Newsletters & Podcasts for Intellectual Diversification

45 newsletters, 30 podcasts, and 15 wild names worth following... Dig for gold among independent voices, so that we can stay sharp and self-aware in the ravaged American intellectual landscape...

Jan 04, 2022

Editor’s Note: Tiger has officially left the podcast and doesn’t intend to do another interview or comment on current affairs. He wrote this piece for internal distribution before his departure, and we’re now sharing it with his followers (with updated links & references).

Technical Note: This post may be too long to be fully displayed in your email. Please visit our Substack site for the most comprehensive and up-to-date version.

This post is an appendix to my article “Diversification of Ideas and Discarded Truths,” where I outline why over the last two years I’ve entirely “decentralized” my media intake – from reading a few renowned mainstream news sources, to gathering info from ~100 Substack newsletters and ~50 podcasts.

The list below doesn’t completely reflect my Substack & Spotify feeds but captures the best sources I would recommend friends to follow. Please feel free to ask me for more recommendations in any areas you’re interested in, especially if you want to know the best comedy podcasts ;)

Newsletters

Within each category, the authors are (somewhat) ranked by order of personal importance / insightfulness.

Generalist writing / research / heuristics:

Tyler Cowen & Alex Tabarrok – Marginal Revolution: Two of the most influential economists in today’s intellectual discourse. Their home base George Mason University isn’t the most top-ranked research university, but Tyler, Alex and their other colleagues in the economics department (like Rohin Hanson and Bryan Caplan) have an outsized influence on the American intellectual landscape, especially in Silicon Valley given their libertarian leaning and pro-innovation policy advocacy. On MR you will find punchy commentary on current events, book reviews, quotes from other insightful writings, and “assorted links,” which in itself is a great gateway to a diverse range of ideas.
Rohit – Strange Loop Canon: A rising superstar newsletter that’s becoming increasingly influential in the entrepreneur and newsletter communities. Rohit writes widely across epistemology, business, culture and more. I’ve come across very few writers who have such a high signal-to-noise ratio. His article “On Medici and Thiel” is the one that made me a huge fan.
Scott Alexander – Astral Codex Ten: One of the most famous OG bloggers doing deep dives on topics from medicine (whether Vitamin D actually plays a role in Covid) to politics (whether Victor Orban is authoritarian in Hungary). A psychiatrist by training, Scott comes from a scholarly perspective and really reasons through studies from the ground up and dissect things with much greater clarity. You can check out his canonical posts from early days here, like “Too Much Dark Money in Almonds” and “Archipelago and Atomic Communitarianism.” He’s got an accompanying podcast that’s great to listen to.
Less Wrong Community – A group of scholars dedicated to improving our reasoning and decision-making. Their writings range from in-depth analysis on Covid to more conceptual takes on epistemology. Amongst community members, Eliezer Yudkowsky is quite the genius and popularized the idea of “Friendly AI;” Zvi’s “Covid models” at the beginning of Covid proved to be very accurate, and his ongoing model updates for new variants have become must-reads for those who wish to get ahead on the data… These are the “nerds” I look up to – academically oriented writings that are nevertheless eloquently written and self-aware of their own biases.
Alex Danco: I believe Alex’s newsletter is the first Substack account I’ve ever subscribed to. He used to work for the famous / notorious venture capitalist Chamath at Social Capital and now at Shopify, hence having a unique lens into the wheels and levers behind high-growth ventures.
David Perrell: Writes essays about tech, education, culture and philosophy; sends out cool links Monday and Friday; has interviewed guests like Matt Levine that are good-quality long-form conversations.
Erik Torenberg – Ideas & Musings: Founder & investor in tech with interesting thoughts on Twitter and Substack.
Maxwell Tabarrok and others – Virginica: It's a blog that Max and a couple friends at UVA started. Punchy essays that take a counterintuitive or underrated stance and support it with evidence and logic. They’re all economics or philosophy majors, so their breadth and depth are impressive. Upon reading their works, you’d realize how little you actually care about credentialism and “Princeton degrees.”
Connor Tabarrok – Of All Trades: A collection of deep dive essays on a diverse range of topics, adjacent to environment, engineering, and economics that are aimed at being interesting and digestible enough to tell someone about at a dinner party – like this one about Chinese demography being built on a Ponzi scheme, or how fungus could cause the next pandemic…
Alexandros Marinos – Do Your Own Research: Unfortunately he’s only written one post in dialogue with one of Scott Alexander’s articles, so perhaps not enough data point to judge, but his Twitter feed has some really in-depth analysis on things.
Katherine Dee – Default Wisdom: Interesting ideas across a wide range of spectrum. Katherine calls her blog long-form Twitter and “an intellectual and emotional scrapbook.”

