My interests are ALWAYS evolving.

Every couple of weeks, I discover new rabbit holes and explore them OBSESSIVELY.

Right now, my top 5 intellectual influences are:

1. Brian Eno

2. Robert Caro

3. Tyler Cowen

4. Marshall McLuhan

5. Lee Kuan Yew

👇
Brian Eno

A pioneer in sound and art.

He's responsible for inventing ambient music.

He produced albums for David Bowie, U2, and Coldplay.

As an artist, he balances the beauty and ambiguity of ART, with the evidence and outcome of SCIENCE.

Robert Caro

Caro studies how POWER really works in a democracy, from the local level to the national level.

I've been reading his book "The Power Broker," but start with my recent podcast with @kevinakwok.

In it, Kevin distills some of Caro's lessons.

Tyler Cowen

Tyler knows more about more things than anybody I've ever met.

He's a passionate learner who ignores disciplines between boundaries.

Tyler treats learning as a PROCESS, not a PRODUCT.

Spent some time with @tylercowen last year.

Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan was a media theorist who did his best work in the 1960s.

He had a mind like nobody else.

McLuhan will transform how you think about technology and communications.

New ideas – guaranteed.

Lee Kuan Yew

He was the long-time Prime Minister of Singapore.

He governed with incredible success.

When LKY took over Singapore in 1965, Singapore's per capita GDP was ~$400 a year.

Today, Singapore's per capita GDP is more than $50,000.

Incredible.
