What are some lifestyle choices or decisions you’ve made that most people would consider “unconventional”? — taking a different path, coloring outside the lines, etc. If those choices are in hindsight, how do you think about them now?

1. For multiple years, I spent about 60% of my waking hours playing chess. 2. Quit my job at a prestigious hedge fund, hello
@CliffordAsness, to start a company. 3. Got cognitive behavioral therapy for obsessive compulsive disorder and did it without meds.
4. Taught myself Chinese while living on and off in China. 5. Built a warehousing operation in rural Texas. 6. Started a litigation financing company when such thing did not exist.

1. Basically a waste of time. Success in one field did not translate to another and unfortunately I did not learn how to learn. Domain dependence :( 2. I'd love to see the parallel universe where I did not quit. 3. Hardest and best thing I've ever done. Kill your demons.

4. China was hard. Learning Chinese was pointless. It's a bit like chess. It's cool to say you can do it but it doesn't get to anywhere if you dont love it for its own sake. 5. So fucking hard. I learned a lot, especially in management. Will look upon this favorably.
