One of the most important aspects of these workbooks is the remarkable sense of process they provide—not only are the projects they’re concerned with in process, the books themselves are process, and as such unworked. This contrasts with the completed works, as well as with the name that underwrites them. In order to create something, Bergman had... See more
Karl Ove Knausgaard on the Genius of Ingmar Bergman
Falk Lieder, Ming Hsu, and Tom Griffiths showed that the ‘rational’ solution to this computational constraint is to over-sample extreme outcomes. That is, you should apply something like the availability heuristic by calling those more extreme (easily accessible) outcomes to mind. The result is a biased estimate, but one that is optimal given the... See more
Jason Collins • We don’t have a hundred biases, we have the wrong model - Works in Progress
Anthea often uses metaphors to develop and convey new conceptualizations. This approach is in keeping with studies about the significant role of metaphorical thinking in creative intellectual processes in science and beyond. In Clash of Paradigms: Actors and Analogies Shaping the Investment Treaty System, for instance, she likened the system to a... See more

The first is a weakened focus on the concept of bias. The point of decision-making is not to minimize bias. It is to minimize error, of which bias is one component. In some environments, a biased decision-making tool will deliver the lowest error. For example, statisticians and computer scientists often use a class of procedures called... See more

Minimize error not bias
with the properly defined measures of fluid and crystallized intelligence, the experimental group showed a 15 IQ points higher increase than the control group. We concluded that prolonged intensive training in creative problem-solving can lead to substantial and positive effects on intelligence during late adolescence (ages 18–19).

Recognizing that strategy is a creative exercise
I think of the strategy frameworks for more stable environments as castle-building (e.g., Michael Porter’s five forces framework) or chess (e.g., the resource-based view proposed by Jay Barney); that’s in contrast to strategy in dynamic environments, which is more like surfing, where you try to be...

Though he knows it’s not fairly common, Colin’s left needing more:
What if there was a way to overlay somehow that I drank half a bottle of BodyArmor when I started the run? And at mile 6, I briefly stopped to drink some water and eat an energy gel.
And then how can I compare how that nutrition impacted my metrics compared to two weeks earlier when I... See more
