The very best podcasts of 2017 👇

1. @naval on Reading, Happiness, Systems for Decision Making, Habits, Radical Honesty on The knowledge project with @farnamstreet
This podcast was over 2 hours long, but every minute of it is pure gold.

2. This two-part series with Barry Diller on being an Infinite learner on the @mastersofscale podcast with @reidhoffman
Very few people would come close to Barry Diller for his crazy breadth of work from The Simpsons to Expedia.

3. An absolute must to understand what's going on in the crypto world beyond the hype, down to the actual roots of why it's important.
@tferriss and @naval with The Quiet Master of Cryptocurrency - @NickSzabo4

4. @harari_yuval with @jaltucher on A Brief History of The Future. Harari's books (Sapiens and Homo Deus) have perhaps had the most impact on me this whole year and this is a good starting point if you haven't read the books yet.

5. @susancain with @farnamstreet on why being an introvert isn't something to overcome, like a disease and the only way to win isn't by outspokenness and self-promotion.

6. @RayDalio with @tferriss on the Principles that he has applied to his business and life.
His books Principles: Life and Work is also one of the most important books I have read this year.

7. @Kasparov63 with @jaltucher on Growing Your Talent, Working with Machines and Becoming the World Chess Champion
This podcast was also an introduction for me to what a brilliant mind Gary Kasporav is beyond chess. Specially his views on A.I and politics.

8. @waitbutwhy on Managing Procrastination, Predicting the Future, and Finding Happiness with @tferriss on this absolutely fascinating Tribe of Mentors podcast.

9. Probably the podcast find of this year -@HardcoreHistory Podcast by Dan Carlin.
Start with his Blueprint for Armageddon podcast on how this age of terrorism and war started. Also, his podcasts are extremely long, some more than 4 hours long!

10. @garyvee with @jaltucher on Setting a Flag on your thing. On empathy, honesty, hard work and most importantly, figuring out who you truly are.

“A pie in the sky.” Homo Deus by @harari_yuval is perhaps the best book I read in 2017.
So many gems in Homo Deus. We all are just ‘Processors’
Does anyone really understand capatalism?

1/ Is willpower myth or muscle? Using eating & #dieting as an example, let’s discuss the science behind #willpower, when willpower fails, and what we can learn from all of this to help us break bad #habits. A long thread, but follow along to learn why willpower is really a myth.
2/ If you're a #primarycare provider trying to help patients lose weight, a #nutritionist trying to get someone to stick to a healthy #diet, or simply trying to eat better yourself: Do you ever feel frustrated, helpless or like a failure in changing #habits?
3/ Why is habit change so hard? Have we not come up with the perfect strategy? Do we simply need more #willpower (or a kick in the pants)?

For years you’ve been told that willpower is the 🔑 to breaking bad habits… but what if I told you that science says otherwise?

#Robodebt illegality: The seven veils of failed guarantees of the rule of law? New article by Terry Carney in ⁦@AltLJ⁩ journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
"This article asks how rule of law institutions failed to ‘bell the cat’ on the illegality of Centrelink's #robodebt programme and its unethical character"
"It is unlawful because Centrelink, not the
supposed debtor, bears the legal onus of ‘proving’ the
existence and size of any debt not accepted by the sup-
posed debtor." #Robodebt

Alert- Extremely long thread: What would an agenda for Indian conservatism look like? My response to this thread by @shrikanth_krish which has an interesting diagnosis and some innovative and eccentric solutions
Firstly, a clarification on the definition and context: By conservatism I don't mean right wing. There may be areas of convergence with the right wing, but I arrive at these positions very differently
The core context for what I am referring to as conservatism is the insight that society is a complex, adaptive system. And hence any set of policy positions adduced solely by reasoning from first principles is ineffective since it has unintended consequences

Part 2/2 of my #BX2018 take outs thread.

See part 1/2 here:
**There was a lot more attention given to testing at #BX2018 , with RCT's being a key focal point here**
Yet RCT's aren't a perfect panacea, as @HarryGreenwell explained - spillover effects, attrition (participant drop off) and statistical power all need to be carefully considered when designing, setting up and executing RCT's.
