Intelligence
This is about what makes us tick, where it falls apart, and ideas that may be useful in replicating intelligence. While it is heavily psychology/behavioral economics, it may be somwhat arbitrary. I will also include tangential stuff that makes sense to me as relevant. It is limited to books I have personally read and consider quality reads, and is loosely sorted from exceptional to pretty good.
