"Modern science is based on the Latin injunction ignoramus - 'we do not know'. It assumes that we don't know everything. Even more critically, it accepts that the things we think we know could be proven wrong as we gain more knowledge. No concept, idea or theory is sacred and beyond challenge". - Yuval Noah Harari. This blog is a documentation of my journey of enlightenment, knowledge, and the pursuit of physical and emotional well-being.

I Am America (And So Can You) - Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert is both really intelligent and really comedically clever. Listening to this audiobook is engaging, as his quips and one-liners hit you again and again and make you think.
He doesn't directly address politics per se as he did in the Colbert Report or in his Late Show opening monologues. Rather, he tackles Family, Old People, Animals, Religion, Sports, Sex & Dating, Homosexuals, Higher Education, Hollywood, The Media, Class War, Race, and Immigrants, all with the political satire of his former mock-right wing pundit persona.
I find myself smiling and chuckling while listening to this book.
