What a great article. I'll think about this now. The Ripple idea is really interesting.

The humbling of the maths snobs [link] via @ft by Janan Ganesh is worth a read.

I love this guy. The only problem I have is that he is such a Europhile Canadian that, after 30 minutes watching his stuff, I want to make a film about the joys of strip-malls, drive-thrus and multi-storey car parks!

Sensationally good book, and with an audiobook read by the co-author @brianchristian - always better. Very interesting section explaining creative process in algorithmic terms, analagous to simulated annealing @RogerLMartin will like.

Funnily enough, I haven't yet read Beginners, but Tom's Traffic is one of my all-time favourite books.

Truly excellent book by @AlexHormozi , not least for its healthy coverage of B2B. [link] via @AmazonUK

It is a superb book. I started it thinking it was silly, and by the end was enlightened.

Actually read this. (@robkhenderson you'll like it). It suggests that a lot of noise promoting equality of opportunity contains an implicit justification of a highly hierarchical society, layered along cerebral lines. Best to read it twice as it is counterintuitive at first.

Well, you can hardly complain about stereotyping from your side. This is an interesting read - and quite necessary, I think. It was a horrific act of demographic over-generalisation.

A strange assertion, but having finished watching Clarkson's Farm, I believe it is one of the most important and revelatory television programmes ever made. Darwin, Michael Polyani, James C Scott, Taleb, Peter Kropotkin, Burke, Adam Smith - it's all there. @NGruen1 @nntaleb
