Liberalism should be found not striving to spread bureaucracy but striving to set bounds to it.

Exposure to books and media of this type can have a negative effect on you. [...] To counteract this, some of the beings of a higher nature write books or oversee the writing of books that enhance one's spiritual development. View quote

Most chess books only sell a few thousand copies, and a book titled something like "Women in Chess” would sell even fewer. The idea with this title was to spread the book outside the competitive chess world. I'm interested in attracting readers who love chess but play only casually, and feminists interested in male dominated fields. View quote
