Working on optimising my social allocation framework, in between sets at the "gym". It always amuses me to read about people searching for social relations based on intellectual compatibility. Most of the socially interesting people I meet are just cute and nearby.
I suppose I started deweighting intellectual compatibility around 2001 because I just didn't find people in college who were working on the same stuff as I was. I think as I progressed to study commerce, I had a few narrow intellectual compatibilities with various people based on the nature of their work - but in their lives outside of work, we might not have had much in common to talk about.
I will think about this some more. On one hand, it is nice to have a social life based simply on the cute people nearby. On the other hand, maybe I should spend less time on that, when it does nothing for my work interests in global macro, physiology, and computation.
