was talking with a collegue yesterday (a clever guy that's really interested in a lot of interesting stuff) about the Black Swan, turned out he read it too and had become a big fan of the ideas presented in it, he pointed me to an interesting blog:

i haven't had time to really read it yet, but i trust that it's got good stuff in it, and i thought some of you guys might be interested so i put it out here.
I can't tell if he's serious or if he's taking the piss, but it's funny shit either way!
Yeah, I've been linking to blog posts here and there from OB for a couple weeks now. Some really good stuff, other posts are over pretentious wanking.
I discovered this blog recently too. I've enjoyed reading the posts by Eliezer Yudkowsky. I linked to his article on ideology and Bose-Einstein Condensates in another thread. This is a great post too: http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/07/belief-in-belie.html
