I’m writing to solicit any particular questions you may have that I can keep in mind as I read, with a view to clearing up your question having pondered them while listening to the books.
I’m listening to 1 of 3 audiobooks tomorrow (I’m running a 40k marathon so I have plenty of time, and generally if I find an audiobook uncompelling that is a stopping rule for me and I will shift to another book.
Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by Nick Bostrom
Expert Political Judgment: How Good is it? How can We Know? by Philip E. Tetlock
Zero to One by Peter Thiel, Blake Masters
Further, I would like to take this opportunity to solicit community reviews of the book Mindware by Nisbett. I have read compelling reviews:
The book is in many ways similar to Kahneman’s book “Thinking fast and slow”, in that it explains where our reasoning, deductions and inferences tend to go wrong. However, Nisbett takes the extra step of trying to formulate simple laws that one can follow to avoid the psychological pitfalls that people often fall into.
I am also interested to hear Lukeprog style notes on each of these books, if any.
