I did finish it in English some days ago and will read it in my language again once it’s translated. I really liked it, but it feels either like the beginning to a whole new saga or likea long side quest.

The book also made clear how much elvish literature Eragon read in Ellesmera and how important it was that Oromis, Glaedr and Arya talked to Eragon in the Ancient Language. Galbatorix was not a good teacher to Murtagh, but Murtagh was a good student.

I consider these associations of QOL improvements with mythical characteristics attempts of narrative control, with which religious leaders could exert power over new developments. My assumption is that previously, organised religions were powerful and agile enough in their narrative that those new development could be held in control of the religion, but with the beginning of exponential and distributed knowledge production they were kinda outnumbered and became as weird as they are today. I have no motivation or sources to back this up, though.
Yeah I don’t think people would all laugh, they would help you get back on the chairs as they fear being cold from wet clothes themselves. Those are likely people of all ages.
German education doesn’t actually tell you much about the Second World War and more about the Shoa and the implications of the ideology of National Socialism. Less about military strategy (like Operation Market Garden etc), more about gas chambers and death camps, deportation logistics, systematic dehumanisation. Exceptions are analysis of speeches.
There is this saying ‘people are not islands’ to mean people are interconnected with each other. The literal sense being applied by the last decade and by extension the last semicentennial is weird. The EU is a federation and any country can leave, but I still think Brexit was a mistake.
