This looks really cool. Bookmarked. I hope I can make some time to play with it. Nice work.

"Kahnemann had the intellectual honesty"

I once heard an interviewer ask him if Kahneman was still susceptible to cognitive biases after reading the book. He said something to the effect of "absolutely, they're tough to escape". I really appreciated that. People that recognize and acknowledge the fallibility of their own minds are a breath of fresh air.


I don't think that's a great example. If Kahneman claimed not to be susceptible, it would have greatly undermined his claims about the universality of these phenomena: many other people would presumably also not be susceptible.

If I remember correctly I took the interviewer's question to mean "now that you're aware of these cognitive biases are you still affected by them?" not "do you experience cognitive biases?". I don't see the first question at odds with the universality claim. The latter would be.

"Stand by Me" was based on "The Body" from that same book. Great collection.

"Apt Pupil" was also adapted as a movie tho not as good as the other two, imvho.

Fun fact Apt pupil has a reference to Shawshank where the main character says he lives off stocks that a banker setup named Dufresne who went to prison for murdering his wife.

King does this all the time in his stories having character connections across different novels, making them set in the same universe. Fun, adds some depth to all of it. Like Randal Flagg being the same villain in the Stand and the Dark tower and Eyes of the Dragon.


And the MC from 11/22/63 meeting the characters from It, and feeling Pennywise's presence.

He took it a bit too far with Harry Potter, Spiderman, and Star Wars

The fact that I want to delete it infuriates me. The fact that you can't delete the app infuriates me more.

I open it semi-regularly with some naive hope that it won't be garbage.


Andrew Huberman did an episode in October on the lymphatic system. I learned a lot. Highly recommend.


This is really interesting, thank you.


These are gorgeous. Nice work.


Thank you, I appreciate it! :)


As someone unfamiliar with this field, I'm amazed at how readable this is. Must be a great professor.


Great idea! What/who are you using to print the postcards?


Thank you! Right now it's wired up to Lob to print/send postcards.


Aphex Twin's "Digeridoo" is incredible. It's a 4-song EP so it repeats often, but that's a feature for me.
