Training log, no-gi. Worked a straight-arm takedown sequence and some sweeps from inside de la Riva and Kiss the Dragon. Sparring, did mostly open guard sweep/sub scenarios but mixed in some full rolls at a lower intensity, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z_UYv5w_Qk

Training log, regional open mat with 60-70 BJJers: 20ish 4 min rounds playing open guard sweep/sub/pass—mix of gi/no-gi—broken up by 3 instructionals on guard passing, retention and north-south/darce chokes. Great to be exposed to such diversity of experience, style and physical characteristics.

So am I! A couple more weeks, I think, until the full experience is available to me once more.

Training log, gi: worked on some worm-guard-ish lapel sweeps and some subs (baseball chokes, armbars etc.). Sparring, 1/2 lighter rolls, plus some full rolls playing open guard sweep/sub/pass rules. Played both top and bottom this time—getting near to 100% recovery.

I can almost guarantee that I'm reading it with a magnitude less attentiveness than you, though :D

@ars think this has a bearing on your quest to understand/improve MedTech capital allocation. Capital allocation gets better when one can effectively filter for cases that are non-BS compressions?

Additional speculation re: people that get pitched a case. Their ability to discern a BS vs a non-BS case is dependent on their ability to detect an actual compression (e.g. derived from domain expertise) vs a pseudo-compression (e.g. leans on a timely trend alone). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

Been thinking about this more as working on finding a strong archetypical case to lead with. Speculation: effective memes are compressions of archetypical cases. https://swellandcut.com/2023/11/08/archetypical-case-making/ https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/0812.4360#S5

Indeed. Downstream of this, I think. https://twitter.com/nikitabier/status/1777712633082212411

Hmmm. That the relationships/interactions matter so much more than the practices/objects of sharing and curation themselves.

Training log, no-gi. Worked on shooting for a single leg takedown, and then did a basic sweep, a seatbelt grip counter, and a kimura throw takedown into the crucifix. Sparring: a few lighter flow rolls and some hard rolls playing open guard pass/sweep/sub. Finally opened up a real tricky half guard and got a sub, too.
