    Meta-thread: Over the years I may be learning to use Twitter. Recently I've started to make threads, although not posting all tweets at the same time. I recommend you link/chain yours too, if you want to find them later For me, first the pinned tweets:https://twitter.com/trylks/status/928654210924761089?s=19 …

        My first thread was on incentives alignment, some people say it's related w/ skin in the game. I derailed it later when I should have started a new one. We cannot edit tweets from the past, time never goes back, Twitter subcommunicates a good lesson.https://twitter.com/trylks/status/955670580690407424?s=19 …

        Technically I'm linking threads, so it's a tree. But they refer to each other. So it's a graph. I started a new thread on incentives alignment, but I am more concerned about the particular alignment of economic profit and human well-being (next thread).https://twitter.com/trylks/status/1014622011019186177?s=19 …

        This is the long due thread about the alignment between economic profit and human well-being. In the past, this alignment was not too bad, but everything changes. IMHO addressing it should be a priority due to the opportunity cost in terms of well-being.https://twitter.com/trylks/status/1043722127826915328?s=19 …

        This is a thread on human well-being & economy alignment, esp. businesses/companies It's related w/ other threads like incentives alignment, focusing on value creation & how markets react Disclaimer: I'm not an economist.

        Here's a thread (w/ some sub-threads) about why I should quit my job (maybe you too). I never planned to write it, but I was finding too much information pointing in that direction. Maybe YouTube algorithm + selective perception? Worth considering anyway:https://twitter.com/trylks/status/1004089775907917828?s=19 …

        this is the best example of the real dangers of AI that I have seen so far, enough to motivate the creation of a thread to keep them. It may be a short one, but a good one. Also note: the problem is not unplugging it, but wanting to and lose profits https://twitter.com/gchaslot/status/1036323806242066432 …

        No relativism or nihilism thread. Some things matter, some things can be known. You may be wrong. Deal with it. Try to be less wrong. I appreciate corrections.https://twitter.com/trylks/status/1036508168636039168 …

        Reminder: you may not know how to evaluate something, that does not make it subjective Subjective matters have no consequences on objective ones, otherwise the criteria for the latter would propagate to the former Rule of thumb: something is subjective only if it is irrelevant

        Short thread on immortality and transhumanism Nothing is perfect, in our politics, economy, biology,… Why shouldn't we strive for improvement?https://twitter.com/trylks/status/1033280284052127745 …

        When reminded of their own mortality, most humans choose to reinforce the comfortable mantra of its inevitability, few dare to think it may be solved, fewer find a way to work on it, underfunded. Nevertheless, if it were achieved, everybody would claim their right to it.

        Education is broken and humanities are useless, also: science is not what you think it is, neither engineering; philosophy and art are self-sustained bubbles. We all need more evidence.

        Poor people debate, they cannot put any money where their mouth is, they need to convince many other poor people to be economically relevant Rich people invest, build, shape the world.
