Despite making progress on the recovery from my shoulder surgery, I have not been blogging and today will be another missed Uncertainty Wednesday. 

I have been spending the last few weeks of summer reading more which has been enjoyable. I am learning about Zero Knowledge Proofs from various blogs, including Vitalik Buterin’s excellent posts on the topic. I am also nearly finished with Michael Pollan’s “How to Change your Mind” about psychedelic drugs. And I am halfway into Judea Pearl’s “The Book of Why” and about a third into Kurt Andersen’s “Fantasyland.” All three of these are interesting reads.

As for updates on World After Capital: I am stuck on a section that I am unhappy with but am hoping to get that resolved by next Monday, so I can continue posting excerpts. I have also received a large number of emails with comments on the book and am slowly getting back to people. My thanks to everyone who has written and apologies for the slow replies.

Wishing everyone a good summer and if you have topics you would like me to write about, please let me know.
