This book is better than I thought!
How can we avoid the similar mistakes those farm animals made?

1. Don't be lazy
We need to learn, think and discuss things together, when life is good.
Bad days may come anytime.
Hard work itself is not enough. It doesn't guarantee good life in long term.

2. No one should be stay in power for too long time

3. Need check and balance of power
Only ambition can go against ambition.
Independence of justice system is critical.

4. Democracy has its own weakness
"Tyranny of the majority" is real. That's how the benefit of cats and dogs are sacrificed by admitting rats are friends.

5. Education is also critical
Nazies and extremists are formed when they were young.

One bug of this book: everyone is Napoleon. The whole society is based on game theory.

It doesn't matter two legs or four legs. The correct question is: oligarchy or democracy.

How do we know that we get fair cut of our work? Not too less, and not too much? Or, it doesn't matter if the reward is in some (large) range?

Study In this level, you can clearly compare the content of the book with your own knowledge system and incorporate it into your own perception. In this way, the book will not be easily forgotten. However, a few years later, if you ask him/her: "Two years ago, you mentioned that book was very good and you learned a lot from it. What do you think the content of that book has had on you in the past two years?" ...
