@mezaoptimizer I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of this AGI doom and gloom talk is just a way for some companies to do a regulatory capture of the market by scaring the average person.

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll help you understand Markov Chains.

In life, and in investing, we often come across situations where luck/chance plays a major role.

And Markov Chains are often a great way to model and analyze such situations.

In the short term, you are as good as your intensity. In the long term, you are only as good as your consistency.

Not sure how a bunch of people organizing in the open is not okay, but a few people colluding in private is.

[Mirza Baig @mirzabaig07]

@paranoidbull Agreed but it is not absolute freedom. There are limits to freedom of speech.
Also, I don't think it applies to private companies as they have the right to revoke membership if someone is in violation of their policies.

@jackbutcher The Paradox of Abundance

Information abundance, like all markets of abundance, are bad for the average person but great for a small number of people.

My favorite metaphor is health, where obesity rates and the number of people in incredible shape are *both* rising.

Thank you @shaneparrish.
Awesome guests and discussions this year. Keep up the good work!

My biggest podcast binge-listen of 2020 was The Knowledge Project. #2020Wrapped

Don't be impressed by money, followers, degrees, and titles. Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility, and generosity.

@orangebook In short, explore then exploit.

@thescorpionphil Depth of knowledge in few areas with breadth of knowledge is probably a better idea.

Don’t use your energy to worry!

Use your energy to believe, to create, to learn, to think, and to grow. 🧠

In life, you are your opponent.

You are the only person who is powerful enough to stop you.

[Kpaxs @Kpaxs]

Your brain is a self-validating mechanism.

It goes out of its way to find evidence to support whatever it wants to believe is true.

Act accordingly.

The optimal strategy might be executing a suboptimal plan at a fast pace.

Strategy evolves as lessons are learned—and the person who moves faster, learns faster.

Learning is a marathon and perfection is a weighted vest.
