RE: My Next BOOK: The Great Masquerade of The New 20's

Awesome idea!

Under "coffee table book" I understand something you would flip through, stopping here and there, instead of reading it cover to cover. So plenty of photos with captions, and maybe just a column or two of text explaining the background (for those who may not remember).

I love the knife's edge topic, which on one hand you want to keep from being too boring, but on the other hand you probably don't want to make offensive either. That means examining every side, including the most extreme ones, and even the fake ones, with a bit of inquisitive distance, of "what some people said".

What do I mean by extreme or fake? I'm thinking of the 5G conspiracy or the notion that the PCR test would plant a chip in you. When it comes to the psychological effects of masks, I would certainly include medieval scold bridles, and modern day hijab / niqab as examples of enforced face coverings. Oh, and of course the obviously pointless rules so many adopted without thinking, such as having to enter restaurants with a mask, but taking it off at the table! And yes, illustrating with pictures and text how mainstream people lost faith in our institutions, while others developed such a blind following that caused public fistfights over masks.

Dang! I just saw that your title focuses on the pollution aspect! Sorry, so I guess that makes my hasty comment completely out of place now. Still I'm going to leave it up, for the sake of honest opinions and suggestions.

Sort:  

Yes yes please leave it up! I jave even struggling with telling it how I see it, versus being a bit more neutral while stating the facts people were calling out.

I love this one. I always felt ssilly ly about that one. Once you're sitting down, conversations flow a lot more than walking through the place!!!

Thanks for your awesome opinion. Loved it.

In my experience people could care less about how you (that is I) see things, or what I think about them. And that's the better case. Else they would get out the "you-are-wrong" whip. At the same time, however, they literally eat up anything that tells them what other people say, do, or even what they may think.

Haha yes, people can't get out of that "you are wrong" whip!!! Thanks for the reminder on what they'll eat up.
