The effects of genes are so intertwined, it’s almost impossible to delete more than one without hurting a cell’s fitness in unforeseen ways. buff.ly/2HcpXqu

Technology is applied science. Science is the study of nature. Mathematics is the language of nature. Philosophy is the root of mathematics. All tightly interrelated.

FEYNMAN learning strategy in THREE points: 1. Continually ask "Why?" 2. When you learn something, learn it to where you can explain it to a child. 3. Instead of arbitrarily memorizing things, look for the explanation that makes it obvious.

People think they need more knowledge when in reality they need to implement the knowledge they already possess. Because active implementation of knowledge requires real work, they procrastinate by reading more stuff while thinking that they are doing something productive.

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.

Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.

We prefer to see “winners” as “naturally talented” rather than “hard working.” Because if it were reversed, what would that imply about us? xitter.cf/degenrolf/status/98482…

People prefer successful individuals whose achievements are based on talent (“naturals”), but hold ordinary persons dearer if their abilities stem from effort ("strivers"). sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

every work day is part defense, part offense. responding to needs (email, errands) is defense. articulating new ideas (code, prose) offense. a good day of work isn't just getting things done, it's minimizing defense to play a little more offense.

After much experience and experimentation, I definitely believe that one cannot teach by criticizing and pointing out faults. One can only teach by encouraging, inspiring, and showing what to improve. Positivity is not sugar-coating, it is fundamental to the way we learn.

The idea that we usually need authorities to guide and govern. Evolution and capitalism create spontaneous order. Markets and blockchains enforce rules without rulers. xitter.cf/farnamstreet/status/96…

What’s an example of someone using a flawed widely believed mental model (understanding of the world) with terrible consequences. (E.g. our belief the world was flat {flawed model of reality} slowed human progress by preventing trade and exploration).

In visual terms: a musical pattern evokes an emotion/thought not because you've heard it before and were conditioned to associate it with the emotion (that would be pattern recognition, not abstraction), but because you process it as having the same *shape* as the emotion/thought