Business / finance:

Matt Levine: I referred to Matt as “King of *The* Financial Newsletter” in my podcast interview with him. He writes the popular daily newsletter “Money Stuff” on Bloomberg Opinion that has over 150,000 subscribers and a “cult-like” following on Wall Street and beyond. He is widely regarded as one of the most iconic, witty, and sophisticated financial writers of our age.

Byrne Hobart – The Diff: After our interview I asked Matt Levine who he reads, and he said Byrne Hobart. One of, if not the, best business analysts I’ve come across in the blogging world, Byrne never fails to teach me something. Rohit says Byrne’s “insights:words ratio is off the charts.” I believe Byrne and Rohit are the two people I would attribute that praise to.
Ben Hunt – Epsilon Theory: One of the most thoughtful thinkers in the financial world that I got to follow. Ben always boils things down to their core and reveals the underlying structures of the issues. His blog is very much about advancing our fundamental understanding of the bigger picture, rather than scratching the surface and inundating us in noises. You can see my interview with him here, where he analyzed the Gamestop saga, narratives in financial markets, and how to forecast uncertainty.
Marc Rubinstein – Net Interest: I first learned about Marc’s work via Ben Hunt, and much like Ben, Marc is particularly great at dissecting complex financial institutions given his background in the hedge fund world. From fintech firms to large-cap commercial banks, you’ll find some of the best analyses on the financial sector from him.
The Generalist: Their briefings are great deep dives on some of today’s hottest and most relevant tech companies (e.g. Stripe, Discord) and financial institutions (e.g. Tiger Global, FTX).
Ansem: One of the most comprehensive reviews on the crypto and web 3.0 space that’s publicly available. It’s decently technical, but if you have a basic level of understanding about crypto and wish to go deeper about trends and protocols to follow, Ansem would be my first recommendation.
Andrew Walker – Yet Another Value Blog: Great business analysis like Byrne and Marc, with a particular twist gear towards “value” stocks.
Neckar – Insecurity Analysis: I got into Neckar after reading his analysis on Warren Buffet’s supposed reading obsession. Great newsletter about companies and investors.
Packy McCormick – Not Boring: Packy’s rise in the investing and writing communities has been… stunning. He writes great free deep dives about startups on his Substack → promotes these startups and attracts a large following → new startups want his investments → he gets unique access to these startups and writes better deep dives → more people follow him and more startups want his investment… A brilliant virtuous cycle. VCs literally refer their co-investors to Packy’s Substack as actual investment memos when startups can’t share too much data.
Jonah Lupton – Jonah’s Growth Stocks: Jonah covers all the high-growth, newly IPOed tech companies like Upstart, Affirm, Crowdstrike, Snowflake, Sea, etc. These are the names promised to outperform and replace the existing tech giants. They all had stellar rises during Covid but could also represent the “frothiest” parts of valuation in today’s market. Jonah often does interviews with these companies’ CEOs and circulates good content.
Leon Lin – Avoid Boring People: Interesting writings across tech and finance topics.

Politics / culture / society:

