I tend to think there are already tons of lists of important reading out there, and I’m not sure an EA-specific one would be particularly novel. It might be more valuable to add small summaries of these references on Wikipedia where they aren’t already present, since reading a summary on Wikipedia is much faster than reading the entire original article. Doing it on Wikipedia also helps avoid reinventing the wheel if someone else has already written a summary.
Would it be valuable to have edited books on many fields which are useful for EAs?
Things like Philosophy of Mind for Computationalists
Mega course for aspiring philosophers
Etc… but edited in a book. Like these here, here, and here.
Philosophy for EAs
Mathematics for EAs, a guide for the perplexed
Anthropology for EAs etc…
