Things that interest me that you are likely to see on this site:

Machine Learning and AI — Projects that I work on, philosophical parallels between mathematical concepts in ML and human behaviour, where I think the Industry is heading, and other things I think about.

History — I enjoy using history as a guide to navigating the future, using analogies as a framework to think about things that are difficult to break down from first principles.
Periods of history I enjoy reading about:
The Fall of the Roman Republic and Rome under Augustus
Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew
The American Revolution
World War 2, The Cold War and Globalization
Independent India and India post Liberalization

Economics — I am generally a supporter of Capitalism as the engine of Economic Progress in the world, and of free trade and open markets. I also believe that the principles of Economics form a powerful mental model worth learning.
An economics book recommendation:
“Economics in One Lesson” by Henry Hazitt.
P.S. : Read chapter “The Curse of Machinery” as an argument for why AI is unlikely to leave everyone jobless.

India — Over the last 80 years , India has progressed significantly. What have we accomplished that remains unseen? What are trends worth shining light on? And where should the country strive to be in the future?

I am also interested in Neoclassical civic architecture, Space exploration, the open source strategy game Openfront.io, building Startups and lessons from Charlie Munger.
