"To create conditions in which competition will be as effective as possible, to prevent fraud and deception, to break up monopolies—these are tasks which the state can and must undertake"

It’s a silent epidemic affecting nearly everyone:
The Meaning Crisis
We are drowning in bullshit—literally “meaninglessness”
We feel disconnected from ourselves (each other) and a viable future
Alienation without (anxiety within)
So how can you reclaim meaning in your life?
@robkhenderson@peterboghossian Thanks you two for being voices of reason in this wild world we find ourselves in. You're two of the easiest follows/subscriptions to recommend.
@didier_lopes@eladgil@stripepress is the printer. Maybe they can get you your affiliate link? It's easy to recommend most of their library, especially this book.
