"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.

Killers of the Flower Moon - David Grann
This book is about the mysterious murders of the Osage Indians, whose fortunes arose from their headrights from their oil rich land, and whose murders were perpetrated by the white criminals who exploited them.
The book centers around Molly Burkhardt and her murdered mother and sisters, a rich white man named William Hale who masterminded the murders, and Tom White, the FBI agent that investigated and ultimately solved the mystery.
It was a really good book. I thought it was sad for the plight of the native Americans, but it was good that the FBI formed and helped stop the killings.
