25 career goals
This page is from my personal notes, and has not been specifically reviewed for public consumption. It might be incomplete, wrong, outdated, or stupid. Caveat lector.- Warren Buffett suggests the exercise of writing down 25 career goals. Then choose the five most important. Then avoid at all costs numbers 6-25. They are tempting, but they are distractions.
- I don't feel like I have a focused list of these yet. Here's an in-progress attempt, in no particular order:
- Write something that connects with a sizable number of people.
- Could be influential research. But more likely, this is teaching---explanation, or life advice, or reflections, opinion, or at the outside perhaps stories or music.
- Build something that creates demonstrable economic value to the world.
- Could be a PPL. Or some sort of company or practice around AI.
- Figure out how to do probabilistic inference well 'in most cases', like SAT solvers (general purpose is of course P#-complete).
- Make real improvements to the practice of drug discovery and development.
- Bring an effective computational life coach into the world.
- Write something that connects with a sizable number of people.
