_Freakonomics_ began as a book, which led to a blog, a documentary film, more books, a pair of pants, and in 2010, a podcast called _**Freakonomics Radio**_. Hosted by **Stephen J. Dubner**, it became and remains one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with a reputation for storytelling that is both rigorous and entertaining. Its archive of more than 500 episodes is available, for free, on any podcast app, and the show airs weekly on NPR stations. _Freakonomics Radio_ is now the flagship show of the Freakonomics Radio Network, which includes the podcasts _No Stupid Questions_, _People I (Mostly) Admire_, _The Economics of Everyday Things_, and a variety of special series. To keep up with everything, you can get our newsletter, read the FAQs, or send inquiries to radio@freakonomics.com. * * * _**Freakonomics Radio**_: **Stephen Dubner** explores things you always thought you knew (but didn’t) and things you never thought you wanted to know (but do). Some of our most popular episodes are about the economics of sleep and how to become great at just about anything, plus the true stories of rent control, minimum wage, and the gender pay gap. * * * _**No Stupid Questions**_: Research psychologist **Angela Duckworth** (author of _Grit_) and tech and sports executive **Mike Maughan** really like to ask people questions, and they believe there’s no such thing as a stupid one. So they have a podcast where they can ask each other as many “stupid questions” as they want. New episodes each week. _No Stupid Questions_ is a production of the Freakonomics Radio Network. * * * _**People I (Mostly) Admire**_: **Steven Levitt**, the unorthodox University of Chicago economist and co-author of the _Freakonomics_ books, tracks down other high achievers — from sports superstars to Nobel Prize winners — and asks questions that only he would think to ask. * * * _**The Economics of Everyday Things**_: Who decides which snacks are in your office’s vending machine? How much is a suburban elm tree worth, and to whom?  How did Girl Scout Cookies become a billion-dollar business? In bite-sized episodes, journalist **Zachary Crockett** looks at quotidian things and finds amazing stories. The Freakonomics Radio Network podcasts are produced in partnership with Stitcher, the podcast production arm of SiriusXM. **Subscribe to our weekly newsletter** for show announcements, book recommendations, and more.

These are loose thoughts about the future: crazy ideas I'm mulling over, changes I wish to manifest, and interesting things I've noticed. My creative values ------------------ In the pursuit of a definite, intentional creative identity, I find myself drawn to these values for my work: * Enrich, don’t just distract * Have a fearless point of view * Embrace darkness, but inspire growth * Ideas have power regardless of whether they're true Audience -------- I want to make work for kind people. That’s too broad for any kind of real market positioning, but it’s a start. If an audience is a set of people you invite into your creative life, I don’t want to invite toxic, entitled, mean-spirited people. I want to invite kind people, who: * Understand the value of the arts * Find new ideas more interesting than dangerous * Feel in community with each other as members of this group of people who like this thing Independence ------------ I’d like to reach a point where I’m no longer beholden to an employer in order to live. That’s not just a luxury: I think it’s actually becoming a necessity in order for me to have the kind of lifestyle, and build the kind of identity, that I want to have. Assumptions ----------- We tend to assume the corporate career will be successful (financial stability) while the artistic career will be a failure (financial risk). Why do we make those assumptions? What does it take to disprove those assumptions? Making space for art -------------------- It feels like the way forward is less about figuring out how to make money by making art, and more about how to make money _while leaving space for art._ > This page was inspired by About Ideas Now

Who I Am -------- I’m a WYSIWYG human quine: terrible at image management, but have proof of competence. While it’s initially undetectable when you meet me, I’m a high-functioning pattern/language ASD with notes of ADHD, a sprinkling of BPAD, and a side order of PTSD. The high-conscientiousness and high-neuroticism of my personality make me a likeable-enough tornado laser of crazy ideas revolving around a strange obsession with completely following every rule. I like to be alone about 70% of the time, but you’d never know it. I’ve always wanted to understand everything to the point where it’s explainable in plain English. But, I wasn’t granted a particularly healthy background. My parents’ challenges with daily living, brought on by _their_ awful upbringing, forced me to self-discover how to live correctly. Most of my formative developmental years lacked sufficient mentorship or guidance, so I was forced to self-sufficiently lead myself or become a victim. In the process, I became the architect of my life, but I still fight a myriad of straggler issues stemming mostly from my particular flavor of neurodivergence. I value wisdom deeply. It may represent itself with simple principles (e.g., “don’t buy everything full price”), but it condenses to broader concepts (e.g., “be cautious on what you spend”). However, an axiom by itself only goes so far (e.g., “it’s a bad idea to not pay your employees”). Gaining wisdom requires correctly handling ideas. To that end, ideas must be handled with precision and care, much like the rigor and attention we give math or law. Given our current era, my purpose in life is to fight over-information that dilutes meaning, which I implement by condensing facts into unvarnished summaries. However, wise thoughts and foolish blathering fight on the same playing field, and fashions often judge who was cooler while saying it. My goal isn’t to make many things or make money off the stuff I make. I care more about maximum quality with the most organic exposure possible. With that said, I also enjoy doing non-mind-related things. Experience tethers us to reality far more than knowledge. Of course, the previous two paragraphs mean I’m not billionaire entrepreneurship material; I’m too dogmatic to monetize my ideas. While I’ll happily sell my labor or rent out my brain, I consider all my ideas to represent three possibilities: 1. They’re life-changing, so I’ll harm those who need them but can’t access them. 2. They’re replaceable, so capitalizing on my ideas involves the chore of competing with others. 3. The ideas are worthless or near-worthless, and I’d be a huckster to advance my agenda with them. I’m often poking around on Hacker News or GitHub, occasionally on Mastodon, and rarely on Reddit or LinkedIn, and mostly keep to myself. If you _really_ want to know what I’m up to, I semi-routinely update my /now page, where I also publish future updates. Email is the best way to contact me at “Dave at Stucky period tech”.

Updated August 2, 2024

I used to have a mailing list, but it was too much work to maintain, so you can still pull my RSS feed or check back to this page for the latest: WHAT I MUST DO: * Working in an insurance office right now. * Figuring out life with a stunning beautiful alexithymic woman at the maximum threshold of the Crazy/Hot Matrix, which currently involves preparing an RV to move into it. * Slowly succumbing to the standard mental decline caused by maintaining two schoolchildren before they’re old enough to vote. MY HOBBY: Marching through my Grandiose Essay-Writing Mission, loosely guided by a Johnny.Decimal\-like system: * It consists of **14,246** files, each one containing between 1 and 10 elements. * As I go, each condensation or output will make fewer files, but each re-categorization will likely make more files. * The number is moderately arbitrary relative to results, thereby avoiding the risk of Goodhart’s Law while also implying I’ve made some sort of progress. The project will eventually send everything to 3 possible places: 1. My essays will be updated, most notably NotaGenius and Trendless Tech. 2. My toolbox, if it’s potentially useful. 3. The primitives and templates for future projects. Throughout the entire system, I maintain a schema that reflects the content I’m building: The flow of work represents itself through a unique semi-ordered flow of “phases”: 1. Rebuild my toolbox to conform to all the existing essays. 2. Update the old content I’ve already written (050-700). 3. Finish out a few easy pages (50-400). 4. Add ready-to-go content updates (a). 5. Finish the Entrepreneurship pages (460+610). 6. Finish the Management pages (470+620). 7. Finish the Math pages (430+530). 8.
