The ideas in the book are important there's no doubt about that but I wish the author would write so that it's easier for people to read. He uses far too many big sometimes ambiguous words that could have been substituted for simple ones or with words that are more well defined and a lot of his sentences feel like streams of consciousness making it a hassle to read.
