One of my students recommended Ishmael by Daniel Quinn‚ which turned out to be my least favorite book ever. After the first half‚ I jotted down some of the reasons why. Here is a list of problems I have with the book‚ most of which are either logical fallacies or just rhetorical stunts that annoy me. replacing the progress fallacy with the doomsday fallacy Quinn argues against the assumption that things
