Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.

    De Rerum Natura + The Gospel of Thomas

    Not a combination I would have ever expected, but once I realized the latter was building its ideas on top of the former’s atomism and evolutionary thinking, the combo suddenly clicked and I was looking at philosophical ideas not only aligned with where I’d been at previously, but advancing my thinking significantly.

    Probably some of the most intriguing ideas from antiquity I’ve ever seen, and much more advanced than I’d have envisioned I’d find.
