lied
Magic never weakened
Magic never hid
Magic always ruled
God is afoot, God never died
God was ruler
Though his funeral lengthened
Though his mourners thickened
Magic never fled
Though his shrouds were hoisted
The naked God did live
Though his words were twisted
The naked magic thrived
Though his death was published
Round and round the world
The heart did not believe

Many hurt men wondered
Many struck men bled
Magic never faltered
Magic always lead
Many stones were rolled
But God would not lie down
Many wild men lied
Many fat men listened
Though they offered stones
Magic still was fed
Though they locked their coffers
God was always served
Magic is afoot, God is alive
Alive is afoot

Alive is in command
Many weak men hungered
Many strong men thrived
Though they boast of solitude
God was at their side
Nor the dreamer in his cell
Nor the captain on the hill
Magic is alive
Though his death was pardoned
Round and round the world
The heart would not believe

Though laws were carved in marble
They could not shelter men
Though altars built in parliaments
They could not order men
Police arrested magic and magic went with them
Mmmmm.... for magic loves the hungry
But magic would not tarry
It moves from arm to arm
It would not stay with them
Magic is afoot
It cannot come to harm
It rests in an empty palm
It spawns in an empty mind
But magic is no instrument
Magic is the end
Many men drove magic
But magic stayed behind
Many strong men lied
They only passed through magic
And out the other side
Many weak men lied
They came to God in secret
And though they left Him nourished
They would not tell who healed
Though mountains danced before them
They said that God was dead
Though his shrouds were hoisted
The naked God did live
This I mean to whisper to my mind
This I mean to laugh within my mind
This I mean my mind to serve
Til' service is but magic
Moving through the world
And mind itself is magic
Coursing through the flesh
And flesh itself is magic
Dancing on a clock
And time itself
The magic length of God.

F-16 Semi-auto AR Rifle?

>>8714545
Fair guess, I can see why you might think that, and I've gotten it before. It's not semi-auto, and it's not an AR. Also, in that pic appears to be an MP5 variant of some sort. Doesn't look like a Navy receiver though; only 3 settings from what I can see, not 4.
