If you enjoy the podcast or the newsletters, I do recommend the Discord (https://discord.gg/oddlots) - the folks there are generally very smart and it is a great place to discuss everything from the economy to climate to transportation to defense.

Mentioned, but there's usually a discussion.
800 books? That seems too large of a list to be useful, even for the most voracious reader.
Good thing there are filters!
