Ergodicity

Why it’s on the list: Luca Dellanna’s short, plain-language primer on ergodicity — why survival beats performance over repeated trials (the Taleb/ruin-risk idea, made simple).

Where I heard about it

I imported the whole book into Roam as an “rBook” — 67 pages, about 27,700 words, front matter through acknowledgements. That copy is kept privately and is not published here. Dellanna’s own copyright notice is explicit — “The contents of this book cannot be reproduced or distributed without the explicit written consent of the author” — which is why only this card, not the text, is public.
