Yeah I agree, I think you can get pretty far with educating yourself while having read maaaybe 1 or 2 of the 4+ books listed in the post, unless you find that that is something that really interests you. Of course reading nonfiction is a gr8 way to educate yourself (though you have to be careful, because a lot of published nonfiction has lower epistemic standards than would be ideal), but again, that nonfiction doesn’t have to be about the flaws of the education system unless you really care about learning about the flaws of the education system.

Yeah, I definitely recommend reading the given list of books if you’re interested in the education system, but I would frame it that way. If you don’t really care about the education system, you shouldn’t feel like you need to read them.
