".. if nationalism and religion were taken off the table, we'd revert to tribalism within that framework."

It's all tribalism really. Just on a larger scale. We never evolved beyond any of it.

I think dr42 was talking about moving to a radically different perception of the world. Not just bigger or smaller..

I get my recommendations from stackoverflow mostly, so I know the books I read are good. My brain knows the information is legit and takes it all in.

On the internet I spend too long reading short pieces, reviews, articles... A book is nice and LONG :)

I'm a student who learns C#, Java, Php, javascript... at school. I bought "C: A Refence Manual" to learn this summer...

Hope it will make me a better programmer.

I wonder if it was harder on the American or the European soldiers. Going home to a land where nobody knows what you've been through.. My grandfather fought in WW2 and he talked about it all the time. But I feel like he got over it, psychologically. Everyone here did it together.. I think.
