A thought, borrowed from Seneca: The fastest path to wealth is despising wealth.

Yet, in his own words, whatever is true belongs to me.

A shepherd I know sells the finest wool in the world (Mérinos d'Arles) for $2/kg. The buyer (a brand) sells $2000 sweaters. The wool goes to China and back to France to be washed, dyied and knitted. The shepherd lives on the edge of bankruptcy.

City grounds are poisoned with asbestos. When asbestos is discovered on a construction site, conductors have a choice: (1) Get penalized for slowing down the project or (2) bury it down for the next one to discover. I wonder how this impacts tap water.

Rebuilt Kauffman's light bulb experiment. With exactly K = 2 connections per node, the system almost instantly converges towards its attractor, regardless of how it's initialized.

I stayed puzzled for a while before understanding that each node has its own rules for changing its state based on the nodes it's connected to. Otherwise state becomes contagious and the system converges towards pitch black or full on.

Built a toy model of the sandpile toy model to better understand and observe how the distribution of avalanche sizes converge towards 1/f noise. Green: oscilloscope of avalanche sizes. Blue: log-log plot of avalanche size vs frequency. Live demo here: viz.theolouvel.com/sandpile
