Man I can't believe these clowns (or myself for typing all this out--don't know who is worse)

I've got a lot here to read for the next newsletter. Thanks folks that gave insightful comments.

Feel free to read more about the process I'm taking with this newsletter or sign up:

https://thinkoutloudnews.substack.com/p/why-you-should-read-...

I knew a little already, so I started with topics in metaphysics/epistomology, made up my mind about them, and moved more into meta-ethics/ethics and more "practical" philosophies. Reason being, if you have a strong stance on something like free will, a lot of your ethics can be derived from there.

If you ever want to talk about it, feel free to shoot me an email evankozliner@gmail.com

I've also got a blog and substack where I write sometimes. You need to write about this stuff to really absorb it imo.

https://thinkoutloudnews.substack.com/ https://medium.com/@evankozliner

I write about computer science, philosophy and their intersections. My posts are geared towards people with an interest in both CS and philosophy. You can find stuff ranging from typical CS/ML topics like how to build a melanoma classifier, to what the implications of cellular automata are for free will. I don't write super frequently, but I put a lot of effort into my posts.

I also chat with readers pretty often, so if you generally just want to have a discussion about these topics, I'm a good person to reach out to :)

I feel the opposite. What keeps many people from starting startups is financial risk (the prior probaility of success is quite low!). Increasing the safety net, even if it means decreasing the gains, might cause more people to take the risk.

> "For example, let's attack poverty, and if necessary damage wealth in the process."

How does this not contradict his earlier point about driven people no longer wanting to start startups if they can't get rich doing it?

> "One of the most important principles in Silicon Valley is that "you make what you measure."

I'm completely behind this statement. Attacking wealth inequality by, say, robbing the rich, is not the right approach. But I think he's mixing up what people mean when they say they don't like inequality and what they actually want to do about it. Nobody is claiming we all go back to being hunter/gatherers.

> "I think rising economic inequality is the inevitable fate of countries that don't choose something worse. "

This is a huge statement. I'm happy to see PG has iterated over every possible economic system under every possible level of technology and come to this axiom though; this will save the economists of 2532 a lot of effort they might have spent running this simulation :)

> "The acceleration of productivity we see in Silicon Valley has been happening for thousands of years... You do not want to design your society in a way that's incompatible with this curve"

What acceleration? Uber and Instagram are hardly quantum leaps from what we had > 10 years ago. The iPhone I have in my pocket today is functionally not all that different from the one 5 years ago. What's even worse is that it's questionable as to whether or not the things churning out of the valley are even good at all. No one is betting a curve: the curve is in his imagination. Change feels linear lately.

Also, where is the talk about externalities?

High IQ -> More $ -> More likely to see Dr for diagnosis

I didn't read the whole thing though--did anyone w/ the time decide to do a deep dive on the study and see how they controlled?

Couple reasons for this: * Medium alg prioritizes metered stories * "The startup" publication wants you to publish metered stories

I'll repost to my personal website though--thanks for the callout

Just syntactic sugar? (it does look cleaner!)
