I have read the entirety of “An ‘Odyssean’ Education” as well as another ~300 pages of blogposts from him, fascinated by how someone with someone who seemingly has formed his beliefs from much of the same literature I have, comes to such vastly different conclusions than me.
I mostly agree with your book review, your summary hit the nail on its head.
An ‘Odyssean’ Education, reads like a rough first draft at its best and like a stream of thoughts at its worst. But that’s alright. Its purpose is to be a rough sketch of Dominic Cummings’ worldview. It gives us insight to why he holds his beliefs and push for certain policies but not others.
I wish I could read a similar document for other prominent political figures, and get a similar understanding of their worldview as well.
