    That quiz really didn’t have to call me out like it did. In case your wondering: Messy Perfectionist. It stings but it’s true.

    We all know how it ends. It’s not a happy ending, she doesn’t win. We all know that. But she also does win. Throughout the book she held onto to her core principles, her beliefs, she put Americans first, she never played into the dirty tricks. I’ll probably spend the rest of my life wondering what could have been. But also grateful for her work. This book really helped me understand her as more than just a candidate, more than just a Vice President, it helped me see her as woman in a man’s world, just like myself and many others. The most qualified in the room, but no one wants to let her sit at the table. But regardless of what they threw at her she kept her head up. Truly inspirational. Because if she could handle all that in 107 days, and mind you has had an incredibly successful career besides being VP, I can do anything. Even if it doesn’t always workout maybe you do just have to stand in it. 🙏 I hope she’s proud of her 107 days. Had I known she would have lost, in every version of this life I still would have voted for her. She isn’t perfect, she never claimed to be, but she chose us > billionaires and that means everything.

    I know how this ends. But there’s a part of me that wishes for a different ending, one where she wins. One where we all win. As I read, it makes me hopeful but then my mind flashes back to me crying asking ‘How could they? I thought we were all on the same page? How could they vote for him again?’ I don’t want to keep reading, because I truly don’t want to relive the ending. But I think I owe it to her to see it through. Because it truly is enjoyable. I just hate sad endings.

    What if what goes by the name of innovation is ultimately just an opportunistic exploitation of gasps in regulation?


    This book was really entertaining, though not spectacularly original. I do enjoy very much criticizing tech, so it was a very good read for me. There were some passages that felt difficult to appreciate, too intent on academia and mentioning names I had never heard of as if they were past acquaintances of mine. I loved very much the continuous reminders of sexism and classism in tech! I think it was very good for a superfluous reading, though I'd have liked to see more fresh ideas.

    Review of "Becoming Supernatural" by Joe Dispenza: A Wallet-Emptying Journey!

    Title: "Becoming Broke-natural: The True Cost of Enlightenment!"

    Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

    As someone always keen to explore the mystical realms of mind and matter, Joe Dispenza's "Becoming Supernatural" seemed like the perfect read. Envision a book that promises to elevate your consciousness to the stratosphere, only to realize it's tethered to your wallet!

    Let's start with the good: Dispenza's narrative is engaging, sprinkled with anecdotes that make you wonder if you too might start levitating in your living room. The blend of science and spirituality is like a smoothie - you know it's healthy, but you're not sure you like the taste.

    But here's the catch - just as you're getting into the metaphysical groove, you hit a roadblock. The book subtly shifts gears, turning from an enlightening read into what feels like an extended infomercial for Dispenza's retreats. And not just any retreats, but ones that could rival the cost of a small island! If you’re looking for a gateway to another dimension, this isn’t it. It’s more like a portal for Joe into your bank account. I thought I was buying a book, not a teaser trailer for his luxury retreats. The content? Promising. The hidden agenda? As transparent as Casper the Friendly Ghost.

    This book could’ve been a spiritual odyssey, but it felt more like a high-pressure sales pitch. Imagine my surprise when I realized the ‘supernatural’ part was the price tag of his retreats. The real miracle here is how he makes your money disappear.

    The chapters increasingly feel like teasers, offering glimpses of transcendental experiences that are just out of reach - unless, of course, you're willing to pay the price of admission. The promise of bending reality begins to bend your budget instead. It’s like going to a magician’s show only to realize the only trick they know is making your wallet lighter. I give it one star because zero isn’t an option and because the cover looked nice on my coffee table. If you want a journey of self-discovery, maybe start by discovering a different book.

    In conclusion, "Becoming Supernatural" is like buying a ticket to a magic show, only to spend the entire time being asked to buy more expensive magic kits. It's a journey, alright - one that might just take your bank account to an alternate dimension!
