| Jaw dropping read, so well-detailed and yet there are still many more veins for the science of fungi to explore and engineer for global betterment. I hope people read this and take up mycology as a hobby, seems like just what the world needs. | |

| I love "Einstein's Dreams" but feel that Lightman has written the same book a number of times. He is a great writer, but his essays implore the same things from us, an appreciation of materialism and that consciousness is an important current mystery ...more | |

| Maybe the best book on consciousness. It takes nothing for granted but Pollan is honest about his twists and turns to understand how theoretical and objective studies "feel" subjectively, asking more than once, "is x (integrated information, workspac ...more | |

| A very interesting review of the financial crash that helped bring on the great depression. Sorkin does a great job of following the folks from Wall Street and Washington that made it all happen. A nonfiction "thriller" in the best of the tradition. ...more | |

| Not a very good audiobook, many of the examples require the page to keep track of your type I vs. type II thoughts. The concepts are influential but the medium needs to be a paper or e-book to keep track. | |

If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All
by Eliezer Yudkowsky (Goodreads Author) |

| An extremely frightening take on our current phase of development with AI, made even more telling with the various short story interludes that thru storytelling deliver the point of the chapter. For example, the example of the aliens-eye-view of huma ...more | |

“Look- here's a table covered with red cloth. On it is a cage the size of a small fish aquarium. In the cage is a white rabbit with a pink nose and pink-rimmed eyes. [...] On its back, clearly marked in blue ink, is the numeral 8. [...] The most interesting thing here isn't even the carrot-munching rabbit in the cage, but the number on its back. Not a six, not a four, not nineteen-point-five. It's an eight. This is what we're looking at, and we all see it. I didn't tell you. You didn't ask me. I never opened my mouth and you never opened yours. We're not even in the same year together, let alone the same room... except we are together. We are close. We're having a meeting of the minds. [...] We've engaged in an act of telepathy. No mythy-mountain shit; real telepathy.”
