Excellent book. Highly recommended.

Relatedly, I can highly recommend the @jonronson book 'So you've been publicly shamed'

Yes! One of the most influential books I read in college.

Strongly endorse. Great book. @jonathangottsch

The Extended Phenotype by @RichardDawkins. Baffling title (to most folks), but utterly brilliant & mind-blowing book.

John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (1839-1937) was a fierce, driven, smart, ruthless competitor. But also, arguably, one of the first Effective Altruists (with his anti-hookworm campaign). Highly recommend this biography of him by Ron Chernow.

Just finished 'The case against the sexual revolution' by @Louise_m_perry. Fascinating, provocative, nicely grounded in evolutionary psychology. Disagreed with about 40% of it, but highly recommended for anyone concerned about the current dating/mating/relationship culture.

The books 'Human compatible' by Stuart Russell, 'The alignment problem' by @brianchristian, and 'Superintelligence' by Nick Bostrom are excellent. Probably best read in that order (from least technical to most technical).

Good books on the history of specific industries: a useful thread of suggestions, sparked by @TrungTPhan

Here's a great book (2020) by @AthenaAktipis about the evolutionary origins & nature of cancer. Might help understand the problem & guide research.
