How Insiders Rigged the US Economy (James B. Stewart) Imagine the greatest bank heist in human history, executed entirely without ski masks or getaway cars—just spreadsheets, rotary phones, and a financial instrument that rewrote the rules of Wall Street. Today, we break down the origins of the 1980s insider trading scandal through James B. Stewart’s Pulitzer-winning book, Den of Thieves. Discover how Michael Milken used an ignored piece of academic research to create the junk bond empire and fundamentally change modern capitalism. Enjoyed this? Upgrade to Premium to unlock the full 20-minute deep dive! You'll get our complete breakdown of the three-node corrupt information network, the shocking modern parallels to Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX collapse, and the untold macroeconomic counter-point.

Controlling reciprocity in binary and weighted networks: A novel density-conserving approach We introduce efficient Network Reciprocity Control (NRC) algorithms for steering the degree of asymmetry and reciprocity in binary and weighted networks while p

🎉 🎉 Excited to share that our paper has just been published in Chaos.

Here, we introduce Network Reciprocity Control (NRC) #algorithms that make it possible to systematically tune #reciprocity and directional #asymmetry in #networks while preserving density or total weight.

Humans have so many #biases that I think #asymmetry is rule rather than the exception.

One of the main ones is related to the "fight or flight" instinct and our basic hardwired reactions to pain & pleasure.

In our modern <hyper-fast> #media, both sides are used to trigger fast-thought behaviors.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by our continual #polycrisis environment.

Surrounded by the #asymmetry of information overload & diverse interpretations of what the problems & solutions even are, we ask: Where will order come from?

When it does emerge, it's immediate: we are masters of #adaptation.

Scoliosis is not misalignment.
It is a specific geometry of flow.

Asymmetry is not something to be fixed.
It is something to be inhabited.

Spirit doesn't want only straight lines.
Energy doesn't always discharge evenly.
Only control does.

A solitary tree with bright orange autumn leaves stands in a field of dry grass before a dense backdrop of dark green conifers. The tree’s canopy is slightly uneven, with less foliage on the upper right, creating a natural asymmetry that emphasizes its individuality and seasonal change.

Up against the wall.
