@Turkidotsul is planning to publish an article every friday on his substack, on the economy, among other topics.

The never ending relationship between Jeddawis and virtue-signalling
أهل حطين في حالة حداد لأن سيخ الشاورما خدش كبرياءهم ورائحة الثوم أعلنت سقوط هيبة الحي.!
إذهبوا إلى جدة .. هناك قد يوقف المليونير سيارته البنتلي أمام العمارة وينزل ليشتري قلابة فول وفلافل ثم يأكلها على غطاء السيارة إن لم يجد طاولة.!
في جدة لا أحد يخشى أن يراه أحد يأكل الفول .. الخوف الوحيد أن ينفد الخبز قبل أن ينتهي من القلابة.!

Ibn Taymiyyah is amazing, modern computer scientists (like John Sowa) have noted that Ibn Taymiyyah’s aggressive critique of strict Aristotelian logic, where he favored situational analogy (Qiyas al-Tamthil) and learning incrementally from specific data points, uncannily models the exact way Modern Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms operate today. Instead of following rigid rules, they learn patterns dynamically from historical data.

A lot of positive feedback on this one. But a lot of people told me I left a lot on the table - so here is part two where I expand on taking risks, having agency, and not chasing the prestige in your twenties.

It is normal for you to be lost in your early twenties, it is not expected of you to know *exactly* what you want. But that doesn't mean you should stay idle until you figure out.
Instead, you need to have a plan that maximizes your optionality until you understand where you're leaning towards. This is a framework I came up with and it helped me massively in my early twenties.

I’ve always argued that consulting, investment banking, and product management at a high-growth startup are three of the best environments to spend your early career.
Consulting teaches you to navigate ambiguity, challenge assumptions, and influence strategic decisions. Banking gives you a deeper understanding of how businesses are valued, financed, and transacted. Startups on the other hand, put you right at the intersection of product, growth, scaling challenges , where every decision has an immediate commercial consequence.
the common denominator is the sheer amount of business judgment you develop in a relatively short period of time.

Dear @JeddahAmanah there is a concept called “Braess’s Paradox”
It’s quite a simple concept that every 2nd year engineering student understands
You can read about it here:

Or play city skylines for a day or two you might learn something

إيماني بفكرة معينة وترجيحي لها لا يعني انها بالضرورة حقيقة
اجتهادي في الحصول على المعلومة كذلك ليس ضمان انها افضل من معلومة حصل عليها شخص آخر بلا مجهود
كون منهجيتي علمية لا يعني ان نتيجتي افضل من شخص لا يعرف اي شيء عن المنهجية العلمية
القناعات في العلم مهما بدت صلبة هي دايما هشة
لذلك دافع عن افكارك وقناعاتك لكن لا تمنع نفسك من قبول افكار مضادة حتى لو أتت من شخص لا يملك سمعة ولا زخم كبير في المجال العلمي او الاكاديمي
الحقيقة ليست حكر على احد
ومهما كان عدد المنتسبين إلى فكرة معينة هذا لا يضمن صحة توجهاتهم حتى لو كانت لديهم انجازات واكتشافات علمية عظيمة
احب العلم والعلماء
لكن في النهاية العلم والمعرفة أشياء محدودة جدا
لكنها تظل الوسيلة الأمثل للاقتراب من الحقيقة

Accidentally found a great way to pay using MADA if all you have is crypto:
1. Get @OKX card
2. Deposit stablecoins into OKX card
3. Get a virtual MADA card from @alinmapay
4. Top it up using OKX card
And now you just paid for gas using crypto in like 5 minutes.
