I'm good at guessing people's MBTI based on intuition on the person's personality or a piece of information they put out on social media.

Once read an X profile bio that stuck with me: "Don't call me American, I'm a New Yorker." That's a city-state sense of identity. Not a nation-state sense of identity.

I've never kept up with Nobel prize winners. It's good the Nobel prize institution exists but I don't find it interesting to follow.

Talented people always find work regarless of race. Which head coach of the French national soccer team wouldn't want Kylian Mbappé on the team.

I'm pro business, pro Capitalism & I understand income inequality is inevitable. But I also believe a country should have a Welfare State.

If you have a deep and powerful appreciation for Fyodor Dostoevsky's books like I do you should read his novels in Russian. It's going to be difficult and it's going to take time but you should do it.

I noticed something here on X. The people who respect Nassim Taleb's books (let's call these people, myself included, the Incerto network) also happen to respect John Gray and Stephen Wolfram's books.

I wonder is Palantir is an overhyped SaaS company or if they're doing serious impressive surveillance work.

Dostoyevsky had doubts but ultimately was a Christian orthodox. Yet he criticized the Christian orthodox church. I need to inquire about that, what is it despite being an orthodox Christian made him also a sharp critic of the Russian orthodox church?

It's crazy that Charlie Kirk got murdered the same day he posted this. This wasn't his last tweet, but his last tweet was also about Iryna. RIP, Charlie.
