Falkenblog post thread: 1/ "Most ex-atheists who become deists turn to Buddhism, so I thought I'd be clear why they are all wrong. I came to Christ via rational inference, not a personal crisis." http://falkenblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/an-economists-rational-road-to.html …
"Yet the leapfrogging focus demands one truly care about abstract people as much as people one knows intimately, which is counter to our human nature" "ants are selfless animals, yet they are also the most warlike and take slaves"pic.twitter.com/yIY1xhbiyI
"This kind of thinking failed because that focus did not soothe, but inflamed us, as the more we thought about ourselves, the more we thought about how others had wronged us."pic.twitter.com/vrWwKkMcKf
Summary: God exists b/c even though it cannot be rationally "proved" it can be rationally observed that all this Stuff is trying to Be.
2/ Favorite quotes page http://falkenblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/my-favorite-quotes.html …
"Almost everything you do will be insignificant, but it is very important you do it" "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies." "Everything ends badly ... otherwise it wouldn't end. " "He who has no need for society, must be either a beast or a god."
3/ "confidence was much more important than accuracy in generating followers. Pundits have a false sense of confidence because that's what the public craves. to be popular you need to be unwarrantedly confident." http://falkenblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/more-benefits-from-overconfidence.html …
"It's hard for me to accept that life is like dancing, where it's just as imprtnt to be skilled and show no self-consciousness. Supreme self-confidence is attractive in almost every dimension: punditry, sex, sales, just not investing. It's surprising there aren't more bubbles."
4/ Jordan Peterson on business theory " I heard him give a talk in which he mentioned initially that he was interested in economics, but was put off by the undefended assumption that people want to maximize their wealth" http://falkenblog.blogspot.com/2017/04/jordan-petersons-business-cycle-theory.html …
"Human life is a narrative quest, focused on a story we find useful and true, an arc that leads to something profoundly good and beautiful. We attend to things we believe will lead us to this objective, and thus, all of our tactics, strategies, are tied in a speculative endeavor"
"It is difficult for people to improvise solutions to their problems, as failure cascades through a complex system. In such a scenario, the first response is to freeze, as rats will freeze initially when moved to a new cage, because all their current environment is unmapped"
"Using the Peterson theory, when something sufficiently anomalous happens, investors see chaos because it portends a major epistemic flaw in their maps. Thus, it is best to wait and see where their maps are wrong before investing more."
"They saw chaos and turtled in, froze like rats in a new cage, and investment declined across the board, which is the essence of a recession. When bad information arises, this causes all investors to put less weight on their Bayesian prior about the future"
Summary: keep your eyes open and your maps updated. allocate buffer for unavoidable catastrophic events where you have to sit there like an idiot while you remake a meaningful reality for yourself.
