This blog explores a growing revolution in the science of markets based on ideas and concepts from physics. If traditional economics has emphasized self-regulating processes and the concept of market equilibrium, the new perspective emphasizes the myriad positive feed backs which often drive markets away from equilibrium and cause tumultuous crashes and other crises.

Physics Perspective: Common core and common rancor
http://physicsoffinance.blogspot.com/2015/03/common-core-and-common-rancor.html
Inspiration from physics for thinking about economics, finance and social systems. Monday, March 30, 2015. Common core and common rancor. My most recent thing in Bloomberg. Touches on the Common Core standards for learning. It's amazing how some things that ought to be pretty good for everyone can be controversial, but. One strain of criticism in particular, though, sounds more like an assault on learning itself. Consider the argument of philosopher Justin McBrayer, of Fort Lewis College in Colorado: .
Physics Perspective: May 2015
http://physicsoffinance.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Inspiration from physics for thinking about economics, finance and social systems. Monday, May 18, 2015. Warfare isn't getting less likely - conclusions from a new analysis. Is warfare getting less likely? Are we entering a new and more peaceful era of history? Quite a few people - Steven Pinker and Niall Ferguson among them - have suggested as much. But the mathematics of war statistics over the past 2,000 years doesn't back up the idea. At Bloomberg, I have a short piece. Posted by Mark Buchanan. A lit...
Physics Perspective: To save the world -- give up on nature?
http://physicsoffinance.blogspot.com/2015/05/to-save-world-give-up-on-nature.html
Inspiration from physics for thinking about economics, finance and social systems. Wednesday, May 6, 2015. To save the world - give up on nature? Does that sound crazy? A document published recently by folks from The Breakthrough Institute. Many things in this manifesto seems just a little too optimistic to me - they seem to suggest that we're already reducing our impact on nature, for example, despite causing the sixth greatest mass extinction in history - but it is worth reading. We do need more cr...
Physics Perspective: The Physics of Finance
http://physicsoffinance.blogspot.com/2011/05/physics-of-finance.html
Inspiration from physics for thinking about economics, finance and social systems. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. The Physics of Finance. This work has been developing and growing more sophisticated since early evolutionary models of financial markets first developed in the mid 1990s at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. It has come a long way since then, particularly in the past five years, and a growing number of economists and policy makers are beginning to take it very seriously. As just one exa...Revie...

Interim Solutions: Dispatches from the graveyard shift

Moments of clarity from the rugged path to enlightenment in life, science, philosophy and (for the most part) working with computers. Saturday, March 14, 2015. Dispatches from the graveyard shift. Over the past couple weeks of parental leave, Ive found myself alone with the tv most evenings, so have been enjoying clearing my backed-up to-watch list:. From Dusk Till Dawn (1996): Definitely one of the lesser oeuvres in the Tarantino canon, but has its moments. Planet Terror (2007): another piece of self-in...

Moments of clarity from the rugged path to enlightenment in life, science, philosophy and (for the most part) working with computers. Friday, January 18, 2013. You Can't Do That On AndroidTube. I've been suffering a bad case of blog-stipation, so let me try to squeeze out a very brief précis of my recent Android-Tubing pleasure…. Nice little retro alien horror flick. Lots of stylistic throwbacks to the kind of flicks children of the 80s grew up loving. Rik Mayall's follow-up to The Young Ones, also featu...

Moments of clarity from the rugged path to enlightenment in life, science, philosophy and (for the most part) working with computers. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Hannibal (Seasons 1 2): Very decent adaptation of the Hannibal Lecter franchise, though the gore factor is pretty full on. Black Mirror (Seasons 1 2): anthology series of dystopian techno-tales of the unexpected by Charlie Brooker from The Guardian. "The Entire History of You (season 1, episode 3) was particularly good.

Moments of clarity from the rugged path to enlightenment in life, science, philosophy and (for the most part) working with computers. Monday, February 2, 2015. I’ve recently devoted a bit of effort to setting up a decent practice environment on my iMac. Here are the ins and outs of what’s working for me:. IN: Running my guitar direct into the computer via an Apogee Jam audio interface. It’s a quick plugin and the audio interface doesn’t take up any deskspace. Or save it off as a new project. OUT: Lilypon...

Moments of clarity from the rugged path to enlightenment in life, science, philosophy and (for the most part) working with computers. Sunday, September 23, 2012. The Devil and Simon Flagg. I originally came across this delightful short story. In a mathematical text on Fermat's Last Theorem (I've forgotten its name, but suffice it to say I probably wasn't reading it in any depth). It says more about academics than it does about the Devil. Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Of course, as you'll have noticed fr...

Moments of clarity from the rugged path to enlightenment in life, science, philosophy and (for the most part) working with computers. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. The exception to prove this rule occurred over the weekend, as I polished off the following:. The Man From Earth. Interesting low-budget sci-fi flick from a few years back. The premise is of a university lecturer who, at his farewall get-together before he leaves town, confesses to a group of his friends and colleagues that he is actually 14,000...

Moments of clarity from the rugged path to enlightenment in life, science, philosophy and (for the most part) working with computers. Friday, May 17, 2013. THX 1138: low key early hard sci-fi effort from George Lucas, which I watched because I just read that it was the inspiration for the Toto song 99. If only Lucas had applied a similarly minimalist approach to dialog in his star wars prequels. Killing Them Softly (2012): reasonably entertaining gangster yarn. Ted (2012): surprisingly funny. The Wire: P...

Physics Perspective
Inspiration from physics for thinking about economics, finance and social systems. Tuesday, April 11, 2017. Market complexity also makes for instability. Yet a narrow focus on details can distract attention from profund similarities. Network scientists know that the topology of a network – the pattern of links or relationships that hold it together – can have a decisive influence on its properties. In the context of financial networks, new research. Just after the financial crisis, May – who was fo...

Online Guitar Lessons - Not What to Play. How to Play!
HOW to Play. Like a Pro! Maybe you’ve only played guitar a short time. Maybe you’ve been playing for decades. But you find yourself playing just like you have in the past. You want to be able to make. Clean, fast chord changes, or to shred through scales, or to finger-pick like a champ and. But despite all the lessons, books and videos, you just haven’t been able to break through. And blaze like a pro. I’ve taken years of lessons. Still can’t shred! Dave T., Texas. Lenny B., LA. Jim W, Colorado. Then jus...
