I created this list using AI to help challenge readers to examine multiple perspectives.
Unfortunately, I did not realize these lists become public and allow the community to modify it.
In particular, "Do You QuantumThink?: New Thinking That Will Rock Your World" has clearly been artificially promoted. Others, I can't say.
Enjoy the reading, take the list with a grain of salt.
