A batch of the best highlights from what Fabien's read, .
It’s actually really important to have empty space. If you don’t have a day or two every week in your calendar where you’re not always in meetings, and you’re not always busy, then you’re not going to be able to think. You’re not going to be able to have good ideas for your business. You’re not going to be able to make good judgments. I also encourage taking at least one day a week (preferably two, because if you budget two, you’ll end up with one) where you just have time to think. It’s only after you’re bored you have the great ideas. It’s never going to be when you’re stressed, or busy, running around or rushed. Make the time. [7]

AI learning across a long time span is challenging, because when a person’s happiness goes up, the AI does not know whether it was a result of today’s activities, or last week’s, or last year’s, or some combination thereof. This problem is akin to a challenge facing social media algorithms: How can Facebook train its newsfeed to help a user grow over the longer term, rather than simply entice immediate advertising clicks? When the person shows growth, how does the Facebook AI know which day’s content or algorithms caused that growth?

28. Feiler Faster Thesis:
The pace of society is based on the rate at which news breaks. As the world becomes increasingly networked, the news cycle accelerates, causing events—national debates, scandals, etc—to move faster and receive ever less consideration.
