Last year I had the pleasure of training with Dan Inosanto. For those who dont know the name he was a friend and colleague of Bruce Lee’s. We spent an afternoon listening to his wisdom and getting everything i could from someone who was 77 and still in wonderful condition. During one of the breaks…
Time to continue the World Cup theme – Some back-of-the-envelope maths regarding Luis Suarez: according to Wikipedia, he has played in 363 club league, cup and friendly matches since breaking through into the Nacional senior team in the 2005/06 season. He’s also played 78 times for the Uruguay national team. He has bitten three opposition…
Lengthy but interesting. I have thus far resisted writing anything about Michael Lewis’s book “Flash Boys”, in part because I typically don’t want to waste time on timely issues (instead focusing on topics that are of long-term interest), although it has been a real exercise in self-constraint because there have been few books published in…

Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, National University of Singapore and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have shown that betting decisions in a simple competitive game are influenced by the specific variants of dopamine-regulating genes in a person’s brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter – a chemical released by brain cells to signal other brain…
Sir Francis Galton the creator of the concept of statistical correlation and the idea of regression to the mean also once wrote a paper on how to cut a cake scientifically. It turns out everyone has been doing it wrong – which is actually no surprise. Galtons original paper can be found here
A central tenet in modern economics is that crashes do not happen; we all know that they do . Therefore, the maxim should be restated as crashes are not supposed to happen according to the models we have. In fact modern economic theory be it the Efficient market Hypothesis or the Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium are…
More cleverness by Michael Lewis – I’d like to start by making a confession: It’s never been easy being me.
