So, this thing is right above the stove in our new house, but we have no idea what it is. Any clues?

Today I learned!

I'm from Europe. This is my excuse.

OK people, the mystery is definitely resolved. Now our pots and pans can finally have that burnt steak smell to them, combined with old pasta water drops.

The collective intelligence knows no limits.

The following is a 🧵on the Lex Fridman / Francis Collins podcast.

I haven't listened to it yet, so I'll be writing as I listen:
Episode #238 (Francis Collins: National Institutes of Health)

The pod is here if you want to listen along:

Fridman starts by stating the goal is to ask hard questions with empathy and humility "so that we may begin to regain a sense of trust in science, and it may once again become a source of hope". Francis says "he loves the goal" and so do I.

Off we go. Fridman's first question is "is there a chance the virus leaked from a lab" and Collins starts with the usual deflections. "I can't exclude that, I think it's unlikely".

Why would the CDC say something so counterintuitive (and counter-most research) without rock solid evidence to back it? ♾🧵

Tell me your hypotheses and I'll tell you mine.

People have been calling $TSLA a "meme stock", so I want to show you in a very simple way why I consider it to be anything but. For one, show me a trillion dollar company sustaining 50%+ revenue growth since it went public 12 years ago: 🧵

What about margins you ask? Consistently growing.

OK, so this covers until 2020. What about this year, with all the supply chain issues etc? They're on track to ship 76% more cars this year than last.

A tale of two tweets:🧵

One has 2x the likes,
has been up for 3x as long,
has 6x the engagements,
and 7x the retweets.

The other one doesn't mention the V-word.

Twitter's algorithm has shown both to ~12,000 people.

Tweet #1 is makes an important point about our epistemic state in this pandemic:

Tweet #2 is a random dunk on a celebrity hot take

The Elon-Gator Principle 🧵

Or, what I learned from watching @elonmusk and @drrollergator use social media at the Grandmaster level.

Both Elon and Gator come across as effortless, because they are. This doesn't mean they are not refined or purposeful. It means they're doing something else than trying to succeed at social media. Their success is coming En Passant, much like JS Mills described finding happiness:
