Linky Links

Haven't done one of these posts in quite a while but I've go too many tabs open and all of them (that aren't work related) are worthy of sharing.

- Steven Pressfield and the Goddess at Our Shoulder.  Writing and philosophical life advice taken from The Odyssey

- Visualizing FTX's balance sheet before bankruptcy. Oh what a tangled web. So tangled its like trying to find the queen in three card monte.

- Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA discovered in ancient South America. We have no clue on how old mankind really is.

- Paul Graham's essay How to Think for Yourself. From the archives but definitely worth the time.

Justice in the Wilderness

Steven Pressfield looks at The Odyssey and if there's a cosmic karmic hand at play in the universe.  

I tend to both believe in karma and also that many times hard times come with lessons that can lead to good times. Sometimes the only lesson is to live in the present.
