@nntaleb Look at the study design. It’s garbage. It uses 2 surveys to evaluate the eating habits of people for almost 20 years. It also doesn’t control for other variables that could be responsible for the elevated cardiovascular risks. I can’t remember what I ate last week and when.

Hey! Look at this thing that you didn’t know you needed until you saw a cleverly placed advertisement for it while scrolling through social media. Quick! Buy it now! Time is running out! There’s a limited supply! And remember to KEEP buying to fill that empty hole.

What most people don’t realize (but I do) is that something has already started and is actively happening (despite any data or evidence to support it) and the only way to protect yourself is to follow my advice (even though I have no expertise in the subject I’m talking about)

A platform full of mostly uninformed opinions that don’t really matter, desperately seeking anonymous ears to hear them. That’s just my honest opinion.

We mistakenly think of certain goods as free because they involve no apparent cost to us. Napkins seem to be free at Starbucks. Nobody stops you from taking a fistful. But it’s important to remember that everything has a price. You just need to figure out how much and who pays.

@JoeyJokesAlot @michaelmalice Why pretend when its the reality?

If you create something that’s super intelligent, why would it take orders from you? Why would it ever do your bidding? It’s like a human taking orders from a chimpanzee. Something that is an order of magnitude smarter than you will quickly become your master. #ChatGPT #AGI

People’s philosophies tend to morph to suit their personal interests and life circumstances. If you’re rich: less government and taxes! If you’re poor: more welfare and entitlement programs! And philosophical transformations happen almost as quickly as circumstances change.

The first step to becoming less cowardly is to train yourself to eliminate your fear response to irrational fears and nonexistent threats. Want to stand up for yourself? For others? For what’s right? It’s difficult when the perceived authorities use fear to control you.

Doing something only when you’re motivated or FEEL like it is a great way to accomplish almost nothing.

The “having” refers to competence. If you develop competence, the world will give you more to manage within your area of competence. If you are incompetent, the world will wipe its ass with you.

The idea of redistribution has the underlying assumption that people are equally good at managing/allocating their money/resources. This obviously isn't the case and is in large part what contributes to the current unequal distribution.

There’s an old biblical proverb and it goes like this, “For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Intellectuals may like to think of themselves as people who "speak truth to power" but too often they are people who speak lies to gain power.

Committing to following an optimal path, assuming such a path exists, eliminates the ability to exercise one’s free will. This also assumes that free will exists.

With great power comes great responsibility to abuse that power

The modern consumer is an abysmal animal. Perpetually borrowing from the future to pay for the present. Even a squirrel has the common sense to stow away some nuts for the coming winter.

Have ya’ll considered eating cockroaches? It’s good for the environment AND paleo!
