Everyone, read this before posting: Best of SAT Prep Forum and FAQs. Science Clarified. How to Build a Robot Tutorial - Society of Robots. I’m starting another content company, and I plan to make a fortune. By Bryan Goldberg On March 4, 2013 Now that Bleacher Report is in the rear view mirror, I am planning to launch another content company. It’s a “when” rather than an “if”… And I couldn’t be happier to be in this much-maligned business of creating and distributing original content. In my opinion, it is probably the single best venture sub-sector to create, and one that venture capitalists should be scrambling to invest in.

In fact, I’ll wager that the venture community is going to have to start putting money into content companies, because they are going to be one of the best performers of the 2010 decade. Here are just some of the reasons why any VC who says “we don’t really do content investments,” is out of their mind… 1. Look at the major venture-backed content websites of the last decade. There are the three that have sold for nine-figure exits — DailyCandy, Bleacher Report, and Huffington Post. And what else do you notice about the dozen companies that I just mentioned above? 2. 3.

The Best Textbooks on Every Subject. For years, my self-education was stupid and wasteful. I learned by consuming blog posts, Wikipedia articles, classic texts, podcast episodes, popular books, video lectures, peer-reviewed papers, Teaching Company courses, and Cliff's Notes. How inefficient! I've since discovered that textbooks are usually the quickest and best way to learn new material. That's what they are designed to be, after all. But textbooks vary widely in quality. What if we could compile a list of the best textbooks on every subject? Let's do it. There have been other pages of recommended reading on Less Wrong before (and elsewhere), but this post is unique. Post the title of your favorite textbook on a given subject.You must have read at least two other textbooks on that same subject.You must briefly name the other books you've read on the subject and explain why you think your chosen textbook is superior to them.

I'll start the list with three of my own recommendations... Subject: History of Western Philosophy. Rationality materials.
