I am interested in understanding this material more in depth and using this post as a guide. Would your advice be to basically read this post but follow all the footnotes/links and read those sources as well? Is there anything else you would suggest?

Well, you're currently reading through Foundations, right? The most interesting parts of the above are explained better (in much more detail) in Foundations than I had the space to do here. So if you actually read Foundations - not a trivial investment! - you'll understand all the most important things I'm hinting toward in this post, and in much more detail.

I think this generally applies, though it might apply less or more in this case dependent on the material in question, which I have not studied. Other minds are a sanity check. Consider writing for others after or during your learning.

Yes, that's a good point. I have such a person already who is fortunately a psychology grad student.
