  • Shane ParrishStrengthened my practice of building a latticework of mental models for clearer thinking and better decisions.
  • Venkatesh RaoDiscovered via Ribbonfarm blog. This guy is a high-level insight machine and has an engaging way of tracing societal patterns. He's influenced how I think about coordination problems and organizations as well as seeking truth.
