Utopia for Realists

This book by Rutger Bregman was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Joe Rogan. The people who vouched for it on air: Jack Symes. It comes up in conversations about consciousness, psychedelics. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

From a universal basic income to a 15-hour workweek, from a world without borders to a world without poverty, it’s time to return to utopian thinking. Rutger Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come. Utopia for Realists is one of those rare books that takes you by surprise and challenges what you think you know.

• “Rook bregman points out wonderfully in his book Utopia for realist that people that come to the US for example first generation migrants are less likely to commit crimes”

  Why it counts as a recommendation: “points out wonderfully in his book”
