Some things about me:
Some things I believe:
- We know almost nothing about anything
- Modern science is not even 500 years old. The human knowledge project is just getting started
- In 1000 years humans will laugh about almost everything we know believe to be true
- Statistically meaningful, replicable results are insanely rare
- Maybe 200 people worldwide are doing real research. Every other "researcher" is doing development.
- You need to take charge of your dopamine
- If you don't do it others will shamelessly exploit it
- Make sure you get your dopamine from activities that move you closer to your ideal life
- The bar is shockingly low
- You’re competing against people who barely care and barely try
- Everyone is tied town by invisible ropes
-
Everything is fucked and becoming more fucked every day
- The academic research system is broken beyond repair
- The standard education system is a scam
- The internet is getting dumber
- The issue isn't that we don't know how to do things better. It's that too many people are benefiting from the broken status quo
- Management by metrics leads us astray
