I think this is the kind of books young Egyptians need to read right now. It comes from an intellectual mind who knows how to receive information and analyze it, it approaches pretty much everything: sociology, politics, mass media, science and religion. It is engaging and educating and will sure make its readers question and search for answers.

Good read. I think the contents are important for other people to know and think about.
Many of the topics and issues covered in the book are interesting and well supported (at least this is what I think will be the case with others, excluding me sometimes) with information (but almost no references), examples, (sometimes very biased) opinions and reasoning/good-analysis.
Despite my criticisms and some different disagreements, I DO recommend the book.
-------
Random comments: (I do not really have to define random, or do I?)
- Your book is a collection of articles, not a book. (I know you know that. My point here does not imply a bad nor a good thing, just what I think about the book.)
- I think one should not confuse between what can/cannot be *measured* (either objectively or subjectively), and what can/cannot be *proved*. [How to measure/talk-about human emotions? (from the chemical reactions POV or from how do they feel (subjectively)); sugar tastes sweet (scientifically proved), but how much sweet (sweetness) does sugar taste?; Is there a creator or not! ..]
- Definitions:
Unmeasurable: Not able to be measured objectively.
Immeasurable: Too large, extensive, or extreme to measure.
- "Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that." - Homer Simpson.
The book lacks of "References", come 鈥榦n!
For me, just writing down a number does not tell anything about how accurate it is. (btw the story you mentioned about Neil Postman is amazing) - Sometimes while reading, I really needed references not because I do not believe you, but mainly because: to read more about the topic, my background/knowledge is very limited so I cannot validate or accept what is mentioned peacefully/easily, and/or to see if I will understand/interpret your reference(s) the same way as you did.
- Science has a fuzzy nature of right and wrong. Most people do not get what science, hypothesis, theory, fact, law mean.
- How accurately can you measure things? Accuracy and measurement are inseparable concepts. - (Accuracy is a measure of how close the result of the measurement comes to the "true", "actual", or "accepted" value.) -- Add here other concepts like: measurement error, approximation, tolerance, and precision.
["When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together." - 'Relativity of Wrong' essay by Isaac Asimov]
- 毓賵丕賲賱 丕賱禺馗丕 賮賷 丕賱毓賱賵賲 丕賱丕賳爻丕賳賷丞 -> I had major issues and major disagreements with this article.
- 鬲丕孬賷乇 丕賱丕毓賱丕賲 -> I think this was very important article. (Although you were unbalanced in your opinions with the Television part, but given/considering some thoughts, that is acceptable)
- 賲丨丕賰賲丕鬲 賳賵乇賲亘乇噩 -> was an excellent article.
- No index =/ (seriously really annoying)
- Many of the information mentioned were really good, the examples were too. And I TRULY enjoyed all the historical parts.
- In MANY different contexts, your opinions were very biased, I had many disagreements with the conclusions! - but that is very acceptable for me. -Sometimes I felt confused (lost), no good connectivity in the thoughts, sometimes the examples were not clear enough to tell the message. (still very acceptable for me)
My main problem (esp. with the first two articles) was that I found a stream of (solid) opinions/information, you connected them in a certain way to prove something, and the thing is: I find myself agree with many of the little dots, but not with the whole picture. (Each part of the cell works but alone! -- without the tiny connection(s) or final conclusion(s))
- Is Mathematics the only way to measure things? - [irrelevant, but in Mathematics, there is something called: "Non-measurable set", which ".. is a set whose structure is so complicated that it cannot be assigned any meaningful measure" - Wikipedia. (Vitali set) ]
