Well it's very technical so not of that much general interest.
It basically analyzes the efficient transmission of information over any sort of channel, and exactly how much you can compress it and detect & fix errors, depending on how much redundancy there is.
It's all quite abstract but it does have huge importance for the telecommunications industry and it puts everything on a firm quantitative footing.

In terms of sheer historical impact, Kevin MacDonald's "The Culture of Critique" is definitely up there in the Great Pantheon.

He uses a fairly standard and spare prose style, but the story he tells is explosive. It's exactly what I look for in non-fiction: well-researched, relevant, and courageous. Before you're even halfway through the book, the outlines of a grand historical narrative have been unearthed. Questions you never thought to ask - or dared not to ask - start percolating, and your bedrock point-of-view is reoriented.

I've recommended the book to people all over the political spectrum, and all of them found value in it. It's criminal that MacDonald isn't standard fare in undergrad. Its explanatory power can't be denied.

This is an absolute pleasure to read.
Jaynes is probably the most erudite individual I have ever read. Dude meaningfully cites and critiques (i.e. doesn't just namedrop like most) everything from Aristotle (who he casually claims didn't even exist as a historical character - kek) to mid-20th century cognitive psych & neuroscience.
Even if the whole premise of his book happens to be incorrect (and I'm not saying it is), his insights into anthropological and other historical evidence regarding the development of language and thought in humans is absolutely fucking fascinating.

So what differentiates pop psych/pop econ from works for a general audience that you consider to be OK? That book was written by an established academic about his research. So while it's necessarily simplified a bit, it's honest about its aims and It's not diluted bullshit designed to make you believe things that aren't true.

I should also add that certain works of the past that were written for a higher caliber of 'general audience' still hold up: the Claude Shannon book mentioned earlier, Norbert Wiener, Marshall McLuhan, Thomas Kuhn etc. Godel Escher Bach is a good example of an accessible work broaching more complex academic topics without sacrificing too much in the way of integrity. But the vast majority of contemporary pop-psych/econ TED lambo-in-garage shit is absolutely bottom-of-the-barrel garbage and I have no time for that.

Newbie here just breaking into non fiction for some variety, never voluntarily read any that I can remember. I'm starting off with Churchill's WW2 stuff as I'm interested in history as well.

Does reading Churchill make anyone else sad? You read his descriptions about how the British reacted to the threat of invasion, the whole society arming up and joining the Home Guard and pitching in to supply the war effort, and then you realize today in Britain they're confiscating locking knives and you need to show an ID card to buy caffeinated drinks.

Churchill is beyond spinning in his grave, his ghost is probably trying to figure out how to die again so it doesn't have to go through the agony of watching his society turn out like this. I bet he'd have preferred Nazi rule to this.

Paul Goldman's Growing up Absurd was really powerful when I read it as a teen. I've always been fond of it, even as my politics have changed.

Ivan Illich's "in the vineyard of the text" situates some of the effects orality/literacy guys (mcluhan, Ong, etc) tend to attribute to printing even earlier. To changes in manuscript culture and reading in the twelfth century.

Stanley Rosen's Nihilism is one of my favorite philosophical polemics.

Sure. I would argue it's one of the best books on how/why humans act that is empirically backed and supported by neurological studies -imo the gold standard for displaying why we act the way we do. Sapolsky is a strong preponent of deterministic and cultural relativistic thinking, but he justifies it so well that it honestly will drop your jaw. He blows the argument that IQ is inherited so far out of the water it hurts. Additionally, he has an insanely powerful background in biology and neuroscience, so when he passes comments on behavior and explains racism it is at a level of genuineness that makes Pinker and Mitchell look confused and sad.

i believe you're underestimating him. i'm pretty positive he's trying to have an impact on the world around him and i'm certain that won't happen by writing books that not even five percent of the population will be able to read.

Also, he dismisses twin-seperated-at-birth studies. The book is a difficult book to read, but his wit makes it solluble

Why?

Well, yeah, it would be, but Jung's work was monumental and disparate and scattered. There's no real one definitive book of him -- you'd have to read some of his anthropological works, some of his works on alchemy, some of his more overtly psychological books, some of his books on specific archetypes and Gnosticism and world mythologies, etc., to really piece it all together. Peterson, memeing of him aside, is a devoted scholar of Jung and Jungian psychology, so in this, you can get a lot of the major ideas of Jung and Jungian psychology condensed into a shorter and more thematically unified work, besides it also being linked to modern psychological and sociological research and Peterson's own research into various mythologies and religions of the world as well as more modern scholarship on them.

He takes from a woman's works that is actually pretty phenomenal
Adopted children are matched to parents that look similar to them
Parents that adopt have much higher levels of education and income than average, because it's so damn costly to adopt
And there's one more I can't remember
Sapolsky talks a lot about the hierarchy of poverty/wealth and how bad it is to be poor in our society -Not a Marxist critique, just how it is.

Marmot wrote books about how shitty it is to be poor.

I was half joking.

Only half, though. Don't you think he'd be horribly disappointed at the state of British society today? And do you think it would be as bad today if the Nazis had won? Somehow I don't see a Nazi regime bothering with such petty bullshit regulation like caffeinated drinks. I think literally Nazi occupation would be less strict on individual ownership of weapons than the British government is. You really think they'd give a shit about pocketknives that lock back or are more than four inches?

Plus, their society would have a lot more backbone due to the adversity and guerrilla resistance and all that.
