Purchased the new single Beautiful
by 10 Years off of Amazon. The first time I’ve done that. The process is nice, the song has no DRM, and the song is fantastic. Can’t wait until the album this song is on is released.
I also recently finished The Wisdom of Crowds and have moved on to Positioning. Crowds was a quick and enjoyable read. The premise is that a group is consistently wiser than any one person within the group (group opinion forms a bell curve, the mean opinion of the group will be closer to the truth than any individual guess). For this to work though, each member of the group must be motivated to make their best guess, each person must provide an opinion independent of everyone else, and the group should be diverse. This idea of diversity has come up before in other readings to combat groupthink and to provide numerous vantage points on a single subject.
When I have a few more minutes, I’ll throw something up about the other books I have read recently.
Steve and I were in the Morningtide pre-release tournament a couple weeks ago. I finished the weekend batting .500, while Steve won packs both times. I really think the second day should have gone better for me, but I burned myself the second game against my second opponent putting packs out of my reach. My decklists are saved, I just have to put them up sometime.
