My recent blogs on Chaos gave rise to a new thought: is Trump like a butterfly in the Chaos theory?? "The butterfly effect, an underlying principle of chaos, describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear...

In March 2018, I wrote about the simplicity bias, part-1 to part-5. It took me some months before I realised everything is getting more complex (eg, in life, nature, universe).
