Some anon mentioned it in the essential books thread and I'm interested in rationality so that's why I'm asking.

>essential books
i bet he also said "thinking fast and slow" and "nudge" was an essential book as well, before he invited you to a "rich dad, poor dad" seminar

here have an actual essential book and never post your book again, Yudkowsky

I will give it a skim through the next couple of days and return back. So far author bashes emergence and seems to be coming at things from a semantic perspective. It looks fine, but it is a bit like a list of logical fallacies. It won't really give you insight, but just shows all of the ways things go wrong. I don't see how this would make someone more rational except for a neat-o bird's-eye view of common blocks to insightful questioning.

Why didn't you ask in that thread then? Why make a new one just to shill the book?

That thread got derailed into talking about what it means to be a normal person.

I haven't read that book but I unironically do think the LessWrong sequences made me more rational
