I recently heard the expression "Love is correctly allocated attention". I can't stop thinking about it. Here are some harsh realities from Robin Dunbar's book "Friends" 👇

The Hero with a Thousand Faces

Joseph Campbell
Tom MorganTom Morgan

@DylanoA4 @Steve_McGinnis Campbell is in the top 3 most significant influences on my life, but his writing sucks. It's why the Power of Myth is so good. As is "A Joseph Campbell Companion." I've tried and failed the Hero with a Thousand Faces twice.

Magick

Aleister Crowley

@f_alday I guess I always think of Aleister Crowley’s definition of black Magick when I read stuff like that: "the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will.”

How Nature Works: The Science of Self-Organized Criticality

Per Bak
Tom MorganTom Morgan

Weird musing/open question. Per Bak's book "How Nature Works" finds fractal patterns of severity and frequency of market crashes, sandpiles, earthquakes, traffic jams and the brain. But he also found it in mass extinction events....

Shantaram

Gregory David Roberts
Tom MorganTom Morgan

A little synchronicity. Like many people, Shantaram is my favourite novel. The TV adaptation is out today and @oloal has released a MAGICAL podcast interview with author Gregory David Roberts. It's about tipping points in life, the exact topic I'm writing a long piece about now https://t.co/HNJGfOfbgp

Napoleon Hill

@dollarsanddata I came for the BJJ (thank @DaveNadig for the flag, cc @supermugatu) and stayed for the insights. Great stuff Nick! FWIW Napoleon Hill has a lesser-known but much more bonkers book called "Outwitting The Devil" that has a stronger bias to action. https://t.co/W2KqgMACUy

Stumbled on a stunningly good @EconTalker podcast from 2020 with @M_Heffernan. She is an author and 3x CEO. The critical topic: making decisions under uncertainty. Her book is "Uncharted: How to map the future." Some highlights. n/7 👇

The Bottom

Mike Jason
Tom MorganTom Morgan

@DaveNadig @profplum99 @jason_koch Makes two of us mate. I am saying we will need more steel/cement/ammonia/plastics (well, I'm citing Smil). I don't know what Mike is saying. The bottom line might be to have a Smil-fan go up against Mike.
