1/ 20, I am pleased to officially announce the Summer of Protocols (SoP) program, along with a draft of the pilot study that led to it, The Unreasonable Sufficiency of Protocols (TUSoP), which I've been working on with a bunch of collaborators for the last 3 months.
2/ The program will be primarily virtual, and run for 18 weeks from May-August. It will fund a set of full-time Core Researchers and part-time Affiliate Researchers (primarily in the second half) to think broadly and creatively about protocols. summerofprotocols.com

The larger the pile of money the dumber it is
If you have only $10 it is probably really smart money because you’re going to think hard and object level about spending it
If you have $10B, it’s being deployed mostly in > $250m chunks via org charts with 7 levels of bs theories
The largest object level thing you might ever buy even as a billionaire is probably like a car. Anything bigger, you’re actually buying a theory of ownership with multiple levels of abstraction each with assumptions.

Over the last 3 years with the @yak_collective I’ve really come to appreciate the power of committing a small amount of weekly time over a long period. If you have 10 hours to spare for me, I’ll pretty much always pick an hour a week for 10 weeks over 10 hours in 1 day .
Lifestyles tend to be stable for 3-5y at a time. If you commit 1 hour/wk indefinitely, that’s implicitly 150-250 hours if it sticks. Equal to 4-6 weeks of full-time, but that’s harder to use 🤔
An hour is optimal. Can’t do much with 15-30min, but >1h calls for too much org/prep.
