You participate in the same being as Terrence McKenna, my friend!
The British Isles were essentially the first place in the world to have a true stratigraphic map, a story told in the book The Map That Changed the World by Simon Winchester
If you're interested in mating behavior, read Vladmir Dinet's book Dragon Songs. Hands-down the best description of crocodilian mating behavior and what it looks like you'll ever see.
The one that comes to mind: The Map That Changed the World: William Smith and the Birth of Modern Geology
I couldn't find reference to a quote, but the phrase seems to come from the education sector, and also this book. I'm not sure Gove said it in relation to Brexit.
I think you'd enjoy this book.
Get yourself a copy of the Nitpicker's Guide to TNG
Vladimir Dinets, a zoologist who had some really cool research on crocodilians and realized that basically, they're smart as fuck and have waaay more complex behavior than the scientific community had previously realized. He wrote a book about it, called Dragon Songs and it's very fascinating.
I am more of a non hyphenated anarchist myself but I think you may like Terence Mckenna I've taken a liking to his stuff. heres a youtube of him
This is a fantastic resource: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/fred-jones-tools-for-teaching-fredric-h-jones/1101454811?ean=9780965026321
How would you like your reality to be? What would be its limits, just how fast or how slow could you possible go? Would you even need to establish limits in the first place, and be infinite, or be infinite finite? Would you like it flowing as chaos, or ordered completely? Permanent or ever changing? Perfect always or changing, with a possibility of making a mistake? What are you own limits? Is god within you or without? What is Harmony? Alchemy is a nice subject to look into; and this book is amazing in my opinion - Psychology and Alchemy by Jung: http://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Alchemy-Collected-Works-Vol-12/dp/0691018316
*answering those questions on your own will set you upon a journey
I have a really great simple, introductory philosophy book called A World of Ideas if you're interested. Philosophy really sharpens the critical thinking skills, makes you think and view the world from different perspectives, and gives you good ammo for an argument. I think it's a great thing for a 20 year old guy in college to read.
If you're not interested in that, I could send you some fiction. I will try to choose something that I think would be fitting for you.
Oh bullshit.
If your understanding of philosophy if limited, then read more. You have no one to blame but yourself for your ignorance of the jargon and methods of philosophy, as philosophical texts are readily available in any book store, and it's not difficult to read only a couple and gain a good general idea about the field. Read a history of philosophy and pick up something like A World of Ideas to start getting a handle on different ideas and movements. Pick some sort of philosophy for dummies book. Read the books that so frequently come up in discussion here. A lot of us aren't philosophy Ph. D.s, but rather took the time to read and become knowledgeable about the subject. If an idiot like me can do it, so can most of the people here. Stop excusing your own ignorance and pretending we're trying to exclude you. If you don't understand, ask respectfully and in good faith. If you want to learn more, read books. Learning philosophy is as simple as that.
