I have an interest in econophysics and what people think of as "economics" is mostly bullshit. David Ruelle put it best in 1991 when he summed up economics as "We don't currently have the tools to properly study this sub

I haven't had social media in 11 years. The best part to me is not mediating all experience through this filter of post worthiness. I can remember anything I would learn or experience would be quickly interrupted by the thought of the

I agree but I haven't used Apple or iphone since the Apple IIe as a kid. I am sure people have all kinds of associations and emotional involvement with these icons. With having no idea what these icons even do, to me it just looks like

I really enjoyed How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. I think you also have to mention along his talent stack, all his failed business ideas. He really seemed to give his ideas a shot even if they didn't make much sense.

I think the better example is the mechanization of the loom created a huge amount of jobs in factories relative to the hand loom because the demand for clothing could not be met by the hand loom. The craftsman who were forced to go to the f

I still read a lot of books and I use LLMs all the time. I have even got a bunch of book recommendations from LLMs. Imagine that. You actually have agency over these tools. I know it is hard to believe for some.

In the 20th century you left the house because otherwise you were bored. I love being alone but I am not "lonely" and I am never bored. When I go for a walk on a beautiful summer night in America, always alone, there is rarely any
