A worldview right in front of you

It's just occurred to me, this book list is a worldview:

01 HOLY BIBLE, AV1611

02 HOMER - ILIAD & ODYSSEY

03 WOLFRAM VON ESCHENBACH - PARZIVAL

04 TOLSTOY & DOSTOEVSKY - WORKS

05 CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ - ON WAR

06 SMITH - WEALTH OF NATIONS

07 MONTESQUIEU - SPIRIT OF LAWS

08 OUSPENSKY - FOURTH WAY

09 ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE - DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA

10 GIBBON - DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

11 THUCYDIDES - HISTORY OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR

12 PLUTARCH - LIVES

Imagine growing up in the wilderness of America in the early 1800s and only having these books on your rude shelf, yet it meant that you actually read them numerous times and got them into understanding. Then you travel to the east coast. Are you missing anything culturally or in your understanding? Not only no, you're not, but what you have is truly of more depth and breadth and balance and power than what the usual Harvard or Yale yokel possesses.

You have the most powerful, contained, true worldview a human being can come into in this world besotted with the illusions and delusions of Satan and his phantasmagoria of useful idiots and their by-products.
