The article is claiming that a new study was just released, but the closest thing I can find is a Knight Foundation study that was done in March. Can anyone find the study the article is referring to? It doesn't seem to be in any of th

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Robert Caro on this list. I have read all of his books, and they are some of the most profound expositions into the nature of power I have ever seen.

Against my better judgement, I'll go ahead and bite. There are two things in your comment I want to address. First, I'm not sure what you mean by "the problem," so I'll assume you mean the question of what constitut

I'd also recommend his Mythos series. And his "Power of Myth" interview with Bill Moyers, which should be required viewing in every highschool.

100% agreed. This is why allowing websites like HN, Facebook, and Twitter to become replacements for the public town hall is a very, very bad idea.

This is fantastic. My only gripe here is that I don't see Herodotus or Thucydides listed, which I would consider very important prerequisites to some of the other books, especially Plutarch.

For reasons that I suspect are now obvious, I pretty much hate all the tech coming out of the Google/Facebook/Twitter complex. If you need to ask why, I suggest asking them why they don't comply with GDPR. However, there is o
