    I’ve heard of it. I usually read science papers and reports. The books are useful for understanding systems if you don’t already. I try to develop my own understanding or “world model” and related narratives, at at least first.

    Unfortunately, my book reading list requires a few life times so I have to avoid using my time on those who only confirm my beliefs, on those spreading misinformation and conservative stories, and so on.
