    Which books would you add?

      There is a book called "arthshastra"( अर्थशास्त्र ) which I would highly recommend you to read it since you are fascinated about history
      It is based on how Economics, geopolitics and laws were governed under Chandragupta Maurya who was the king of Mauryan Empire of Ancient India and it was written by famous Indian Strategist "Kautilya" who was the PM during Mauryan Empire
      which later the book was translated by L.N. Rangarajan
      I would highly recommend you to read this part of history and civilization

    The Dawn of Humanity by David Graeber is a really good one. Coercion, Capital, & European States by Charles Tilly is another.

    • @IdeasInHat

      That last one sounds dope. Is dawn of humanity as good as debt? I tend to be a bit sus of books with the titles like "beginning of civilization" and etc.

    Russell’s History of Western Philosophy would be top of my list. Biased and misleading in places, yes, but there is no better guide to the context within which great philosophers have thought and written.

    Next up, could you do a video, recommending your favorite and must-read books on cognitive science/cognitive psychology - philosophy of mind, in general? Just discovered your channel, so, perhaps you've made such a video already (have to look closer), but in case you haven't, I think it would be an excellent idea!
