1/ The Law of Conservation of Antifragility states that the total anti fragility of an isolated system remains constant, it is said to be conserved over time.

2/ This law means that without altering the system, anti fragility can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another

3/ Within a system, anti fragility can exist at a system level or an a agent level

1/ One of the under-appreciated benefits to having a public persona or personal brand is that it incentivizes long-term thinking.

2/ If a large portion of the career equity you've built up is in the form of goodwill tied to your personal name and reuptationl, it becomes really, really expensive to screw someone.

3/ You can effectively lose all that goodwill in an instant if you are publicly shown to be behaving unfairly.

1/ Reading over DoS vulnerability/possible inflation bug disclosure Bitcoin had last week was an interesting reminder of complexity of software - bitcoincore.org/en/2018/09/20/…

2/ I think it's still widely underapprecciated the degree to which modern systems are complex and interdependent.

3/ The influence of what James Scott called "high modernism," a sort of Enlightment hangover where humans overestimated their control over their environment, is still strong.

1/ Have really been enjoying @focusmate the last few months. It matches you with a partner to help focus and has been great for getting "deep work" done, especially on the road.

2/ One of the unexpected benefits has been that I am often matched with people in other countries.

3/ Even having lived for almost five years outside of the U.S., I find that the experience of living in the U.S. is myopic enough that I tend to lose perspective on the rest of the world.

1/ Equity already works fine for the incentive alignment that tokenization (theoretically) creates.

2/ The problem is transaction costs - legal and government regulation - which make it difficult to make equity “micropayments” (e.g. to a user signing up for a service).

3/ If you removed these transaction costs, we could bootstrap open networks using something like equity crowdfunding.

1/ I love this notion of emotions as adaptive mechanisms for identifying illegible (hard to measure explicitly), but useful things.

2/ The sensation of beauty is an evolved emotion to recognize useful complexity beyond that which can be made explicitly legible.

3/ Interesting is an evolved emotion to recognize the area with the greatest potential for learning
