Maybe you should extend your concern about those 90% books. IMO, they're just as problematic. They're simply less successful so we pay less attention to them individually, but IMO the trend of having 90% of books sold being total BS dressing as science or personal development is a serious concern.
No I'm not referring to freedom. Wild animals have freedom. I'm talking about drive/greed/motivation/moxi or w/e you want to name it. The thing that delivers ingenuity but also locks us into a winner takes all (or as much as possible). I'm speaking at a species level, not an individual (you can moderate as an individual, but as a species we will push every button eventually).
I'm not suggesting a solution, as I don't have one, and would be extremely sceptical of any proposed solution. Doesn't mean we shouldn't recognize it. "Know thyself" etc.
