3 Golden Nuggets a day - on Infinity
This complex subject is really in need of proper introduction. Please refer to the Classic Read section for proper introductions from different scientific points of view.
Given that, my personal interest in infinity comes from my gut feeling on dismissing infinity as a lazy concept that achieves only about most of the same purposes that religion does to human intellect: respect what you don't understand as existing.

infinity is when things go woefully wrong!

Reading Lists
There are books that I reread regularly, but at the moment I read new books in trying to identify the best books to reread while trying to push my learning boundries. So far I got to organise my future reading in 6 lists, main readings for each time of the day:
- morning: classics (my definition of classics, must say)
- lunch break: how to's (programming or managerial mostly)
- evening: biographies
and 3 lists of books that look interesting but haven't got enough information for them:
For people who just wanted to know how to choose what to read by Tai Lopez' talked of principles.
Do you have a book or resource that would like to see what nuggets I can get out from for you ?
Hey, cool of you to cover the same topics. I wish there was some way of collaborating on posts on Steemit, something closer to discussion groups, rather than merely posts in the same category. Upvoted!
