This one is great ! But you could as well post half of Wait But Why posts - it's really one of the most interesting blogs on the web.

I love this one more though (much shorter, but makes you think, and once you start thinking about it seriously...): https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/10/100-blocks-day.html

I'd also very much recommend his post on Neuralink and Brain Computer Interfaces: https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html It's long, but way worth it.
I follow the blog too. I like this piece in particular - https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/10/100-blocks-day.html

Reading this in middle management at a bank was illuminating.

I read through those while working at a Fortune 500 company. It sounded so close to truth, like the author was observing the same interactions I saw. Turns out he was at the same company at one point.

The fact that those stand the test of time and resonate with so many people working in large organizations really helps with perspective.

There is not speed limit:

This is an amazing article that I had read a few years back. Incidentally, I had tried many combinations of keywords to find it again but no avail. Thanks to you, my search is finally over.
An amazing article. I love these kinds of articles that actually have an effect on your life after reading them.

Gwern is an independent researcher who studies... a lot of things. He's documented some of the history of the dark web, blogs about his nootropics experience and, perhaps most notably, predicted that bitcoin might reach $10,000... in 2011.

The blogs that aspire to follow in TLP's footsteps are legion.

Slate Star Codex is a foundational blog for me. "I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup" is a good place to start: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anythin...

Then the rest of the best-of: https://slatestarcodex.com/about/

Lately I've been obsessed with Samzdat on Seeing Like a State: https://samzdat.com/2017/05/22/man-as-a-rationalist-animal/

Interfluidity, for instance this https://www.interfluidity.com/v2/3487.html
The Truth About Cars. Product Management, strategy, and product-market-fit are not isolated to software, and we're frankly not very good at them compared to 100 year old companies.

Watching Tesla show the faults in the SV way of doing things has been really fascinating, for example.

maybe subjective, but its pure gold.. https://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/
Simo Ahava is an absolute legend for anything google tag manager / google analytics related. No other site is even remotely close.
