That everyone else gets around
But lately, I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself, my light is found [1/2]

'Breaking Bad' remains tope drawer stuff!

[Variety @Variety]

Bryan Cranston says Vince Gilligan’s #BreakingBad script was so good it convinced his wife he had to spend six years in New Mexico making the show.

“With a cynicism behind her, she goes, ‘I’m not even gonna like this.’ I’m watching her read it. She gets down to the last page, closes it, throws it on the end of the bed and says, ‘Shit!’ Because she knew it was great and that I had to do it.”

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Daniela Amodei, cofounder of Anthropic on why curiosity beats specialization:

“The ability to be curious, to learn across a lot of disciplines and to have a strong foundation of wanting to have impact, regardless of the area that you're working in, I think that is an underrated quality.”

[Greg Lukianoff @glukianoff]

Monty Python’s @JohnCleese makes a point here that should be obvious, but somehow isn’t.

Learning usually starts with the uncomfortable realization that you weren’t misled by villains or harmed by disagreement. You were just wrong.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

I can understand that one should not write for academics, but it MUST BE under some constraint of rigor that only professionals can detect.
Pinker is expert at writing books on subjects he knows nothing about s.a. statistical properties of wars, probabilistic rationality, etc.

[0xDipper @Dipper_pol]

Nassim Taleb helps run one of the most famous crash funds on earth. His edge: having no idea what's coming

He and Spitznagel buy far out-of-the-money options non-stop, regardless of the news. They never forecast the crash - they just stay positioned so one shock pays for years of small losses

~10% a year in normal times. ~3,700% in a single crisis month

"We have absolutely no notion of the future. We just buy the options."

"If you have a reason in mind to buy an option, don't - it'll already be priced in."

"Up the escalator, down the elevator."

If you're lost right now go read the greats, Carl Jung, Nietzsche, Joseph Campbell, Kant, Hegel.

Life makes more sense after it.
