"Razors" are principles that amplify your decisions. The most powerful razors I've found:

10 years ago today @aaronsw took his own life after overly aggressive prosecution. He invented internet infrastructure. He defeated the greatest threat the Internet had ever seen. And you probably don't know who he is. You should. Here’s his story 🧵

Here is the famous photo of KN Katju, Tej Bahadur Sapru & Nehru walking into Red Fort to defend the INA in late 1945. Bhulabhai Desai played a stellar role in getting the INA acquitted.

We took notes 🗒️ on >400 Podcasts in 2022. Here are BEST 20 MEGA 🧵👇

In 2022 I learned hundreds of useful concepts that improved my understanding of the world. Here are the 10 best:

One of our portfolio company CEOs shared this. Grateful that we @PermanentEquity get to work with people like this.

Girard doubted people's ability to think independently. They choose what to do by following a model. Christ, he believed, was the perfect, peace-inducing model. Like the serpent directing Eve to the apple in the Garden of Eden, modern models lead us to traps like idolatry.

Einstein, Wells, Napoleon, Dostoevsky, and Harvard would agree. What if I told you that the world's most influential leader grew up in poverty in a backwater town to an unwed mother, became a refugee, taught for 3 years, then was killed? Wouldn't you want to know how he did it?

Just discovered @Durableteam. Made using OpenAI, Unsplash and Durable, users can create a professional website with custom images and copy in just three clicks. It's pretty cool. They've generated 86k+ websites since launch. I've just added it

According to Girard, the Bible shows us that people aren't as independent as they think. People think they're pursuing their own dreams and desires, when in fact, they're pursuing other people's. They unconsciously adopt other people's desires and call them their own.

If you doubt the influence of Christianity on your life, remember that it’s so foundational that it even frames our perspective on time. We calculate the year by counting how many times the earth has rotated around the sun since the birth of Christ.

How not to use a budget: - Prediction of future How to use a budget: - Decision-making framework - Communication of priorities - Accurate tie b/n inputs and outputs - Correct delineation between controllable and uncontrollable - Gauge sustainability of short-term decisions

@david_perell I saw the academic deficiency when studying The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway in a college class The title is a direct ref to Ecclesiastes, along with his intro quote. Every lit theory, including Greek Myths, explored, but prof didn’t want to talk about the source inspiration. 😵‍💫

@sama Children working at ~10-12 years old is good and healthy and almost all kids would be happier if they could. Disallowing child labor was a good idea at the time, today its basically child abuse, causing depression and precluding a lot of precocious greatness from forming.

In #golang we have pointers. A pointer is a "data item that specifies the location of another data item". It can be source of confusion... ❤️ Remember this: & = you TAKE the address * = you FOLLOW the address ⚠️*T = denotes a pointer type (all pointers to T, ex: *int)

So to vaccines. Who needs boosters? Booster doses on any platform are likely to have an incremental benefit in anyone, at least for a while. Among vaccines in India, all vaccines fine, but order based on immune response will be protein, adenovirus vectored, inactivated. 23/n

So many calls about China, about what that means for India, about XBB, about 3rd waves, about new mandates, about travel bans, about vaccine boosters- thought best to get views out to summarise the current situation. Long thread, be warned 🙂 1/n

When you write #golang code outside the main package it's a good practice to wrap your errors. You can use fmt.Errorf with %w !

Legendary investor Howard Marks just released a new memo. “In my 53 years in the investment world, I’ve seen economic cycles, manias and panics, bubbles and crashes, but I remember only two real sea changes.  I think we may be in the midst of a third one today.” My Notes…

Quick Podcast Tip #270 How do you measure the quality of an idea or episode? According to @Julian it all boils down to a simple equation: Quality = Novelty x Resonance If you want to create better episodes, then, you now have your North Stars. Adjust your course accordingly.

Some really cool (programming) tech that I think are underrated right now and that have proven very useful to me this year:

@tobi My programming/coding knowledge is limited. I asked ChatGPT to help me dissect Tobi's thread as I wish to understand it better. Are these breakdowns generally correct?

To me, the principal-agent problem is the single most fundamental problem in microeconomics. If you do not understand the principal-agent problem, you will not know how to navigate your way through the world.

2/ Consulting Firms Disruption: AI answers your business questions impersonating business experts Ex: ask Elon how to grow your online business: How to win: Include AI experts on your team. Apply that expertise to a customer's specific situation.

A donkey who was used to carrying 70 kg was made to carry 90 kg. Donkey resisted but carried on. The owner after some time made it 105 kg. This time the donkey refused to move. The owner reduced it to 100 kg. The donkey was happy and voted for his owner. IN POLITICS - familiar?

'Periyar’s praise for Ambedkar was motivated by his keenness to belittle Tamil Nadu’s dalit leaders. After this purpose was served, he was quick to talk of Ambedkar as "a north Indian who succumbed to the Congress".' – Ravikumar

In his petition to the Supreme Court, Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay has alleged rampant forced religious conversions. But when we fact-checked his claims and questioned him, he walked away from the interview. @TruthvsHype

We defined the Flywheel (⚙️) and Doom Loop (☠️) of Doist. It hinges upon our ability to build and ship useful stuff for our customers. I am sharing it because it could be useful for any other product organization 😊

Sad news from @unccs — Fred P. Brooks, the founder and long-time chair of the department (and a major influence on my professional outlook) passed away a few hours ago.

Great thread @oldbooksguy! I'm glad you're shining the spotlight on Dostoevsky. I was surprised you didn't mention his faith, which was central to his life and philosophy: “It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.”
