Subject: Thanks Sina

Hey you are the best uncle in the world.

G: Why do you think you have all the answers?

S: Huh? I don’t think I have any answers. I’m literally wrong all the time. My uncertainty grows every single day.

 
Alternate Title: “Also known as Rule 17”

T: Why do you think the rules don’t apply to you?

S: The rules don’t apply to anyone. For some reason no one else has noticed.

 
Alternate Title: “I’m not special. And neither is anybody else.”

This year Sina:

· spent several days hiking the Grand Canyon.
· finished grad school.
· circled the Mediterranean.
· witnessed a revolution in real-time.
· became extremely intolerant of intolerance.
· made some very smart investments.
· became fascinated with organizational systems, processes, and innovation.
· and also artificial intelligence, consciousness, and natural selection.
· started a new project — or, a new journey.
· became a mentor.
· went back to work. sigh.
· went back to commuting, even if only temporarily. double sigh.

It all looks good on paper. Never trust paper.

Many months ago (in several tapas bars in Spain, actually) I created a website to publish all the research I do. It’s about time I link to it here: tannutuva.org

Don’t ask me what the point is: there is no point, it’s just a hobby. I still don’t have as much content as I’d like, but I’m working on it.

 
PRO TIP: View it on a mobile — it’s just gorgeous.

Monetary guru Scott Sumner quotes my email in a post today: http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=24918

They are passing each other in the corridor. “Hey,” she says.

He thinks in reply: “I want to spend my whole life with you.”

He hesitates. Blinks. “Hey,” he says.

They continue on their way.

Tonight.
