books

• The Sources of Social Power: Volume 1, A History of Power from the Beginning to AD 1760

Notes

• History gives us a repertoire of many things
• etymology
  • the history of words

The goal of reading from history, then, is to expand the set of prototypes in your head. Treating history in this manner sidesteps many of the problems we’ve discussed earlier. History is usually amongst the first things to be weaponised in the event of a war
