I've probably listened to 15 hours of Rhonda Patrick interview recently, she's incredibly smart and well informed. Good starting points: https://peterattiamd.com/rhondapatrick/ https://overcast.fm/+KebtYdBkI

Maybe rebuttal is the wrong word, but it's certainly an elaboration on what the actual science in the studies and meta-studies say (and don't say) rather than the headlines that everybody has seen and repeat.

Worth watching, for a good rebuttal of the recurring meme in media about supplementation being all bad/BS:

Good books. They cost the same as crappy books, and the rights ideas can be worth millions if not billions of dollars.

Isn't it great to have a commerce secretary with large stock holdings who's actively shorting things while in office? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/02/wilbur-ross-shorted-two-additional-shares-as-commerce-secretary.html

A new podcast launched today by Peter Attia, who has been a guest on a few other podcasts over the years, and he always stood out to me as a clear and independent thinker: https://peterattiamd.com/podcast/ Him as a guest on other podcasts: http://investorfieldguide.com/attia/ https://tim.blog/2014/12/18/peter-attia/ http://podcastnotes.org/2018/04/27/attia-2/

This tool is very commonly used in dictatorships. Just read Orwell. Those who grew up behind the Iron curtain know this very well. Or read Trump's Twitter.

Looks like there's a new book on the works: https://www.thebookseller.com/news/william-collins-scoops-kahnemans-book-7-figure-pre-empt-752276

Lately I've been listening chronologically through the archives of Jocko Willink's podcast. He's a former Navy SEALs, interesting guy. Not related (directly) to finance/investing, but certainly a lot of interest life lessons in there, as well as lots of cool historical anecdotes (most of the early episodes are him going through a book and then doing a Q&A). http://jockopodcast.com I discovered him through interviews he did with Tim Ferriss and Joe Rogan (he also did one with Sam Harris), if you want a good starting point. https://tim.blog/2015/09/25/jocko-willink/ https://samharris.org/podcasts/the-logic-of-violence/

https://variety.com/2018/film/news/pixar-boys-club-john-lasseter-cassandra-smolcic-1202858982 This is pretty sad. I liked Ed Catmull's book about shaping the creative culture at Pixar. Seems like he should have focused on other parts of the culture too...

Agreed.

This feature exists in effectively any commodity business. Not only that, but crypto-mining equipment probably has a rather short useful life and needs to be replaced at frequent intervals to keep up. That's if it doesn't become worthless at some point because of proof-of-stake becoming more popular.
