Subscribe to get the week’s best wisdom nuggets on technology, policy, and finance from the newsletters I read. My model is smart brevity.
How did this start?
I started falling behind on newsletters I love reading. As a stopgap, I decided to batch-read on Saturdays during #brunch and share the best wisdom nuggets on #NewsletterSaturday. I’m experimenting with this newsletter (my first!) because of the assumption that a μeta-newsletter is the better medium for this endeavor.
What’s a “wisdom nugget?”
A wisdom nugget can be a quote, an excerpt, an idea, a chart, a link — pretty much anything interesting and of value to be recalled. I love to save interesting passages I read in Evernote. I was inspired to do so by an article on The Verge about “backing up the brain” using Evernote. (Probably one of the two good articles ever published on that website; the other being Paul Miller’s essay on living one year without the Internet.)
What does #NewsletterSaturday cover?
Broadly speaking I’m interested in the intersection of technology, policy, and finance. In practice, the newsletter covers topics ranging from venture capital, software, statecraft, shipping, global finance, emergent innovation, macroeconomics, markets, politics and geopolitics between Africa, China, Europe, and the US, interesting factoids, to political philosophy. You can find some of the ideas I’m thinking about in my homepage and by following me on Twitter. Here’s a list of some of the newsletters I read.
Who are you?
I’m apas. I’m into statecraft and venture in the worlds of technology, policy, and finance. Previously, I was an alpine skier. I’m usually found in medias res.
