Building a dashboard
Building a dashboard to track a few US economy metrics that aligns with my investing philosophy. Position well enough to not get diluted by the absurd money printing from the US economy. I will upload this dashboard for free when it is done. I explained why in a short article here. Dashboard is live here.
Avoiding books found at the airport.
Most books on airport shelves are contemporary. They are sensible books, but are not that helpful for growth. It's like doing bicep curls instead of chin-ups. I have read about fifty of these self-help books in the last three years, and they are starting to become really boring. They are written in similar styles, address similar problems, and generally just make you feel hopeful and encouraged. From this vantage point, I guess they make a good start for someone who hates reading or does not even know where to begin. I guess that's why they are so popular - Bestseller this, Bestseller that. I'm optimizing for truth-seeking now. I want to read books that explore truths. The more boring the better.
A Twitter-like from Balaji and Eric Jorgenson
Balaji reached out via Twitter DM and encouraged me to visit Network School (yes, I know it's probably just his employee marketing it for him), but I am likely going to Network School sometime this year. Simply because I am currently exploring ideas that Balaji has been very passionate about. I am also seeing problems our society is facing that we aren't having enough conversation around. My goal there is to surround myself with individuals who think deeply about these issues, and to help shape the reality I would be proud of.
Learning about AI tools
I've been wanting to catch up with the AI industry. Now that I am tasked with the next project of integrating AI into a company, I can prioritize my work around this one objective: to become a pro at AI and teach it.
