One day before Branch Rickey’s birthday, a hot take machine on Fox Sports named Ben Verlander rewrote history. If you would like to be spared the two minutes necessary to watch him be wrong, I’ll give you the highlights: Verlander thinks that the signing of Shohei Ohtani is “the most important signing in Dodgers history.” Yes, I put quotes around it becaus… ncG1vNJzZmiokaq5pcPHoqueZqOqr7TAwJyiZ5ufonyxe8SdrJyZpJ67qHnTsKCtrJWneqOxzWatnqqclrulsdGs
Watch on YouTube Ed Leamer is my close friend and one of the deepest and most provocative economists I know. Ed's written five outstanding professional books and has published a slew of articles in economics' leading journals. Ed's also the brother of the famous author, Larry Leamer, whose podcast will appear in a couple of days!  Ed's economics career started as an Assistant Professor at Harvard. I met him there as a first-year grad student.
All good investing, in my humble opinion, embraces nuance. If you are too dogmatic and only engage in black or white thinking, the market is likely to humble you, at least over the long run.

Listening to your address and your discussion with Steven Strogatz, I found myself thinking about my own early feelings about math. I resisted math as a child, but at several times, a teacher took me aside and told me they thought I would be good at it. Their confidence in me made me rethink my own lack of confidence in myself. This spark of confidence brought me back to math. Confidence grew with success and eventually helped me believe that if something is difficult at first, I will get it.
Heavenbanning is one of the nastiest and most brilliant ideas of the internet age. It works like this. Say you’re an annoying and unpleasant person who spends too much time online—which, if you’re reading this, is probably true. You waste your life posting your preferred brand of nonsense, rambling about vaccines or the shadow state or other things the mainstream media doesn’t want anyone to know about, until eventually your outbursts reach the attention of someone important.
You can tell a lot from a picture. A simple snapshot can speak volumes, showing one thing while saying something completely different. A perfect example is WWD featuring Eileen Guggenheim’s photo as a luminary at The Tribeca Ball. The article displays beautiful photos of beautiful people. But it is also a statement. Her photo in that magazine means the New York City elite still support her despite credible allegations of her feeding young women into Epstein’s trafficking ring.