Bari Weiss – Common Sense: Bari was the NYT editor who famously quit in 2020, amongst other free-thinking journalists’ great exodus from mainstream outlets. Extremely cogent and insightful, her Substack now has a network of great thinkers that supply articles. Her podcast Common Sense is also one of the best long-form interview podcasts today.
Zeynep Tufekci – Insight: A sociologist and media theorist, Zeynep researches the social implications of new technologies. But her fame reached an all-time-high at the beginning of Covid when she used her NYT column to correctly call on people to wear masks. In the spring of 2020 she was the most convincing (and contrarian) voice on why wearing masks would be crucial from both public health and social perspectives. Her columns today are still some of the best commentaries on Covid’s epidemiological and social implications.
Mike Solana – Pirate Wires: Deep dives into “fringe, uncomfortable, or otherwise strange topics I find interesting,” as Mike describes. He focuses on technology, politics, and culture, and the electric points at which they intersect.
Matt Yglesias – Slow Boring: Matt was a co-founder of Vox with Ezra Klein but left the outlet in 2020 as one of the first famous journalists joining Substack. He’s progressive, but not progressive enough to survive cancellation at Vox. We were going to have him on the podcast, but days after our confirmation he left Vox and obviously became too busy occupied with that, and then he went on Joe Rogan instead, so that’s that…
Jesse Singal – Singal-Minded: Similar situation like Weiss, Yglesias, and Greenwald. Co-host the podcast Blocked and Reported with Katie Herzog, another controversial independent journalist.
Glenn Greenwald: Greenwald is one of America’s most famous journalists for helping Snowden uncover the NSA story. In 2020 he left The Intercept, which he co-founded, for PC reasons similar to Weiss and Yglesias. For better or worse his writing nowadays are mostly flaming the Democrats for breaching civil liberties like the Republicans did with the military-industrial complex during Snowden days. I personally take his words with a grain of salt, but the overall media landscape is certainly better off with voices like his.
Andrew Sullivan – The Weekly Dish: Per Sullivan’s Wikipedia page, “Ross Douthat and Tyler Cowen have suggested that Sullivan is the most influential political writer of his generation, particularly because of his very early and strident support for same-sex marriage [Sullivan is gay himself], his early political blog, his support of the Iraq War, and his subsequent support of Barack Obama's presidential candidacy [as a disenchanted conservative].”
Rob Henderson: A Gates-Cambridge Scholar pursuing a PhD in social psychology at Cambridge and one of the rising stars in conservative intellectual circles. He grew up poor and went to Yale for undergrad as a veteran, which led him to develop insights on the upper class, luxury beliefs, human nature, and other topics in social psychology (covered in our interview here).
Justin E. H. Smith – Hinternet: Very long weekend readings about topics in philosophy, media theory, intellectual history, and all things metaphysical. He also hosts an interesting interview podcast “What Is X.”
Noah Smith – Noahpinion: A good articulation of “the baseline” – if you want a sensible, technocratic view on an issue but don’t want to read The Economist, Noahpinion is the way to go. He tracks the mainstream narrative pretty well but articulates them in a more technical, upgraded way than an outlet like The Economist.
The Righting – “Altering mainstream audiences to today’s headlines from the right.” I use it just to get a glimpse of all the far-right headlines out there, sometimes from media outlets that I had never heard of, but often from mainstream networks like Fox News.

Economics:

John Authers: A free Bloomberg newsletter with daily charts on macro trends and financial markets. My own Substack is heavily influenced by John.
Adam Tooze – Chartbook: A financial historian by training, Tooze has risen to become one of the most prominent public intellectuals in the “cross-Atlantic” discourse. I term that because even though Tooze is a professor at Columbia, his British education and expertise in German history mean he devotes a lot of energy on European affairs. He writes frequently for the Financial Times and London Review of Books, and his voice has become increasingly influential since the 2008 financial crisis and Covid. His twitter is great to follow for economics charts and quick commentaries on current affairs. Check out my interview with Tooze in 2019 here.
Branko Milanovic – Global Inequality and More 3.0: The world’s foremost expert on inequality and a true Leftist (e.g. thinking Elizabeth Warren and Bernie don’t tax enough). His works (like the Elephant Curve) laid the foundation for our understanding of global inequality. He blogs regularly and has recently taken up Substack. You can find some brilliant book reviews, historical analyses, and deep writings on Marxist philosophy there. Check out my interview with Milanovic from 2020 here.
Exante Data – Money: Inside and Out: Another “chart-based” newsletter with great macro analysis and primary source financial data on currency, central banks, etc. – the kind of data that a Treasury official would care about when thinking about international economic policies.

