+ Press et Al "Numerical Recipes in C" on list taught me the most abt numerical methods, (intractable differential equations, num integration) although I have never programmed in C.
+ Alchian & Allen, Universal Economics (formerly University Ec) best for econ reasoning.

Why try meditating in 2022, a thread:

First, a preface. The word meditation is often substituted for mindfulness. That’s like substituting the word exercise for the word healthy.
In the context of this thread, meditation is a practice of concentrating on one object, such as the breath, for 10-30 minutes.

Regardless of time period, meditation is a difficult practice to master. However, the case can be made that in this era, as the supply of distractions rise + our attention continues to fragment into smaller pieces, it becomes increasingly difficult to master.

Leo Strauss was one of the greatest and most influential thinkers of the 20th century and deserves a @threadapalooza. His thought is both controversial and poorly understood. He argued for the critical relevance of ancient ideas and great books.
Like many greats, there's a lot in Strauss to highlight and a lot to de-emphasize, meaning that each person will have their own different version of him. The word "Straussian" gets thrown around a lot, but it's probably impossible to be a Straussian. 2
For me, Strauss is best appreciated as one of a handful of diverse thinkers (including Heidegger, Benjamin, Gadamer, Derrida, Freud) who understood that texts don't say what they seem to. They say both more and less than what meets the casual glance. 3
We celebrate that dance is a place where people of different backgrounds can come together around a common love for self expression through movement. But we are watching our dance communities crumble under the divisive ideology of critical theory/identity politics.
There are still racial injustices in the world. We believe that the best way to fight them is to work together as a community and as equals, regardless of skin color, sex, sexual orientation, gender, etc.
We see the racism happening in the classic sense, but we also see the racism happening within woke ideology and we are standing apart from it.

@luanrodolfo @nntaleb I want to try this one. I want to write an essay about this so this is a good chance to make some mistakes in short hand form. The essay I want to call “Ayn Rands Smoking Habit: Never let an objectivist manage your risks”
@luanrodolfo @nntaleb So basically Ayn Rand believed in the pure primacy of the human mind both as an inductive and deductive instrument. Basically she believed in the infinite power of the happiness response to determine your behavior and that things
@luanrodolfo @nntaleb That feel good and appear right based on observation should be done by humans. The part of her writing that notoriously illustrates the drastic oversight she made was her writing about John Galt’s smoking habit.
It turns out that walking for like 4 hours when it's below -30 Celsius cures chronic migraines or something. 🤷♂️
But anyway, it's been way too long so let's finally get around to do this.

Last time, we discovered that Baconian naturalism is crypto-pantheism and therefore any any honest materialist should've admitted defeat once the Big Bang was proved real. (Fred Hoyle knew this)

Recently finished Influence by Robert Cialdini.
Many people say it is one of the most important books they've read. When Charlie Munger first read it, he sent Cialdini an A share of Berkshire b/c he was so grateful. That is worth 300k today.
Here's my synopsis...

Main Thesis:
We all have automatic responses programmed into us that can be taken advantage of. It is through these psychological vulnerabilities that the marketer, or anyone really, can prey.
The books goes over the 7 main vulnerabilities and how you can deal with them.

The 7 tools are as follows:
1. Contrast (not explicitly a tool, but it qualifies)
2. Reciprocation
3. Commitment and Consistency (lumped together b/c similar)
4. Social Proof
5. Liking
6. Authority
7. Scarcity
