I have also been able to lean towards a side in inevitable v/s responsible.

1. Is it both inevitable and still they are responsible? 2. Or it was inevitable and they were just an instrument to make it happen. 3. Or it wasn't inevitable and if it were not for some specific people then it would not have happened?

I am leaning more towards 2. But if that is the case why are only specific people reaping the benefits of this?

If it is 3 or 1, then why aren't we holding them accountable?

I recently enjoyed the Dark Profit Saga by Zachary Pike: https://www.goodreads.com/series/207236-the-dark-profit-saga

It was a mix of fantasy & humor. It is a bit long but it is extremely funny & entertaining. It is the first fantasy book I have read other than the Harry Potter series (not sure if it is considered fantasy) but I loved it.

One of the best non-fiction books I read this year was Doppleganger: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/138505710.

I loved this! thanks for sharing :)
I am also doing the course now in my freetime. Even I wasn't aware who he is.

On a sidenote, what did you do after the course?

It is an amazing course though!

What is a book / course on statistics that I can go through before this so that I can understand this?
