>>11192046i read these books out of curiosity toward ideas that i find disagreeable. i find them all misguided but if you want (bad) recommendations there are;
Not Even Wrong by Peter Woit
Lost In Math by Sabine Hossenfelder
and anything by Lee Smolin
Woot is at least arguing in good faith and Sabine’s book tried hard to steer clear of anti-science crap despite her recent slide into hardcore anti-science. Smolin is very much a shill but he has some credentials. Baggot is a decent writer but he goes too far with his anti-science shit in his books.
