        He's the one who wrote the Manifesto and the trans piece with me in case you didn't know. Full disclosure as I'm promoting his work! XD

        Wow, too many to choose! Here's just a fraction: 1. "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill 2. "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates 3. "Creating Change Through Humanism" by Roy Speckhardt 4. "The Magic of Reality" by Richard Dawkins 5. "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Nietzsche

        Kind of a mixture of classical liberalism, social justice, skepticism, and Nietzschean "Fuck it all" philosophy.

        Sounds good to me but I probably wouldn't bother with the Nietzsche. Well, I wouldn't. XD

        I have this Thin White Duke persona inside me that's heavily influence by the idea of the Ubermensch and overcoming all societal norms.

        Although like David Bowie, my Thin White Duke persona comes out under the influence of chemicals and paranoia.

        Pinker isn't a true rationalist. He uses evolutionary psychologist as a cover for his personal biases.
