So, I want to make a 52 book chart. The themes I want to work on are as follows:

>all politicians are assholes
Books working on the idea politicians work for their own interests and every time they actually help the populace is incidental, and general moral crimes of hypocrisy from what is supposed to be a country's leadership

>populace steering
Things on how the people are very akin to sheep and would do whatever they leaders wants them to given proper methods

>data fraud and lying with statistics
For enjoying the huge circlejerk pandemic data and stats are and how fucked up the people still eating the bullshit from carreer fraudsters from corporate pharma, corporate media and the government

>shit about human condition realism that goes against the mainstream
Men are rabid violence machines incapable of anything relevant unless enslaved by a better mind, women are just lying hypocrites gerrymandering who is more rabidly violent so they can pick from the top who would rape babies in her and humanity are such assholes that we to have a civilization is a fucking miracle. Shit like that.

I'll post some charts and pics with shit I've already decided to find to read. Maybe we'll build something useful for someone else. Some related topic suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks, and happy new year for everyone.

It's a mess of a book, but Harvesting Minds by Roy Fox is a sociological study of how effective TV commercials seen for 10 minutes a day are on High School students in Missouri. Amazing content, abysmal execution.

Do you want what people in 1920 wrote on this or what the same "people" of today are writing and teaching?
Because the modern equivalents are more goal oriented but less exciting, furtive or all encompassing.

Sunstein - His books on Nudging are seminal
Michie/Decision Lab - Com-B; Behavioral Change Wheel
Behavioral Insights Team - EAST; Behavioral Government
Institute for Government - Mindspace
Michie - A Taxonomy of BCT; BCT Taxonomy
Hallsworth - Behavioral Insights

Be prepared to be disappointed though, because the goal here is to be able to nudge people from throwing plastic cups at airports into special bins or staying hydrated to influencing how a crowd might respond to a panic at a large event and everything inbetween from the lone individual, to one on one or group interactions.
At times this shit will seem incredibly trite, but sometimes it really does show how this thinking completely changed a nations perception of organ donation and which laws will be implemented in response to this new perception or helped Obama get elected and re-elected.
You will lack the most important thing though which is knowing from previous experiments and implementations what works and if it can be replicated.
Should hear how some of these Behavioral Science people talk. They think they are reimagining capitalism on every level and cant stop cooming to Covid.

Gramsci’s notebooks. Just gotta weed through the Italian literature reviews. Unless you’re into that too.
