The Evolution of Everything

This book links a couple of my favourite subjects – Darwin’s theory of evolution, and determinism. But that’s not the only reason it’s a favourite. In sixteen different domains, the author uses the lens of evolution to show how progress has happened (or not), and the momentum of incremental and emergent change. Read it for perspective, and lesser known facts.

Certain, simple frames

My models of interaction with the world at large has helped me convert many uncertainties into risks. But they are far from robust. I realise that I cannot completely control what is thrown at me, I have to build better framing for how to react to it. Maybe that’s the way to make the uncertain, simple.
