That emptiness is a very common feeling. Learning and doing more absolutely helps with it, though. Look into the concept of revolutionary optimism a little bit if you start reading again.
Been slowly working my way through le Carré's Karla Trilogy, but slowly starting to hate it more bit by bit. I still think spy stories are better if the setting is the Cold War.
I think now I prefer nonfiction and theory books more now, though, as I continue to learn. Should probably focus more on actually getting through them rather than reading snippets or shorter works as they come up, especially since sometimes I feel I'm not getting the full picture as I'm not entirely confident in my foundation of knowledge. Got a lot of stuff I'll probably have to reread at some point.
Who's the host on this? It doesn't really sound like Breht, and there wasn't really an intro. The show notes link to Cosmonaut, is this a Cosmopod episode on the RevLeft feed?
