If I trusted Disqus I would post there, but:

  1. Macchiavelli's The Prince

  2. Stoicism

  3. Eric Hoffer's The True Believer

  4. Colin Woodard's American Nations

  5. Jared Diamond, particularly Guns, Germs, and Steel

I would enjoy listening to them discuss these.

I take it you have seen Ryan Faulk's criticism of GGS.

I don't think so, at least not from him. I remember the first time I read GGS I got to the part where Diamond says (paraphrasing) "ackshually, Melanesians are probably smarter than Europeans because Melanesians are more physically active", which isn't even logically sound - all you could say is that Melanesians are smarter than they would be if they lived the lifestyle of Europeans, but that's not the same thing. DIamond just casually saunters on assuming that everyone already believes all groups are equally intelligent. One of my first redpills.

Sit down and buckle up. It's a fun ride:
