About eruditely

"Al-Baqir is reported to have told one of his followers that if in this world people need a guide to travel even a few miles to a strange place, then what of the path to heaven of which they are far more ignorant?" - Arzina Lalani, Early Shi’i Thought p. 75

Sikh. Minority. Asiatic Aryan. Love the bay area & wouldn't change a thing about it.

Antiquity. Love epistemology, epistemology of pharmacology, trying to cultivate an empirisme érudit. Taleb's epistemology and Curt's epistemology. Stoicism, want to know more about Byzantium, John Gray too.

Experience in Node/Mongo/R/scipy(prefer R) for statistics operationalized to say Kruschkes books few chapters

Since i'm interested in learning probability theory I have an interest in machine learning,

I'm interested in Popper's negativism & preference for asymmetry, Charlie Mungers "Inverse problem" as insight into the situation and all other related applied esoteric affairs.

Best way to learn about me is to see my bookshelves and my amazon purchase history.

    Ellsberg apparently made contributions to decision theory, I forgot where I read this but this guy has notable qualities other than being a whistleblower.

    Just fyi there are non upper caste Indians, I’m Sikh so caste distinctions are forbidden for us. I’m a “Saini” my name is Ricky Saini and I’m not sure this fits with my experience …

    I disagree that Taleb is "middle-brow", check out his new technical incerto book, from what I've heard its rather rigorous.

    I think my all reasonable estimates, he was a polymath, maybe not on the level of Kolmogorov or something but it's the fact that he died so young, had such immense influence, and w…

    By the way, it's alleged by a famous professor(?) and amazon reviewer Michael Emmet Brady that Ramsey in no way "demolished" his theory and that this particular problem has drawn p…

    I disagree with your statement as well, psychedelics have a variety of use cases and the entire experience is difficult to describe, for example take the following statements "I li…

    Oh come now, one essay can't really detract from the general character of all his essays does it?
