Impressed by how much he tried to explain physics but it's sci-fi so wtv.

Yes I do see why Feynman won a Nobel prize and I'm a chud.

My goal is to have enough confidence to match my competence, though I lack both simultaneously as of now.

I lost so much stock earning potential by not starting to read this sooner..

So... if you're rich then you're also right!

I do wish to have such confidence.

Nonfiction reads like fiction damn.

William Stoner is this you?

Holy Alexandre Dumas glaze (valid though)

Humans bypassing current bureaucracy is the most unrealistic part of the book so far.

Very fun read.

Social credit system mentioned???

One of the best things that has happened to mankind is science — it does exactly what religion can: admit their own mistakes.

Religion is a crazy thing: gaslight yourself for generations until you believe in it. Quite insane how psychology studies have shown these fake memories could be perceived as real to humans.

Some of the takes are quite controversial. This makes me want to look into the data more and the particular studies mentioned, but Levitt was able to make it sound convincing enough (and plus my own laziness) to just believe his story.

This really rads like a storybook with wild events that have some connection to econ.

What the Allied forces did was quite justified after all.

Sometimes I think I need to be away from the noisy world once in a while, but maybe not in a raft in the middle of the ocean.

Very interesting approach to current events. 1970s Roe v Wade and the steep decline in crime in the 1990s is a correlation that is hard to see but makes much sense with hindsight bias.

I really do hate war and a specific group of people.
