Grandfather Paradox/Jim Simons Trading Strategy The NagerBazar Newsletter where I share something useful, something productive and something entertaining. Dear all Have you heard of the 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘅? It's a thought experiment in time travel that goes like this... Imagine you travel back in time and 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 before he has children. This would mean you were never born, so how could you have gone back in time to kill him? AI generated photo of a Grandfather 😀 This paradox raises the question: can the past be changed through time travel, or is it fixed? If the past can be changed, then what happens to the present and future? Some solutions to the Grandfather Paradox involve the idea of 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙡 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨. If you went back in time and changed something, you would create a new timeline where that change occurred, while the original timeline would remain unchanged. Another solution is the idea of predestination - that 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙, and any attempt to change the past is futile. The Grandfather Paradox is a fascinating concept that raises many philosophical questions about the nature of time, causality, and free will. It also highlights the potential dangers of time travel - if changing the past is possible, then any action we take could have unintended and unpredictable consequences for the future. **One Video I Enjoyed** Jim Simons 7 Strategies to earning a 66% return per year across a 31 year time span. https://youtu.be/cm7kkHtZiJA **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** 5 dead-simple steps to build a daily writing habit (that you can actually stick to): https://twitter.com/dickiebush/status/1609198917312192512 21 coding lessons I learned https://twitter.com/BoringSaaSGuy/status/1575803756993658886 **Three New Websites I Enjoyed and Liked** Send self destructive notes. https://privnote.com/ Compare the size of your baby to stuff you know. https://babysizer.com/ Now let's play some time pass game without any registration http://entanglement.gopherwoodstudios.com/en-GB-index.html **Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked** Don't believe what your eyes are telling you.

Buridan's ass/Cognitive Biases Explained/Wikipedia game The NagerBazar Newsletter where I share something useful, something productive and something entertaining. Dear All, Imagine a hungry donkey placed equidistant from two identical bales of hay. The donkey is equally hungry and has an equal desire for both bales of hay, but cannot decide which one to eat first. As a result, the donkey stands still, unable to choose and eventually dies of hunger. Buridan's ass is a philosophical thought experiment that explores the concept of decision-making when faced with two equally desirable options. Buridan's ass The point of the story is to illustrate the dilemma of decision-making when presented with two equally desirable options, which can lead to indecision and inaction. This thought experiment is often used to emphasize the importance of having a clear set of priorities and values when making decisions, to avoid becoming paralyzed by indecision.For.For example, imagine you are trying to decide between two job offers that are equally appealing. Both jobs offer good pay, benefits, and opportunities for growth. However, one job is located closer to your family, while the other offers a more flexible schedule. If you are unable to prioritize your values and make a decision, you may end up stuck in a state of indecision, like Buridan's ass, and miss out on both opportunities. It's important to weigh the pros and cons, consider your values and priorities, and make a decision based on what matters most to you. **One Video I Enjoyed** 12 Cognitive Biases Explained - How to Think Better and More Logically Removing Bias Video Link **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** Jay Yang shared 7 simple tips to become a world class storyteller.

Epistemic humility/Standing of Folded Man/ The Burning Monk

Epistemic humility/Standing of Folded Man/ The Burning Monk The NagerBazar Newsletter where I share something useful, something productive and something entertaining. Dear All, Today's uncommon topic is Epistemic humility. Epistemic humility is the recognition that we do not know everything and that our beliefs may be fallible. It involves an openness to new information and the willingness to revise our beliefs when confronted with evidence that challenges them. Source:http://archive.timesandseasons.org/2012/12/the-opposite-of-epistemic-humility/ Here are a few real-life examples to illustrate this concept: Medical diagnoses: Imagine you have been experiencing chronic headaches and visit a doctor who diagnoses you with a certain condition. If you are epistemically humble, you would understand that the diagnosis is not necessarily definitive and seek second opinions or further testing before accepting it as absolute truth. Political beliefs: Let's say you strongly believe in a particular political ideology, but then you read a well-researched article that presents evidence that challenges your beliefs. If you are epistemically humble, you would be willing to consider the new information and possibly revise your beliefs, rather than dismissing it outright. Scientific research: Scientific research is built on the concept of epistemic humility. Researchers conduct experiments to test their hypotheses, and if the data does not support their initial beliefs, they revise their theories and continue testing. This process of constant revision and openness to new information is what makes scientific progress possible. In all of these examples, epistemic humility involves recognizing the limits of our own knowledge and being open to the possibility that we may be wrong. It allows us to continue learning and growing throughout our lives. **One Video I Enjoyed** A man suffered from a form of ankylosing spondylitis so severe that his upper body folded onto his thighs.

Law of Triviality/Writing Effective Emails/Time Saving Tips

	Law of Triviality/Writing Effective Emails/Time Saving Tips The NagerBazar Newsletter where I share something useful, something productive and something entertaining. Dear all Let's imagine that a company is holding a meeting to discuss a new project proposal. The project is complex and involves multiple departments, technologies, and stakeholders. However, during the presentation, the participants spend most of their time discussing what to order in snacks for the refreshments, what should be the logo etc etc. Courtesy: https://yorkesoftware.com/tag/law-of-triviality/ The Law of Triviality, also known as Parkinson's Law of Triviality, is an observation that people tend to spend more time and energy discussing and debating relatively minor issues, while ignoring more complex or important ones. This can happen because trivial issues are easier to understand and debate, and everyone feels qualified to have an opinion on them. Here are seven examples to illustrate the Law of Triviality: In a meeting to discuss a new office building, the majority of time is spent debating the color of the carpets, rather than the design or safety features of the building. During a political campaign, voters spend more time discussing a candidate's hairstyle or clothing choices, rather than their policies or experience. In a software development project, the team spends a significant amount of time debating the name of a variable, rather than the overall architecture or functionality of the code. In a company's budget meeting, most of the discussion is focused on smaller expenses like office supplies, rather than major investments or business strategy. During a family vacation planning session, most of the conversation centers on the type of snacks to bring or which games to play in the car, rather than the itinerary or travel logistics. **One Video I Enjoyed** How stores track your shopping behavior | Ray Burke Why are companies so intent on using technology to track our behavior? Our actions reveal what we desire, how we shop, and why we buy. Retailers can now learn so much more about shopper behavior than ever before, and while these "big data" applications create concerns about privacy, the detailed data can be used to design stores, product offerings and promotions that connect with our interests, speed up the shopping process, and help us find items we will buy. These new tools are critical to improving store efficiency and shoppability; and offer a vision of the future of retailing. https://youtu.be/jeQ7C4JLpug **Two Tweets I Enjoyed and Liked** How to write emails like a boss (according to an award-winning author): https://twitter.com/_alexbrogan/status/1630572348632858624?t=sBmsLGvrqZNDjO-2TOFt_w&s=19 15 Powerful affirmations that will reprogram your subconscious mind and unleash its power: https://twitter.com/growthhub_/status/1630596381835505665?t=8wl_1Pmq9m-hdw8pE3BBYw&s=19 Subscribed **Three New Websites I Enjoyed and Liked** Wonderful website which will allow you to transfer files to others in few clicks without uploading it to any server. https://www.sharedrop.io/ Did you ever tried to convert the text you type into music? if not, then you should try this website which i will provide you here. http://kickthejetengine.com/langorhythm/ Do you ever tried to hoist flag of your country?
