I have greatly reduced the ML algorithms I expose myself to over the last few years, though I have to say that I am grateful for the Substack algorithm helping me find out about you and your essays.
Ya! It's not all or nothing. I enjoy a little algorithmic magic as much as the next person. Though I do find it really interesting that most of the best substack writers I've found have come not from algorithmic suggestions, but from the recommendations feature. IE, how real people have found out about good things for millennia.
I guess I’m not totally sure if it was the algorithm or someone else I follow or interact with interacting with you, now that I reflect on it a bit more. In any case, I’m glad I have encountered your writing! I’ve been digging into Stoic philosophy for a few years now, and I think you do a very good job writing about these ideas in a clear and compelling way.
Wow, so much to unpack here. Just sent to my spouse for dinnertime discussion.
Nice! The fact that I got two people in the real world talking about this makes my day. Hope it's fruitful!
This is great! thank you!
“And who is your master? Whoever has authority over anything that you’re anxious to gain or avoid.” — Epictetus, Discourses, 2.2 This is so accurate.
This is wonderful - I want to save it to come back to. Thanks
Thanks! I'm glad it's helpful.
