The reward function in economy (i.e. profit) is contrary to ethics, sustainability, environment, health, well-being,…

Super-human AIs running on wetware (i.e. companies) gradually become more efficient at it in a Darwinian process
Ruthless psychopaths are more fit to the economic reward function than anyone else, they are rewarded for it as rulers of those less fit

Similarly to an organism with cancer, harmful individuals prosper, and multiply, out of control, unstoppable, and consuming more resources
This is the best time for humanity in history so far

This is the most risky time for humanity in history so far

Most economic metrics will keep improving, but anabolic steroids are not a good treatment for cancer. Most therapies are hard on the patient, but necessary

When management gets in the way of creativity (creating value), companies face hard times. This extract is from Zero to One, from Peter Thiel and Blake Masters. Find it here: genius.com/Peter-thiel-ze…

Or get it, here: amzn.to/2ShtwRE
Jordan Peterson is polemic, but he is right on point here. Companies evolve by becoming less creative and more managerial, this senescence arrives earlier for some companies than others, and eventually means death.

In some cases this senescence may not come from "natural" processes within the company, but have external sources. In general there is a wide range of variability about when it may happen, some companies may remain "young" for extended periods of time.

Since learning today that the Behavioural Insights Team is RCTing a "growth mindset"-based curriculum with 75,000 UK schoolkids cohesioninschools.org I've been wondering how "growth mindset" theory continues to persist & spread despite multiple different forms of criticism...
1 The psychological critique of growth mindset

Meta-analyses within the field of psychology itself have found very weak evidence for either the existence of GM or benefits of teaching it, eg journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
2 The educational critique of growth mindset

If the evidence for GM interventions is so weak, then the educational critique is that schools are ultimately wasting valuable curriculum space by teaching it, eg aeon.co/essays/schools…

Thread on Jobs:
I've been highlighting the fake propaganda on jobs for a while. CMIE is known to be funded by P Chidambaram's close aide. Nobody, absolutely NOBODY should trust the LAME report by CMIE on Jobs!

(opindia.com/2019/01/owners…)
So what is the status of #Jobs in India? We've mentioned it repeatedly- look at broad indicators.
1) EPFO, NPS shows robust job creation.
2) High growth rate of 7% plus not possible without creation of jobs.
creation
3) Recruitments and Campus placements are at a high
4) Naukri.com index also shows positive job growth in the economy
5) Construction activity is at twice the pace during UPA so but obvious jobs must be added

Excellent article by @_MikeTremblay on the potential synergy between the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the philosophy of Stoicism, and how BJJ is an excellent form of askēsis, or training, for Stoicism. Check it out if you're interested in martial arts and/or philosophy.
The author also wrote a handy Introduction to Stoicism which is on his website. Check it out if you're interested but unfamiliar with it. Here's Part 1: "The Good, the Bad, and the Indifferent"

And now, #Maintain2018 live tweeting begins. As before, this is going to be high volume, so mute me and/or the hash tag if you don't want to see this!
We're beginning not with a keynote but a provocation (from three speakers): What is maintenance? #Maintain2018

First we're going to talk about social housing.
"State regeneration is becoming a euphemism for demolition and redevelopment. ASH [Architects for Social Housing) was set up to propose alternatives to this." #Maintain2018
