The rabbit holes -- without the distractions.
7 examples:
1. Lagging Measurements
I've been looking for a graph that visualizes lagging measurements.
This one is perfect.
Reminder:
The smoking of this decade is not exercising.
2. The Scale Of America's Economy
If California was a nation, it would be the 6th largest economy in the world.
Texas' economy is bigger than South Koreas -- and almost bigger than Russia's.

3. How To Disprove The 10,000 Hour Rule
If 10,000 hours is enough to master something -- why doesn't everyone have world class speaking skills?
Answer: They never listen to themselves.
100 hours with feedback >>> 10,000 hours without feedback
4. Mack Data
At the end of each day, I ask what one thing would I do differently if I could re-wind the day
2 realisations:
• Sleep is the biggest mover
• I prefer having a planned day that I can edit in the present moment if a better option arrives.
5. Knowledge vs Experience
What causes the nodes that separate knowledge from experience?
My thoughts:
1. The pain of failure
2. The dopamine of success
6. The Joe Rogan Razor
My favourite content creators and artists all follow this principle:
• Create what you would consume.
Create things you can do for 5,853 hours -- and still find it interesting.
7. The UK's WW1 and WW2 Debt
If you think covid debt ratio is bad...
Wait until you see UK's WW1 and WW2 debt.
It's incredible the UK managed to bounce back from that debt level without falling apart.
