To be honest: not sure of the china and usa thing got mentioned by Peter Thiel, was too long ago. This comparison in that comment may just come from my own grey cells. Read and tho shall discover 😆 Started to do something similar recent years... Whenever I read a book that really requires my attention, I read one or two other books in parallel that are much easier to read. Never done that before, always read one book at a time. But it seems I select more and more difficult books to read. I guess I try to stimulate my grey cells a bit more than life does. 😂 NJOY the reads!
