Ishmael

The conversational format makes complex ideas more accessible, but I wonder if it was also a way to reflect real philosophical debates. Did the author intend this to feel like a personal journey for the reader?

Some parts felt deeply unsettling, especially regarding environmental destruction and cultural practices. Was that discomfort intentional to provoke reflection?

The mix of mythology, history, and philosophy kept me engaged, but I’m curious about how much was researched versus inspired by personal beliefs.
