I actually read it in 2002, 5 years before starting ribbonfarm. At age 28. Good age to discover it.

Looks like you'd also read about Transactional Analysis by 2009... "parent-child to adult-adult"... guess I'm heading down a scarily similar rabbit hole...

I read the stuff when it was kinda contemporary, but you clearly are some sort of hipster reading the previous generation’s crap... you should be reading Harari or something maybe 😄

Back then stuff stayed contemporary for 25 years instead of 2.5. We had to lug scrolls of papyrus around.

We collected stupid shit. I recall Disney character soda bottle cap liners being a thing when I was a kid.
