Riane Eisler’s book, The Chalice and the Blade, has the best interpretation of the Garden of Eden I’ve ever read. Basically Eve is the Goddess religions which the snake (Leviathan) wishes to destroy in favor of the patriarchy. And here we are.
Also Isabel Wilkerson's book Caste came to mind during your discussion of racism. Every time I opened it to read it was like facing a blast furnace. A majestic work.
Her book The Warmth of Other Suns about the Black migration from the South to the North the first part of the last century is also a majestic work of passionate, personal scholarship.
That Voltaire quote about absurdity and atrocity is a real true bummer.

Thank you! I'll add it to my list!
