It's Black Friday on the S&P500

and other statistics

I heard I have to start making these shorter so here goes.

INTUITION vs. METRICS is a pretty symmetrical confrontation.

Copying models is a good way to start but isn't sustainable.

Feelings are more real than thoughts.

Illogical passions turn out to make a lot of sense when looking back.

Smaller sample sizes love specificities.

Statistics-based decision making versus natural decision making is really a battle between numbers and influence.

When you count people, they also have an unseen quality which makes them more or less compatible with your evolution projections.

Maybe I'm forgetting something really important. And then it hit me. It was 420. If you know, you know.

This idea of a personal brand...

This week's mental struggles I went viral by accident because people argued in the comments about whether a building was beautiful or not. 'Information Wants To Be Free' is one of the prime directives of the Hacker Ethic. It stands against the gatekeeping of knowledge.
