List of books I'm planning to read since my list is running down/lack of availability in libraries

Prob gonna get a Kindle and get the electronic version before committing to a physical book

Reason for these books is basically I just prompted Gemini on my thots and approach to life, revert what kind of descriptive it thinks of me and recommend me books of historical figures who have the same life philosophy

but the acceleration is speeding up in a *very* tangible way. not enough people read “machines of loving grace” and took it seriously. it’s all happening.

it gets even weirder when you consider that the average person has absolutely no clue that any of this is happening. that part weirds me out. it all sounds so schizo even though it’s obviously not.

sometimes i wish i was one of those blissfully ignorant normies haha. but it’s all just too fun. wouldn’t change a thing tbh.

When a woman monitors her partner’s social media activity, scrutinizing likes, following, looking for patterns, or when she expresses discomfort with her partner’s female friendships, or when she feels threatened by her partner following models or influencers, or when she uses withdrawal, silence, or provocation to test loyalty or when sheexits a relationship after consuming endless content insisting “if he wanted to, he would.” This vigilance is dignified as intuition, boundary-setting, self-respect, having standards, departure is celebrated as growth.
