Stopped reading at "There are more you should value more than possessions –God..."

  Hello, I am the reader and actually this is exactly what the author has written. I quoted directly from him and I also took this idea from the book. You better not read PG's essays, because he also uses the word "God". https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=site:paulgraham.com+%22god%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q... It is quite interesting to see you are irritated of something I believe and understand from the book.

    Apologies. I didn't realise it was a direct quote. And point taken about PG's mention of the word "God" in his essays.

    Then it seems to be plagiarism, not a summary of your key takeaways. Your Google link unfortunately disproved your point.

      Yes, I may have apologised in haste.

      Quotation marks added later. Good call on that I guess.
