  1. I've spent most of my time since 2020 tweeting as @elzr. I joined back in 2007 but it took some 13 years (and a global pandemic) to make enough friends over there for it to get really good. Some fave threads: diagram on logic, computation & geometry , 🟰 how I wish I could manipulate equations, a gobsmacking definition of computers,
    • Formal Real Estate

      His thought places a big emphasis on the cash-cycle of different enterprises and how cash-solvency is the critical common concern of all enterprises in an industrial society: not just businesses but households too, hospitals, city governments, school distrits… Making a profit is the goal of business, and no-one frowns on a cash surplus, but "cash solvency, not maximization, is the pivotal ...

    • What Money Promises

      Last night I finally watched The Big Short.I loved it, though Margin Call remains my favorite film of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. Anyway, it reminded me that a few months ago Felix Martin's book was a mind-expanding read. I have this weird habit of lighting up books with 7-color depths (using fancy imported markers).Partly I do it to focus attention & make reading more interactive: it ...

    • London Review of Books

      I 'm testing out new habits: this blag, a gameful morning routine, more podcasts & audio (the audio version of The Economist is superb), the occasional fancy breakfast, more cycling, no Netflix, study-lounging…Subscribing to the London Review of Books is another such experiment. It took over a month a half for my first physical copy to finally arrive but when it did it was something precious.

    • Theory as Music

      Last week I attended a 3-day seminar by Amador Fernandez-Savater, a Spanish philosopher.We discussed the (political!) ideas of desire & affection in the pre-posmodern (!) stage of the thought of French philospher Jean-François Lyotard, who is clearly a continental thinker.I had many reservations about attending and the leftist, artist, activist crowd was definitely not my usual company.

    • Ode to Elevate

      B rain-training is one of those fishy new concepts born burdened with an overpromising name. So is gamification. But behind the hype there is clear promise and Elevate is an iOS/Android app that surprised me by truly delivering a fun, gameful way to get a bit smarter & sharper every day.. It's now been 43 days that I've used the app EVERY single day, almost since the very first day I found it.

  2. STEPHEN WOLFRAM TO RICHARD P. FEYNMAN, SEPTEMBER 26, 1985. In the early 1980s, Stephen Wolfram turned his energies from traditional areas of fundamental physics to creating the new field of complexity research. Some physicists and science administrators were skeptical about this new direction. ... Back to ELZR.com. Get this blag as an ...
