I was curious to see Uranium reserves around the world. I wasn’t aware that Australia was number one, China and former USSR countries have a hefty amount, but US and allies seem to be on top. As societies become more complex, the amount of energy require to maintain it (think not only transportation with […]

This section focuses on my blogs posts exclusively (as opposed to a post from my previous works).
Categorical Variables Visualization
The four most common representations of categorical variables are: Frequency Distribution Tables Bar Charts Pie Charts Pareto Diagrams Finding intervals The formula for this is: (largest number – smallest number) / number of desired intervals It’s a good idea to round them up if provided a decimal. After this the objective is to figure […]
Data Types and Measurement Scales
Data can be separated into two main groups: It’s type and measurement level. Data types can be categorical and numerical. Categorical: It can be groups in things such as company brands, but also yes and no questions and these two answers would be classified into two categories. Numerical: This is numerical data. This data can […]
Thoughts on Creativity
I saw a post on LinkedIn yesterday that brought back memories of information I’ve read in the past, but I can’t find the exact source. The OP from LinkedIn claimed that creativity was a choice and that the correlation with creativity, which went up in 20’s, then declined to get back up in the 50’s, […]
Thoughts on Thomas Hobbes
Thoughts on Thomas Hobbes By Eugene Sheely It could be said that Hobbes believed Anarchy to be evil since humans attack each other without quarter. Man exists in a state of perpetual self-interest at the expense of everyone else. Therefore, in order to achieve peace you will give up your rights to a sovereign (social […]

Thoughts on Aristotles Virtues
My interpretation of Aristotle’s virtue based on my readings and lectures it that since there seems to be a happy mean in achieving good performance, the performance of virtue must also be a happy medium (the myth of Icarus comes to mind, fly to low and you’ll fall, fly too high and your wings will […]
No Coward Soul is Mine
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world’s storm-troubled sphere: I see Valhalla’s glories shine and strength shines equal, arming me from fear. Wotan within my breast, All-father, ever-present Deity! Life – that in me has rest, As I – undying life – have power in Thee!
Genghis Khan Didn’t Need Sun Tzu
Most bestselling books are awful, specially business related. They usually are a bunch of pop psychology bullshit taken out of context or falsely turned into generalizations. One of these examples is Drive by Daniel Pink: He takes one example of a study done in a few hours. They picked up some random people (probably […]
Read an article in LinkedIn that seemed too over-simplistic. While the author is right in that the use of jargon when addressing people outside a profession can be counteractive, this is already intuitively done by most people. Telling someone that the jargon inside their profession isn’t understood by outsiders is redundant unless their audience is […]
