Interesting Reads

The Origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?

“The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted lives the world over for more than a year. Its death toll will soon reach three million people. Yet the origin of pandemic remains uncertain: The political agendas of governments and scientists have generated thick clouds of obfuscation, which the mainstream press seems helpless to dispel.”

The Ladders of Wealth Creation

Strategic Dominance: A Guide to Dominant and Dominated Strategies

“Strategic dominance is a state in game theory that occurs when a strategy that a player can use leads to better outcomes for them than alternative strategies.”

Work on What Matters

“We all have a finite amount of time to live, and within that mortal countdown, we devote some fraction towards our work. Even for the most career-focused, your life will be filled by many things beyond work: supporting your family, children, exercise, being a mentor and a mentee, hobbies, and so the list goes on. This is the sign of a rich life, but one side effect is that time to do your work will become increasingly scarce as you get deeper into your career.”
