    Cutting through the noise pt. 2: Scuba metaphor edition

    This post was originally part of yesterday’s post, but it was getting a little long so I split it into two pieces. You’ll have to hang in with me with the scuba metaphors, but I’m still riding the high of how good the diving was in Palau last month.  Yesterday, I talked about finding the…

    Cutting through the noise and graduating to the next level

    Churners and MSers are a generally shrewd group of optimizers, within reason. There’s not enough hours in the day to run every possible play you can think of, especially if you work a 9-5.  There aren’t enough hours in the day for keeping up with the torrent of churning information that comes out every day,…

    Thanks for hanging in there with me while I was on vacation. Taking it (somewhat) easy on the MS front for a couple of weeks is funny in 2026 because it’s enough time for a phoenix play to come back… and effectively die again.  This is a spiritual successor to this post, and it leans…

    Choosing your MS fighter

    There’s been a handful of posts made in the community about specialization and finding what you’re good at – by me, by guest authors here, and guest authors on MEAB.  I’ve always believed in diversification of plays to avoid one shutdown completely killing you, even if that means accepting some low-hanging fruit that isn’t super…
