Don’t take the particular numbers seriously. Think of it as: do the first n books explain m% of your thinking where m(n) is a positive definite function? (ie the more books you share in your stack with me, in the same order, the closer your thinking to mine)... true or false?

Many people seem to loosely operate on this assumption, which is sort of like a blank slate model where books get loaded in and interconnected, and a sort of “principal component analysis” yields books in order of explained fraction.

I sure like to get a nice long look at someone's bookshelf. It feels like peering into their soul.

depends on what you define the “kernel” as i.e. the interface between the hardware & software. i’d argue that (in this context) it’d constitute background and lived experiences... that fundamental difference would determine how the “stack” would influence diff people’s thinking

No, unless maybe they also happen to be a Singaporean Indian who married their first girlfriend at 22, bought a home at 23, was “gifted” in school, repeated a year, didn’t go to university, parents ran a family business, is hideously online,https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1035718150053015552?s=21 …

No. I think thinking is shaped by a wide variety of factors that interact as a complex function. So this would not work.
