I created this forum so that I would have a way to write out my thoughts on various topics; I like being able to hit the "edit" button, add in a new thought, and then hit "save"; I find it faster than updating a more traditional website. I also like the prospect of having other smart people post their thoughts on what I have written. In this thread I outline the various topics I discuss in this forum in an organized way, because the forum itself organizes things by the date of the last post (which is not the way I want to have things set up).A reminder:
A reminder: I have unrefined drafts of ideas in this forum, and I discuss controversial and complicated topics in my forum. Please excuse anything I say that’s uninformed; if you let me know how I’m mistaken and I find you convincing, I’ll revise what I’ve written. I am no stranger to changing my mind on things.
Misc thoughts to file
- The reason it's so important to be able raise money and manage large amounts of capital (millions of dollars) is that generally the smaller opportunities (that require less capital) also produce less profit. This sounds obvious to me as I'm writing it, but it isn't a skill most people spend any time studying.
- It's occurred to me that scientists/professors who are trying to get published may have a bias toward studying short-term effects of things rather than the long-term effects, b/c it's easier to put an experiment together that will measure the short-term effects, and you'll be able to knock out a paper faster. For example, they may have a bias toward studying the short-term effects of sleep deprivation rather than the long-term effects. Maybe. It's just a thought I've had. I'll need to think about it more.
