I think it’s funny that much of this thread is people debating me in defense of the list as it presently exists. This is good! I’m happy people are engaging with the material earnestly!
It’s a sign that things are pretty solid already, be sure not to fall into the trap of over-valuing criticism because it is rarer than positive reactions. You’ve already spent a lot of time and hard work organising this list and it shows.
Thanks for the advice! And yea, I’ve already had plenty of positive feedback, and most of the ferdback here is in support of the guide as it is anyways (with the possibility of removing Why do we Have to Study Theory and “Tankies” potentially on the chopping block). I appreciate the advice, I won’t overvalue critique.
