I am for a barbell of myth and abstraction. I am against narrative.

Is this a thing? Or is this not a thing? That is the question.

You should take the other side of the conflict not for reasons of fairness, but to anticipate changes in the rules of the game.

People are less afraid of what to think of you than what to think others
might think of you, and what others might think of what they think of you.

If it is not wrong, the precondition for judging it right is wrong. It is wrong. Everything is wrong.

Rationality, a focus on ratios, is like “number of subscribers”, a narrative as to what constitutes supposed fundamentals.

Skimping on search costs almost always leads you to overpay the final item, even if you eventually manage to convince yourself that you made the “right” decision.

People who believe they can cajole the financial markets lose money. People who deceive themselves into thinking they have an influence over politics are rewarded in the appraisal of their peers, nevermind the policy outcomes!

People are more afraid of being wrong than of losing money. Utterly bizarre! I remember wedrifid on lesswrong (ha!) making a comment about how wealth is undervalued relative to power and that is something you can arbitrage. Smart guy!
