The Rationality Freiburg reading group is composed of 6 people, though this might vary a little. We want to find great books to read next. We will consider reading any suggested book (most likely the ones with most bets) and whichever we did read within a year and gets a mean rating better than 8.5 / 10 will be chosen as a correct answer. There might therefore be more than one.

If we read no suggested book the market will resolve as N/A. If we finish at least one of the suggested books but no book reaches the threshold, the answer "None" will be chosen as correct.

We read the following books within the last 3 months:

  • What's Our Problem by Tim Urban - Mean rating: 8.70

  • The Scout Mindset by Julia Galef - Mean rating: 8.17

Actual votes:

What's Our Problem 9.50 8.50 8.00 8.50 - 9.00

"Other" was correct. There were two "Other" responses so I didn't know how to properly resolve that and was unable to find it in the Manifold docs within 5 minutes so I just resolved each for 50%.

Books that crossed the 8.50 threshold were The Blank Slate and The Brothers Karamazov.
