Finished the stack on the left, moving to the stack on the right. Please let me know any important reads I'm missing.

I would add Taleb’s work, all books. Also “an introduction to cybernetics” by Ashby.

Fooled by Randomness with some of lesswrong was a great read. Now has me thinking in distributions over samples and EV over likelihoods. I was hesitant to continue the Incerto due to some goodread reviews. How does the rest of the series compare to the first?

Nice! I find Taleb in his books quite insightful, though I’ve come across many who find him repetitive (especially after seeing his twitter persona). The rest of Incerto is more philosophy interpretation ime, but if you’re into technicality you’ll enjoy it It’s ergotic so can be read in any order which is cool
