Are you a philosopher-psychologist pretending to be an architect ? I read your other blog about immortality post 40 and one post where you suggested not to Proust the heck out of the data in your life beyond a point. All good advice

I don't think of this as a "people" trait. Everybody has some works where they think differently. Anyone who consistently looks like they think differently probably has a formula you haven't grokked yet. That said, Benjamin Labatut, George Dyson among trad book authors have impressed me with their different thinking

My bedtime reading the last week has been Brad DeLong’s Slouching Towards Utopia. Good read though a little heavy for bedtime. Similar to the last economics book I read, Edmund Phelps’ Mass Flourrishing.

Probably also (primarily) got to do with how easy these things are in terms of effort required, no ? ( P.S. I'm only here coz you're not tweeting anymore )
