Bryan CaplanHowie Lempel@lxrjl @NathanpmYoung @bryan_caplan @EgeErdil2 And I think he's got some credibility here given his condemnation of the "oppression of the Italian government" and years of advocacy for open borders.

Stubborn Attachments: A Vision for a Society of Free, Prosperous, and Responsible Individuals
Tyler CowenHowie Lempel@michael_nielsen @lukeprog @albrgr @MWCvitkovic In most ways it's one of the most EA-adjacent books but it might be interesting to read Stubborn Attachments through the lens of EA anti-canon. Some aspects of Tyler Cowen's style of thinking are somehow deeply in tension w/ some fairly deep aspects of EA IMO.
