How true is this?

I have seen many instances where a person, A who has a huge respect for a person B- B is a successful person and an expert in his domain- suddenly starts despising B because B's opinion on topics such as politics, finance, economy, defence etc are not aligned with that of A. So much so that A starts doubting the credibility of B which few seconds back he/she was a admirer of! Why do we change our behaviour just because our opinion with the other person differs?

I recently was asked this question by a very senior person in my organisation. I have 5yrs of work-ex but still not sure what's my ultimate calling..so want to know if people once they start working figure it out or just lie through

When I was younger, there used to be a time where identifying upcoming trends was easier. Orkut, Facebook everyone usually grew via organic need and inputs. But as I have grown older and cynical, I now see almost every praise, every single conversation productized and sold. Amazon reviews are fake, someone is pumping money to fix them. News is fake, someone is tipping them to push certain products. Every startup chasing the end goal, bought the end goal. And it's all hollow

Some things I believe: As human beings it is our right (maybe our moral duty) to reshape the universe to our preferences * Technology, which is really knowledge, enables this * You should probably work on raising the ceiling, not the floor Enthusiasm matters! * It's much easier to work on things that are exciting to you * It might be easier to do big things than small things for this reason * Energy is a necessary input for progress It's important to do things fast * You learn more per unit time because you make contact with reality more frequently * Going fast makes you focus on what's important; there's no time for bullshit * "Slow is fake" * A week is 2% of the year * Time is the denominator The efficient market hypothesis is a lie * At best it is a very lossy heuristic * The best things in life occur where EMH is wrong * In many cases it's more accurate to model the world as 500 people than 8 billion * "Most people are other people" We know less than we think * The replication crisis is not an aberration * Many of the things we believe are wrong * We are often not even asking the right questions The cultural prohibition on micromanagement is harmful * Great individuals should be fully empowered to exercise their judgment * The goal is not to avoid mistakes; the goal is to achieve uncorrelated levels of excellence in some dimension * The downsides are worth it Smaller teams are better * Faster decisions, fewer meetings, more fun * No need to chop up work for political reasons * No room for mediocre people (can pay more, too!) * Large-scale engineering projects are more soluble in IQ than they appear * Many tech companies are 2-10x overstaffed Where do you get your dopamine? * The answer is predictive of your behavior * Better to get your dopamine from improving your ideas than from having them validated * It's ok to get yours from "making things happen" You can do more than you think * We are tied down by invisible orthodoxy * The laws of physic

You don't need a high IQ to be a great programmer. Change my mind

Planning to start researching trends in various industries i.e. what is being built in an industry by the next gen of startups (not the kind who raised $15million but more around what is unique about their product), what investors are interested in and what are behavioural trends that can be leveraged. Would you be interested in reading something like this? What all shall be covered? Would you be interested in discussing these in a discord community?

I know it’s early, but it’s an extended weekend 😅 Share an article / post that made you go ‘Aha’ in the recent past. Let me start with one - would love to hear opinions on this. https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatlantic.com%2Ffamily%2Farchive%2F2018%2F12%2Frich-people-happy-money%2F577231%2F
