I believe that EA could tone down the free books by 5-10% but I am pretty skeptical that the books program is super overboard.
I have 50+ books I’ve gotten at events over the past few years (when I was in college), mostly politics/econ/phil stuff the complete works of John Stuart Mill and Adam Smith, Myth of the Rational Voter, Elephant in the Brain, Three Languages of Politics, etc (all physical books). Bill Gates’ book has been given out as a free PDF recently.
So I don’t think EA is a major outlier here. I also like that there are some slightly less “EA books” in the mix like the Scout Mindset and The AI Does Not Hate You.
I think it’s not free books per se, but free books related to phrases “here’s what’s really important”, “this is how to think about morality” that are problematic in the context of the Bible comparison
