Imagine if the government made a billion-dollar offer to write book which ideas would enhance humanity to really high degree.
No, such a thing won’t happen. The smartest people go to the banking, business, engineering or (talking about the West) science.
So there are few books with great ideas. Notably, Steven Pinker writes great books taking you to other dimensions. But he doesn’t do it for money, it’s his hobby, perhaps a moral imperative.
When I was really young I thought the best people go to fields where they can help. Yes, childish things. But now I actually think such things should happen.
Given them huge money, we would have hundreds books with great ideas. Okay, now back to the reality…
