"I pray," said Apollonius, "that
righteousness may rule, the laws remain unbroken, the wise be poor and
others rich, but honestly"
I DISAGREE. There should be wise people who are also rich, in my opinion. The rich should be wiser, on average, to make the government more beneficial.

Natural Theology by William Paley
I've finished listening to this #audiobook yesterday. I've listened to it for 3 reasons:
- it is a classic
- I already recommended it to the readers of my #ebook
- I am generally learning (building myself) in the areas of Natural Theology and Parapsychology in these days
However, after knowing the works of Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins, this audiobook did not have a huge effect on me.

Apollonius of Tyana, the Philosopher-Reformer of the First Century A.D. by Mead
I've finished reading this #ebook today. I read it because I've read somewhere else that Apollonius resurrected someone, like Jesus, and lived in the same age. Interesting things to remember:
- Apollonius was not only #vegetarian but his clothes and shoes were also not made of animals
- Apollonius and his followers took a vow of silence for some years while learning

The Book Of Jasher
I've finished listening to this yesterday. If it is not a counterfeit, then this book is mentioned in the Bible (I'm not sure if this is the only claim for this title), and it covers the time of books of Moses (especially the Genesis) and Joshua in a different way. The fighting skills of the Hebrews are quite unbelievable in it, for example. It considers some artifacts powerful, like the wand of Moses or the garment of Nimrod.

I have made some GeoGebra materials while working for that firm.

Mistakes of Moses by Robert G. Ingersoll
I've finished listening to this #audiobook yesterday. It has some good arguments I did not include in my own (e)books. E.g.
- How could the people of Israel proliferate in Egypt so quickly? "We know that seventy people could not increase to three million in two hundred and fifteen years."
- What did the domestic animals of the people of Israel eat in the wilderness (at the time of the Exodus)?

There is a #game in #Ubuntu Linux called "Fish Fillets" (it is a port of an older game for Windows) that I can praise now. It's much better than Sokoban or Chess, because it is relatively easy to write #AI for those, but when playing "Fish Fillets", thinking is less mechanical and more creative. I guess it is the best logic game ever. I would like to finish this game before I die, but many other things have high priority, too.

The Gutenberg Project of the USA (gutenberg.org) is well-known, I even follow them on Mastodon. However, I've found a similar but different project in #German and maybe I'll read #ebooks from there, too, because my advanced English-language exam was successful, so I'm going to improve my skills in another #language ... However, it is sad that I can not download the ebooks from there, but only read them in the web browser, so it is a bit inconvenient.
