I would consult with @IbeSaid who knows solid papers. He directed me to this one.

Recommendation: I've learned from father/grandfather that there is no greater pleasure in life than a free-flowing conversation with an erudite person: 1) @holland_tom is about the most erudite person I've met West of the Alps, 2) His podcasts feel like a conversation.

Listen to The Rest Is History on Spotify. Historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook are interrogating the past, and attempting to de-tangle the present.They question the nature of Greatness, why the West no longer has civil wars and whether Richard Nixon was more like Caligula or Claudius.  They'

Some truth by Rip @SS_strength. Principles: 1- You WILL NOT get stronger without getting body fat, forget the image of the steroid-laden "ripped". 2- Never work out body parts separately. 3- Never suffer fools gladly.

Rip shares examples of people claiming the program isn't working for them and describes why they're not doing the program by referencing his article, which nobody reads, "A Clarification."2:59 The Rerun7:55 Haters16:33 The Article “A Clarification”26:14 Wanting What You Can’t Have31:51 The Principle

Excellent post by @Balajis (rehabilitated himself). Contrary to perception, we are NOT sliding into bureaucratocontrolledtechnotyranny. The informational distortion of the net w/conspiracies makes us think we are being increasingly controlled while sliding into a vicious ANARCHY.

Remember that what will work in the future must not make a lot of sense now. A lot of what makes sense (in naive first order logic) has already been tried --and failed. @rorysutherland

Much statistical analysis in finance depends on the assumption that variables have normal distributions. This assumption is far from correct. As a result, as Nassim Nicholas Taleb has rightly pointed out, most statistical results in finance are wrong. Now, a disciple of Taleb has tried to extend Tal

Beautiful thread. Entropy it is.

@engexplain @nntaleb 1/10
Science is assumed to be “evidence-based” but that term alone doesn’t mean much. What constitutes good evidence? How is evidence being used? Is it supporting or refuting a hypothesis? Was the hypothesis and experimental design predetermined or found ex post facto?
