Oh my. I can't believe I'm done with this book. This is a monumental day.

This book came with me to most of my guard duties. This book helped me develop conversations with physics students, with plumbers, with other people from my base. This book helped me avoid awkward conversations with people on the trans siberian railway. This is the book that has sat in my office for two years.

I have been reading this slowly over the last three years, as it wasn't easy for me. The writing was as clear as could be but the pace was much too fast for me. This book means business and man, I do not understand things that quickly.

Ah. I'm done and I swear, I will remember maybe 1/6 of the idea here. This book has a fantastic explanation of Popper and Hume but I got lost in realism and that was it. One day I'll be smart and knowledgeable enough to read this book and understand it all but that day is not today.

What I'm Taking With Me
- I went through so many bookmarks with this book.
- Communism isn't a science because it doesn't have a way to refute it.
- Man, I literally can't remember anything, I'm ashamed of myself
