Judea's other shorter/more friendly primer is also really good: https://www.amazon.com/Causal-Inference-Statistics-Judea-Pearl/dp/1119186846 :). That's the main thing I've read for causal inference, will look through your slides 🫡 it's so cool you taught this at ASPR! :)

Wait, the student led the class through the proof of GS? Without assistance?!

Kids these days! There’s no point in even trying to keep up.

The Pearl book, iirc, requires some background in pretty advanced probability theory. Eg, he uses Markov chains. Or am I mistaking the book you mentioned for a different book?

Ok, good point, that was a questionable use of the term "general", now fixed.