Tech reporting:

Ben Thompson – Stratechery: Ben is hands-down one of the top 5 best tech journalists out there (I’d say he’s the best but just to be conservative). He’s been independent and charging a subscription with his Wordpress website for a long time, so when Substack first started, they were actually asked a lot about Ben’s business model… Ben just has truly unparalleled perspectives on tech and media businesses.
Eric Newcomer – Newcomer: A former tech reporter at Bloomberg and The Information, Eric is deeply plugged-in when it comes all things tech. His interview-based podcast Dead Cat is awesome.
Casey Newton – Platformer: Casey was the Silicon Valley editor of The Verge and left in 2020 to start his own Substack, just like how Eric left to do his thing. Casey spends a lot of time writing about Facebook, Twitter, and social media in particular.
Benedict Evans: Brilliant tech writer; his newsletter is more in the format of a summary briefing / snippets of information, so a bit different from the typical Substack articles. He also hosts a great discussion-based podcast “Another Podcast” about topics in tech.
Dan Wang: His main focus is tech and China. He has become quite influential in the American intellectual discourse and is frequently cited in tech-related discussions, like most recently for his famous argument that Taiwan’s semiconductor capacity cannot be invaded by brute force and can be easily transferred away. His annual letters are great reviews about China, manufacturing, and macro trends.
MIT Tech Review: Gives a good quick overview of all the “flying car” ideas out there every day. Downside is that most of these are literally flying car ideas that aren’t actually that realistic / meaningful but are merely eye-popping on paper, so the signal-to-noise ratio is a bit tough here.

Long-form podcasts

I probably listen to 1-1.5 hrs of podcasts every day just during gym & commutes, and most are long-form interview-based podcasts like Policy Punchline. I also follow some short-form podcasts that give me bites of news or industry updates, but I feel those are not the point of “podcasts” – the power of the medium lies in long, nuanced discussions (as articulated in Policy Punchline’s mission statement), and I’ve found it to be incredibly enriching to listen to a diverse range of interviews over the years. So here I’m only listing the long-form podcasts:

