About the Author
Fourat Janabi's writing style is very blunt, and to the point. He's been told in the last company he worked for, that when he write emails, even though he was not using caps lock, that it seems that he screams through them. He tries to cram as much knowledge, into as small an email/blog post/book as possible for efficiency. We are all exceedingly busy these days. He could write six paragraphs being nice, or one paragraph being blunt. He prefers to write one paragraph. That's why his book, Random Rationality, is "only" 180 pages long despite talking about the meaning of life, God, the Drug War, Nothing, the relevance of politics and how to fix it, Economics, Science, technology, and various other subjects.
The culmination of all this randomness, is Random Rationality: A Rational Guide to an Irrational World.
