Nuance


  • Specifics gives clarity. Generic talks can only give shape to vision. Always go to specifics after discussion of the general. Details. 
  • People who make suggestions or ask you about your own growth are your well wishers. 
  • Google, Youtube in particular looks like is giving preference to individual creators. (12-07-2020)
  • There are people who will not change their belief even if you provide a contrary evidence. They will keep adding observations confirming their long held beliefs. Unable to let go their time investment, ego investment etc to waste. 
  • Intellectual honesty makes one easy to work with.
  • Everybody wants to feel important.
  • Awareness of impact of presence/absence of father is a blessing. Some people just have no idea that this is something they are missing or have missed.
  • Negatives in life can be avoided ( by avoiding / observing experiences of others or by learning from others), however anything positive, one needs to experience oneself. There is no other way. Self-experience is the only way. 
  • Understand 'headache'. (This is not about head).
  • Just found out that the fewer words by @fateh have been condensed. It is good to have explanation or reasoning behind that one sentence. Example "reading widely builds discernment". We should know how, reasoning behind it, a little explanation. (Although, it looks self explanatory.)
  • Inwardly calm, out worldly taking actions. Take a few moments to separate yourself from everything external.
  • V. good interview. I'm learning to take things that concern me. I have no understanding of interest rates, options, stock market etc so will ignore. I would like to understand basic 'accounting' (not finance, you see. accounting). So, I take following things from his interview: 
    • Squeezes are followed by a glut. Things, aka events now happen at faster pace due to internet.
    • That all that I can recall.
  • You see, Taleb liked someone comment that 'people hustling on twitter all day might be better if they get a job somewhere'. He's right. He's right for his estimation of a caliber. What about people like me who would love to have a a side hustle paying in $ while I spend in INR? The minimum $ wage is better if I spend in India. 
  • Not that he does not talk about this. He does as in his books and somewhere in printed articles. I remember he mentioned somewhere a CEO who informed his mom about a shoe store that he opened. His mom's dream was to own a shoe store. Right there, his mom slammed him saying, it's not the same thing.
