What I Will Teach My Children

I will give my children thousands of books to read, but first and foremost, I will give them:

“Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality” and “Rationality: From AI to Zombies” by Yudkowsky, “Astrovityanka” by Gorykavyy, “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” by Feynman, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” by Nietzsche, and “Gödel, Escher, Bach” by Hofstadter. I will give these books at as early an age as possible. It would be most logical to start, perhaps, with “Astrovityanka”. But it’s extremely important to read all of them before the age of 12.
