As a reminder, I’ve decided to iterate on the approach to The Itinerant Weekly. Going forward it will now be a much more concise compilation of the most interesting content I encountered this past week. We’ll test this approach out for a few months and see how it goes.
If you only have 30 minutes, listen at 1.5x speed to Predicting Catastrophic Events (Prof. Didier Sornette) and How to Avoid Blackswans (Warren Buffet).
Remember, The Itinerant Weekly is available on Diamond, Mirror.xyz, Medium and now Paragraph.xyz, and at www.theitinerant.io.
