Kolmogorov complexity and Irrationality

Two cool things for today:

First of all, check this 19 minute video on irrationality:

Dan Ariely: Tendencies of Irrational Behaviour

Now note 2 things:

1. That video was really cool.

2. I linked to a blog that had a post containing this video, rather than the video itself. This might seem foolish, but in fact, it’s a two birds with one stone scenario. Firstly, you can now go check out FORA.TV, where the video lives,  a site I just found that seems to be full up to the back teeth with interesting videos, and secondly, you can check out Max F Dama’s blogs (of which he has TWO), both of which seem really interesting: his personal and opinion blog, and his Automated Trading blog.

Secondly, here’s a really interesting  wikipedia page:

Kolmogorov complexity

So I totally advise you read it, or book mark it under ‘really interesting’.
