Welcome to 52 Aces


My work focuses on learning, memory and competition, although I do occasionally stray into other subjects.

Popular Work

If you want to dive in, here’s some of my most popular content:

  • Managing the Exploration-Exploitation Dilemma — A long-form essay about tackling the fundamental problem of deciding between learning more and using what you already know.
  • 5 Minute Concepts — A series I created to break down complex concepts into lessons that are always 5 minutes or less. Each episode is available in video, audio and text formats.
  • How to Be a World-Class Anything — A medium-sized essay for anyone who wants to make the leap to “expert” status in a given field.
  • The Value of Information — A medium-sized essay that explores how the proliferation of information in the modern world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
  • The Automation Survival Guide — A free, online book I created in response to the rising risk almost everybody is facing in an age of automation.

Some other popular, high-quality essays I’ve written are Systems & Information, Boxing, Violence and the Brain, Learning How to Program, and How to Use a Brain.

To see everything I’ve written, you can find it here.

If you’re looking for some good books to enhance your thinking, I’ve also put together a reading list that contains the best learning material I’ve come across.
