I’d also appreciate additional guidance on “books for getting literate in the stuff you need in order to understand the recommended books.” Sometimes the stuff that follows “lemme just do a little back-of-the-envelope math here” kinda runs away from me.

I do quite like Robert Ornstein’s The Evolution of Consciousness.