The Joe Rogan Experience: Still the GOAT of all long-form interviews. Forget about Joe’s own opinions – just pick off whatever interesting people that come on his show and listen to what they have to say. I know Joe gets in a lot of trouble, but the unique value proposition of JRE is:
- Joe has access to a really diverse range of highly interesting people, many of whom don’t usually do podcasts (e.g. Elon Musk);
- Joe talks in a really basic (“dumb”) way that often ends up bringing out the most easily digestible conversation with a top scholar;
- It’s funny, if you can look dispassionately at all the goofing around and complaining about CNN – at some point you’d be like “alright Joe come on, stop talking about your supplements” which you may (or may not) find amusing…
Conversations with Tyler: Tyler Cowen is one of the best economists as explained in the newsletter section above. Tyler asks punchy questions in a quick-fire style that no one else can imitate.
The Portal: Eric Weinstein’s flagship contribution to the intellectual discourse (he doesn’t have a newsletter otherwise). Extremely insightful conversations. After a while it becomes diminishing marginal returns, but the first 15 episodes you get through will dramatically change the way you view the world.
Honestly with Bari Weiss: An extension of Bari’s Substack venture; some of the best long-form conversations on politics and culture, just like her writings.
Lex Fridman Podcast: Lex is an AI scientist at MIT, but his podcast has really taken off, and now it seems that he spends more time doing podcasts and MMA with Joe Rogan in Texas rather than researching… He interviews some of the world’s best scientists across disciplines.
The Tim Ferriss Show: Tim is one of the most famous angel investors (Facebook, Twitter, Uber, etc.). His long conversations with top tech thinkers like Naval and Balaji have withstood the test of time as some of the best podcasts ever.
Making Sense with Sam Harris: Sam has been talking a bit too much about meditation… but setting that aside his conversations about politics and culture are great. He is considered one of the founding members of “The Intellectual Dark Web,” along with the Weinstein Brothers, Joe Rogan, and some others.
Rationally Speaking Podcast: Julia Galef is a brilliant interviewer and recently published a book on “scout mindset.” Topics range from crypto innovations with Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, to urgent economic debates like whether Uber should make its workers more than just contractors.
Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History: Brilliant multi-hour deep dives on history topics. Even just getting through a few episodes would start dramatically changing your worldview.
Entitled Opinions (only on iTunes): My high school art history teacher Mr. Callahan, whom I greatly admired, recommended this podcast to me, and it was perhaps the first long-form podcast I followed. Robert Harrison is a Stanford literature professor who has been interviewing leading figures in literature, philosophy, science, and cultural history for over a decade.
Economics & Beyond with Rob Johnson: Rob is the President of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET). He used to work alongside George Soros and Stanley Druckenmiller but now focuses his energy on broadening discourse in economics. His unique background (MIT economics PhD + investment experience) allows him to be one of the few interviewers who could bridge ideas across domains without sacrificing scholarly depth. The podcast typically hosts Nobel Laureates and central bankers, but in March 2021 Rob also interviewed me for 3.5 hours, published in two parts: “Podcasting and the Fragile Public Discourse” and “The Future of Economics.” I’ve obviously grown a lot compared to then, but in hindsight that interview still held up pretty well.
What Is X?: The podcast is hosted by Justin E. H. Smith, whom I’ve introduced above. He aims to produce dialectical inquiry of the sort perfected by Socrates by asking the guest to answer a question of the form “What is X?” (e.g. “What is beauty?” “What is nature?”). Great commentaries on contemporary culture and issues while teaching us a lot about history and philosophy.
The Dig: Founded by the Jacobin Magazine, the podcast discusses the politics of class warfare and “interviews smart left-wing intellectuals and activists about racism, feminism, electoral politics, criminal justice and any issue relevant for a new socialist movement that must understand the world in order to change it.” Very good long-form interviews – I recommend it for intellectual diversification, though, not for reinforcing your existing biases.
The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast: A mixture of good historical & philosophical analysis monologues by Peterson himself and longer interviews he does with others. I read both of Peterson’s books “12 Rules for Life” and “Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life,” and I have to say that Peterson does have a great ability to extract wisdom from canonical texts like The Bible. Whether you agree with his application of these ideas to today’s debates like around transgender people is a different question.
Odd Lots: A leading interview-based podcast about the current hot topics in finance from the supply chain crisis to stablecoin regulation. Hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway are very experienced financial journalists.
Masters in Business: Hosted by Barry Ritholtz, who runs a wealth management firm in New York and is a frequent Bloomberg columnist and financial media contributor. Really good long-form conversations with successful business executives and financiers about their journeys.
Infinite Loops: Host Jim O’Shaughnessy is an investor in New York and has been quite active in the financial media. Good long-form interviews – not limited to finance but also extend to philosophy, art, and more.
Talking Politics: A podcast based in Cambridge University and hosted by David Runciman and Helen Thompson, two renowned public intellectuals in the UK. I complement this podcast with some additional ones produced by The Spectator Magazine, a center-right British publisher. It’s interesting to learn about British politics, and I’m often surprised how much they talk about America (not just in passing but as standalone episodes). The good old neoliberal, pro-globalization grand narrative embedded in much of the British media discourse is honestly quite lost in America today, where the dominant voices seem to solely present a dichotomy between “Trump is harming democracy” versus “cancel culture has gone mad.” It’s refreshing to listen to the Brits’ analysis on global affairs and learn about what problems Boris Johnson is running into.
Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar: Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti are perhaps the iconic “anti-mainstream mainstream” media figures. They were popular hosts of the show Rising but quit The Hill in June 2021 to launch their own show, just like the writers who went independent on Substack. They frequently call out YouTube for shadow-banning and censoring their content, which are well-researched and backed by evidence but often don’t fit the mainstream narrative.
The Ben Shapiro Show: Well… everyone has heard of Ben Shapiro.
The David Pakman Show: I put David right after Ben because some have quipped him to be “The Ben Shapiro of the Left,” which, as I imagine, must not make David very happy. But their shows have similar formats – monologues going over current events, sensationalizing news stories by destroying the other side’s arguments, and once in a while a long-form interview. I don’t really listen to Ben or David’s monologues but do enjoy their interviews a lot. You can check out my interview with David here with the very provocative title “Chaos in Political Discourse and the Rise of Counter-Narrative Media.”
Vox Conversations: This podcast used to be The Ezra Klein Show before Ezra left Vox for NYTimes, and now the rebranded show has largely maintained its original quality. Ezra is one of the best at presenting progressive arguments in a technocratic and rational way.
Future Perfect: Another podcast by Vox. Dylan Matthews was recommended to me by Peter Singer, a Princeton philosophy professor who is largely regarded as one of the most influential and controversial living philosophers today. Prof. Singer taught me a lot about his ways of reasoning through urgent problems in today’s world, and according to him, Future Perfect is such a podcast and blog that explore the provocative ideas that could take us to a more perfect future.
American Optimist: Host Joe Lonsdale is a famous venture capitalist who went to Stanford and founded tech companies like Palantir. Because he works closely with Peter Thiel, his ideology overlaps most with “the Thielists,” as exemplified by how he led the charge of Silicon Valley’s exodus out of California and migration to Texas.
Huberman Lab: Andrew Huberman is a neurobiology professor at Stanford. His podcast is perhaps the most famous when it comes to popularizing science knowledge in nutrition, mental and physical health, etc. David Sinclair is another great scientist in the podcasting world if you’re interested in questions around sleep.
Philosophize This!: Long monologues (like Dan Carlin and Jordan Peterson) providing historical background and analysis on philosophy topics.
Exponent: An extension of Ben Thompson’s Stratechery blog. While Stratechery is Ben’s writings about tech and society, Exponent is a podcast jointly hosted by Ben Thompson and James Allworth. It’s a dialogue-based podcast where the two go back and forth discussing a topic more deeply.
Another Podcast: Much like Exponent, Another Podcast is the extension of tech journalist Benedict Evans’s usual reporting. He is in dialogue with Toni Cowan-Brown like Ben talks to James.
The Epsilon Theory Podcast: Just like the formats of Exponent and Another Podcast, Ben Hunt and Rusty Guinn go back and forth on a topic in finance.
Infectious Historians: Jointly hosted by Merle Eisenberg and Lee Mordechai, two brilliant historians who study the history of disease, disasters, medicine, and science. They started the podcast at the beginning of the pandemic and have provided some of the most nuanced historical analyses on pandemics. Check out my interview with Merle in 2020 here.

