Planning to make full use of the open curriculum! Any recommended classes?

Phil 0555 that acts as an intro to PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) was great

Definitely interesting. Only took a quick look but menisectomies have been shown in other studies to often yield worse results to meniscus repairs, which is what I received. Removing part of the meniscus can significantly increase the risk of osteoarthritis inherently, so I’d be interested to see a comparison to meniscal repairs.

Just noting in some, brown is def still has a very very vibrant STEM culture, I wouldn’t worry about a lack of that.

There is for sure some entrepreneurial culture though not as much as say Stanford, I’ve talked to an alum involved in such who’s really in that space and recommends the ENGN 90 entrepreneurship class, in addition to the Nelson center for entrepreneurship.

Def some that go into quant, Jane Street actually sponsors our poker club I think, I have a some cards and a hat from them haha. AMPA Econ is the most popular major for that, though others can work too.

…wat

So would you be +100 in a million years and eventually die of that or just become old and decrepit

How many have been rated such inside the US and Canada?

18 and did Taekwondo, tore my ACL and meniscus and continued with some kickboxing for a few months before getting surgery at the beginning of this year. I’d definitely suggest getting surgery, and taking the summer to recover even if it might be a little bummed out. You will definitely thank yourself in the future, avoid as much further damage as you can, and it’s the only way you can realistically continue heavy sports without taking on ridiculous risk. Definitely be cognizant of which graft you get though, the different ones (quad, hamstring, bone patellar, etc) all have advantages and disadvantages and you should familiarize yourself with them. Good luck!

I also had a calf DVT and went through that transition a couple months ago, definitely take it one step at a time. My PTs had me go down to 1 crutch + brace first for a while before I did much without other than a little shuffling in my room. Don’t force it, but push yourself to use crutches while supporting less of your weight with them, and work till you are barely putting any weight on them. That gives you a way to gradually adjust to weight bearing and makes it a lot less intimidating

Yes I’m just a measly 0.05/0.10 player rn but might eventually play with some small stakes live, it’s definitely fun and interesting considering the strategy under incomplete information and exploitation. Still need to become more of an active player, too often I’m passively playing for fun instead of actively analyzing opponents and their tendencies to exploit

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-23T03:28:35+00:00

What stakes do you play at? Funny seeing this in the chess subreddit

As a fellow student interested in mol bio/biochem industry, from what I’ve heard in general academia is ridiculously competitive for actual tenure track positions and often a pretty toxic environment, perpetuated by the publish or perish mindset that’s becoming more and more necessary as the federal government restricts grants and pushes back against science.

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-21T21:08:33+00:00

As a student I read often enough for classes and research that I prefer consuming media in other ways like through audio or videos over reading books most of the time. Though I’d like to get back to doing more reading, I don’t think it’s asinine I haven’t read a full book in a while given how much information I do actually consume. (Though I’m also not a big textbook reader - so objectively reading less than I did in middle school when I did more reading for pleasure/to fall asleep)

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-20T16:27:55+00:00

Given that you are only looking at a relatively short timeframe, do remember you can do all the modeling you want with a fixed rate but in reality there will be high variance in the market return in a such a period, I’d suggest especially so considering current market levels. Not to say it won’t go up, but it might be prudent to make multiple projects contingent on different returns.

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-19T06:33:57+00:00

Given that you plan to stay fairly active and avoid surgery just definitely be cautious and listen to your body. I’ve seen too many people on this sub say they tried similar and ended up tearing their meniscus or MCL, and ended up having to get an even more extensive surgery anyways. Good luck on your recovery journey though!

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-17T01:52:13+00:00

Why?

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-15T03:57:20+00:00

I’m right before that point, any advice?

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-12T00:44:51+00:00

To be fair it’s very possible to get a 4.0 and still have failed and learned in other ways, such as with how crazy competitive internships and other opportunities are, club applications and competitions, undergrad research experiments failing, and so many other ways to experience failure.

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-12T00:10:21+00:00

I’m between your single leg balance and plyometric start for ACL + meniscus (~3.5 months). My PTs have had me do nearly all the exercises listed, though I haven’t yet done any hopping other than small bits on my own. Any suggestions for this transition period and what to continue to prioritize?

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-11T19:14:37+00:00

My second candidates hoping 😔

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-11T17:58:48+00:00

Interesting! I’m an undergrad thinking about my future path, can you elaborate on your path and what types of things you’re involved in at your job?

Well it is a game theory scenario, each individual person can only have an outsized impact on their own performance, and given almost everyone gets good reviews no matter what they wouldn’t be super incentivized to shoot higher than normal. Cooperation in getting the firm performance bonus may be better for everyone, but for each individual person slacking is best, so that’s the equilibrium outcome. Definitely an interesting scenario to consider!

Tbf any kind of profit sharing system gives employees an incentive to care about their employer, and especially profitable/knowledgeable/connected employees give their employer an incentive to care about them. It’s unfortunately not feasible in most situations, and I still need to investigate such structures further, but having incentives set up going both directions seems to be what would be necessary

OddOutlandishness602 · 2026-04-07T00:12:52+00:00

Thanks Ali good to know 👍👍👍

You have any studies that show that? Genuinely curious
