What I Learned In 2024: A Tale of Tails

Most people – and definitely society as a whole – seem to have a minimum level of stress. They will never be fully at ease because after solving every problem the gaze of their anxiety shifts to the next problem, no matter how trivial it is relative to previous ones.

Minimum Levels of Stress

Everyone knows one version of the world -- the one that's actually happened. But that's just one of infinitive possibilities that could have occurred.

Technology is a science. It’s semiconductors and code and batteries.

But Steve Jobs talked about how the iPad was playful and begged you to pick it up as much as he’d talk about its processor. The iPhone is a technological marvel, but Jobs spent a lot of time talking about how it felt in your hand, and the experience of opening the box.

The Psychology of Why Prediction Can Be So Hard

Luck plays such a big role in the world. But few people want to talk about it. If I say you got lucky, I look jealous. If I tell myself that I got lucky, I feel diminished.

Maybe a better way to frame luck is by asking: what isn’t repeatable?

And maybe better yet: The way to get luckier is to find what’s repeatable.

Lucky vs. Repeatable