“Wild names” on Twitter

The recommendations below were initially sent to me by a friend, who doesn’t want to be named but played a pivotal role in helping me diversify my information intake. The names below aren’t necessarily the ones I most closely follow on Twitter but are simply the ones that I would’ve never encountered had my friends not told me about them. For a more complete list of people you could follow on Twitter, please see here.

Peter Turchin: Fascinating ideas on the evolution of human societies and inter-elite competition. Made some really bold predictions in 2010 that are bearing fruit. We tried getting him on the podcast but he was too busy to do it. His recent piece on The Atlantic “The Next Decade Could Be Even Worse” is quite the read.
Robin Hanson: One of the most underrated George Mason economics faculty. His book The Elephant in the Brain: Hidden Motives in Everyday Life is one of those “must-read” books in the behavioral economics and entrepreneurship community
Whatifalthist: He has a ton of YouTube subscribers and some fascinating alternate history theories. One of my favorite tweets is: “History repeats and is cyclical, but there are like 40 different independent cycles going on at once, as well as entirely new forces arising on a nearly cyclical basis, which means it is simultaneously new as well.”
Matthew Pirkowski: Puts out a lot of ideas, some very smart and some maybe not, but they’re almost always written in a sophisticated way such that they all sound quite valid. Just read this tweet and judge it for yourself whether it makes sense.
Alexander Kreul: Posts a lot of content about science, cognition, consciousness, math, the nature of reality, etc. Writes a Substack called “Axis of Ordinary”
Michael Nielsen and Andy Matuschak: They write on tools for thought and are trying to utilize spaced repetition to do really cool stuff.
Zohar Atkins: Writes on philosophy, but tackles it from a religious tradition. Highly recommend his thread on Heidegger. He should be doing more deep dives in the future. Underrated with only 1,000 followers.
Will: Another person outside of my domain. Super doomer, but good to explore.
Rolf Degen: might be one of the best Twitter follows out there. Signal to noise ratio is off the charts; writes on scientific papers.
José Luis Ricón Fernández de la Puente: his blog Nintil is fantastic. Underrated with only 8,000 twitter followers.
John David Ebert: According to my friend, John is “legitimately insane” and “definitely could not do on Policy Punchline” (lol), but he “knows everything about everything.” He makes a 12-part series on random intellectuals a couple times a week.
Alexey Guzey: A smart up-and-coming blogger from Russia, with topics in science, economics, and more.
Harry Crane: Has good ideas on probability. He could be a bit dry after an extended period of time. You could listen to him for hours if you’re a probability geek. Definitely worth it to check him out.
Martin Kleppe: An ex-Google coder who creates really simple but interesting projects.
Steve Stewart-Williams: Writes about psychology and evolution.

Special thanks to my friends (who do not wish to be named but want to be identified as “unimaginably intelligent”) for constructive feedback and inspiration.
