Love this idea, and +1 on Jon Gjengset and Neel Nanda.
For finance though, I’m skeptical of your recommendations (DeepFuckingValue and Martin Shkreli). The former made his money pumping-and-dumping meme stocks, and I get the impression the latter has been selected for fame (like recommending Neil deGrasse Tyson to learn physics).
In general, I think finding good resources in finance requires a much stronger epistemic immune system than nearly any other field! There’s so much adverse selection, and charlatans can hide behind noisy returns and flashy slide decks for a very long time. I’ve worked at a top quant trader long enough to spot BS, and the KL-divergence between what competent looking YouTubers say and what actually works is extreme.
My recommendations would be:
Blogs with great tacit knowledge: bitsaboutmoney.com, thediff.co, Money Stuff
