There is no meal I am more consistently disappointed by when dining out in the US. Eating this in France has ruined it for me everywhere else. And the crazy thing is there's a lot of variability in how they make it there, and all of them are 100x better than anything I've had in the states.

I can't tell you how happy it makes me that I could pass something on! Let me know if you end up reading it. I was gobsmacked for most of that book. Would love to talk about the philosophical implications!

Have you read Our Immense World? I love the concept of the umwelt and would love to read thought experiments in that framework.

I wonder what his DISC assessment would have looked like.

I think that's what the "love and belonging" layer is supposed to be. "The Body Keeps the Score" digs into this really well.

I like thinking about how music exists (and language, art, etc) because of the way our brains work. Studying those things illuminates attributes of our thinking that are not obvious. Godel, Escher, Bach was a really fun read on that topic.

"Average" as a measure of central tendency implying a "typical" value with no regard to kurtosis or skew of the distribution; technical monitoring tools grossly over-rely on mean values and routinely deceive people into thinking they know what's going on with a system.

"Agile" as a business process framework with the implication being that we can and should change direction rapidly and constantly.

That looks really cool - well done!

Thank you - really enjoyed that. It makes me wonder if there's application in the tacit knowledge space as well.
I used Kahn over the summer to prep for my first grad school class in statistics and I was shocked at how well it worked. It's an incredible resource.

Agreed - also consider the fetish that religious conservatives have with being oppressed. "If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first." They see oppression as evidence that they are right, and therefore long to be oppressed.

I recently did this for my blog. Bluesky's sharing capability needs some work, but it's functional.

Getting back into writing notes by hand has improved my recall ability many times over. Plus finding fun pens, inks, and papers satisfies my drive to consume!

I don't really see this as anything other than an interesting quirk of the kind of character that leads people to those kinds of jobs. The really good ones know this and build teams that fill in that gap.
Sorry for the diversion - looking forward to hearing more on the data topic from you.

Oh yes - much easier to respond to a fire than to stop the arsonist. I just meant that most of the execs I have worked with feel driven to make a big splash. They want to innovate, disrupt, and transform. The simple, much more valuable stuff gets passed over way too often.
