Read this one recently. Like this author in general and definitely agree with his perspectives on interventions in foreign countries, financial markets, bailing out banks.. in general on people who don’t take any risk for their opinions and actions. But also on the smaller scale, why you should take risks for things you do and how/why that makes you to do things better and learn faster. “what you learn from the intensity and the focus you had when under the influence of risk stays with you. You may lose the sharpness, but nobody can take away what you’ve learned. This is the principal reason I am now fighting the conventional educational system, made by dweebs for dweebs. Many kids would learn to love mathematics if they had some investment in it, and, more crucially, they would build an instinct to spot its misapplications.”
