I am curious and training to be a polymath. I love engineering, volleyball, mathematics, philosophy, coaching, cognitive sciences, reading, how humans make decisions, and other things. I am a Fox, not a Hedgehog.

Reading the chapter on Transparency is Surveillance?

Are you aware of Goodhart's law? I kept thinking about it as I read the chapter.
