I don’t think any community that I’ve participated in was an excellent filter for people that I wanted to stay in touch with… Which is interesting to think about. I think interacting with people on the internet or interesting people on the internet is probably the one thing that seems like the best filter
Interview with Ben Kuhn about productivity, his college experience, job choice, the value of an inside view, the EA community - Alexey Guzeythis approach selects for the wrong type of doctor—a shallow and competitive one. A doctor who has not learned how to make mistakes and learn from them. A doctor who is never given the chance to challenge herself, take risks, discover her real strengths and weaknesses.
Why I became a computer scientist instead of a doctorbiologically-produced molecule would, for the first time in history, outsell the iPhone
Beyond Steel Tanks - by Asimov Press and Elliot Hershberg“antedisciplinary” science—the science that precedes the organization of new disciplines
“Antedisciplinary” ScienceYou want to go where a question takes you, not where your training left you
“Antedisciplinary” Sciencenew fields in science that have been opened, I don't think of interdisciplinary teams combining existing skills to solve a defined problem—I think of single interdisciplinary people inventing new ways to look at the world
“Antedisciplinary” Sciencelooking for problems that seemed impossible but weren’t really that challenging
When to Give Up - Ideas MatterNow whenever I hit a block, I ask myself if troubleshooting will take as much effort as starting something new. If so, it’s usually time to kill it and try to find something better.
When to Give Up - Ideas MatterBut not every scientist post-Nobel Prize does interesting research, or research at all
Nintil - Book review: Scientific Freedom, the elixir of civilizationScience can't just be making discoveries, those discoveries should also be put to good use and it can often be the case that the basic research has been done but no one has stepped in to collect bits of it and cobble together a new invention.

What's Different? Using the model - by Elliot HershbergComing from a life science background and want to build? Learn a “building” skill that you find interesting: coding, visual art/design, Arduino, 3D printing, etc.
The Builder Era of Biology. Life science degrees are like CS… | by Michael Trịnh | MediumA trailblazer with a generous heart for all living beings
Notes: May 15, 2022You need to not make a fool of yourself in the first five minutes. After that, you can sound stupid. It's just that early on, you want to show that you’ve done your homework because there is nothing worse than someone reaching out to you who doesn't have any context and just thinks that they will get some free advice from you.
Master Plan - Justin Glibert (Foundation)When I meet people, one kind of quick filter I have to see if we’ll get along is whether, in their life story, they’ve done things that are not just hard, but also without a playbook.
Master Plan - Justin Glibert (Foundation)learning how the universe works will always give you an edge over people who don’t know how it works
Master Plan - Justin Glibert (Foundation)By changing who you are addressing, and the responses you garner, you steer your development. You become more agentic.
A blog post is a very long and complex search query to find fascinating people and make them route interesting stuff to your inboxThe best you can do is figure out what sort of work you have an "aptitude" for, so that whatever intelligence you were born with will at least be put to the best use, and then work as hard as you can at it.
Beyond SmartWhy do so many smart people fail to discover anything new?
Beyond SmartI've been covering conferences for 10+years and here are some tips.
newbie question about covering conference : JournalismBoil it down to a slightly rearranged scientific method: Observation: what is the gap in knowledge this research is trying to address? Hypothesis: what do they think the answer is? Conclusions: what do they think they saw? Experiments: what were their lines of evidence? Did you find it convincing? Are the controls satisfying? Iteration: what next steps do they propose? New gaps identified? Then from there, I'd add more general thoughts, did they make their point well? Were there experiments they maybe should have done that they didn't? What do you think it would be interesting to follow up on?…
