Topics / questions we discussed include:
- whether you would have backed a 20-something year old John Keats
- why putting ellipses in emails signals high status
- your most irrational belief
- what biographers can teach us about talent identification
- what made the Henry George seminar you ran with Peter Thiel so good
- how Sarah Ruden furnishes herself with massive context to gain an edge over other translators
- What should Obi-Wan have told Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader
- the Sumerian bar joke
- whether countries can be both highly capable of solving collective action problems and extremely innovative
- your view of Australian talent and what makes it unique
Thanks and happy new year!”
Happy New Year everyone!
