Someone warned me in 2023 that, owing to my posts on Palestine, my book career was over, (but I could fix it w/loud repentance). Predictably, I told him to fuck off.

Never compromise.
Some groups, tribes, or nations are intelligent while composed of very stupid individuals; other are stupid while made up of intelligent members.
It is all about how people interact.
What made me such a supporter of Palestinian rights in the past few years?
Mostly, when I started studying genetics, I realized they were the Biblical Judeans. Then I spent 3-4 years digging & discovered it was the Z1onists who refused to settle: they wanted the whole thing.
Friends, Finishing the 3rd Ed. of Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails, which should be out next week.
Adding ~100 pages: the Lindy derivations, a few other chapters, and, as requested by Constantino Tsallis, a derivation using Tsallis entropy.
Sorry, many typos
I only spent a few years in international finance, but I have a certainty that it is Howard Lutnick (Comm Sec.) who doesn't understand how cross-country transactions work.

Valentin Fuster, in his 80s, is a delight to behold: scholarly, wise, overactive, & curious; he distills &, thanks to his vitality, dominates & aggregates cardiology. Most aging scholars I've met check out of research to collect honors.
Friends, happy new year! I am grateful to those from whom I learned a lot, in philology, history, cardiology, theology, & bicycle maintenance.

The Eulogy
"Treated the rich as he did the indigent; regarded the famous just as he would the unknown; approached the decorated w/the same demeanor as the uncelebrated, dealt with the powerful as did he w/the weak."
summarized in Levantine as:

Turns out the President of the Republic of Armenia edited the translation of the 5 volumes of the Incerto.

I was offered Armenian coffee, dried fruits, & a gift bag containing aged Armenian cognac.
