".. if nationalism and religion were taken off the table, we'd revert to tribalism within that framework."
It's all tribalism really. Just on a larger scale. We never evolved beyond any of it.

I get my recommendations from stackoverflow mostly, so I know the books I read are good. My brain knows the information is legit and takes it all in.
On the internet I spend too long reading short pieces, reviews, articles... A book is nice and LONG :)

In my own experience: if I write dynamic code I'm still thinking of types. Especially in Python.. What's mutable, what isn't... This is what my professors at school say too. Less typing (pressing keys) doesn't make you think faster!
