One of the things I loved writing the book was that Adam Smith nailed all of these topics in 1776. And yet here we are almost 250 years later, and we’re arguing... He said you need actual competition, not cronyism, for the benefits of capitalism to accrue. Amen to that.

"The Data Detective," the new book by @TimHarford , is available in the US on Feb 2. It's for you IF you want to be think more clearly / develop better mental habits AND/OR if you like reading really, really good writing https://t.co/zK0WYMfQcb

I remember Mary Oliver saying that a big reason her poems were made up of small stanzas and short lines was that long dense blocks of text are intimidating and off-putting to the reader. https://t.co/4l0lFcpHuc

Very sharp and appropriately glowing @silverjacket review of "Hidden Games" by @erezyoeli and @Moshe_Hoffman in today's @WSJ I recommend that you read this book. https://www.wsj.com/articles/hidden-games-review-secret-equations-11650832764?st=6nt4ifz60tcrusr&reflink=share_mobilewebshare

I blurbed it because I loved it. If you like serious thinking about technology, I predict you will too. My advice? Buy it now.

@pmarca The great book "Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization" by @slingerland20 is the best counter, but Huberman's case is a strong one IMO. And yep, "most published research findings are false. " is probably an understatement. https://t.co/ouw9mtwHzR

@AlecStapp I learned a ton from Caroline Alexander's "The War That Killed Achilles," which is about the Iliad: https://t.co/AwZd6gPXcz

@bhalligan For more informed takes, see Annalee Saxenian's work: https://t.co/y871wDb2Ca And John Markoff's great book "What the Dormouse Said" about the earliest days of the PC industry in NoCal https://t.co/0QVf1tMJ6G

Great advice. But, à la @hugoreasoning and @dansperber , it’s also essential to stress test solo ideas by exposing them to group-level argumentation. Their great book “The Enigma of Reason” explains why https://www.amazon.com/Enigma-Reason-Hugo-Mercier/dp/0674368304 https://twitter.com/AnnieDuke/status/1552860272439676929
