Best take on the book question that I have read so far. There is non-fiction that contributes to your life and career, and then there's non-fiction that has nothing but entertainment value. Normies think that any kind of reading, including fiction, is automatically worth your time or somehow impressive, and to counter that is where the take that "less is more" has actual value. Also Borzoi's ever valuable counter "when did you last read a non-fiction book?"

maybe take a look at biophysical economics; a good starting point would be "energy and the wealth of nations" by charles a.s.hall. its data driven textbook. another one would be "cognitive capitalism" by heiner rindermann. those two books together have a lot more to say about economics than most of the usual macro micro econ garbage

Could try this book and see if you could win this prize: https://biohistory.org/jims-world-model/

For some reason the book is about epigenetics nonsense instead of heredity. The fact that the author went on to start a large conglomerate in Australia makes it more interesting.

What do you think about "The Collapse of Complex Societies" by Joseph Tainter?

looks very blank slatist. We know with high certainty dysgenics is a major factor in collapse. I don't see this discussed in his book. Any serious theorist must at least consider and engage with the role of dysgenics in this kind of thing

I can’t understand why people read bad books . After a 5-10 pages at the most you realise it’s bad and you put it away ?

Someone who already knows HBD won't get much out of reading Human Diversity.

Try "Day of the Rope" for fun, by Devon Stack (Blackpilled). He was inspired by the "Turner Diaries." A fun quick read for when you hate hard.

"Culture of Critique" by Kevin McDonald - read that one yet? Anything by Germarr Rudolph? Thomas Dalton? David Irving's "Churchill's War," also very good - with impeccable citations. "Hamlet's Mill" - co-written by the chair of the history of science at MIT in the '60s - a very, very good read, and you'll want to take your time on that one.
