Someone told me: “Video calls are tiring. Voice ...

Say, non-fictional books. Most popular being the self-help books, but there are others that contains transferrable information; others are very science-y, requiring deeper education to understand. Yet, if any of which, books don't tell you everything, and they sometimes clash with each other.

Yuval Noah Harari, in Sapiens, introduced that Gods, Mythology, Limited Liability Companies (like Boeing, Adidas, Tesla), and money (the dollar, euro, etc.) were fictitious entities that we made them up, and collectively believing in its value. Where we lose trust, they lose their value. If the gave and giving money value, those hard currency (gold, silver, and other metals), paper currency, and fiat; and crypto is also a virtual currency, why do we trust the former more than the latter?

You know, comparing countries on their development level, and where they focus to develop, or perhaps not to develop, is a question to answer:Is Development Really The Way To Go?If you look at suburbs that still presume their old infrastructure, not much development in the past decades, they probably preserved lots of good things. For example, forest, nature, parks, and spaces. Or perhaps in some parts of the world, some lands are specifically preserved, like WWII-infested sites, for our gene...
