You see, Chidi, I can read the entirety of the world's literature in about an hour. This took me two weeks to get through.

Michael, to Chidi, Chapter 3: Tahani Al-Jamil

Who We Are and Who We Are Not: Practical Ethics and Their Application in the Modern World: Moral Reasoning and the Human Paradox of Self-Preservation, in Relationship to the Social Contract; a Treatise on the Value of Universal Equality of Mutually Beneficial Ethical Responses as Applied to Common Everyday Interactions[1] is Chidi Anagonye's 3,600-page thesis on moral philosophy. It is his life's work, 18 years in the making, but it is incredibly circular and confusing, as Chidi kept indecisively revising parts and hedging his conclusions.[2]
