Spotify-style insights from your “Papers – Computation & Investing” reading list
Welcome to your 2025 Wrapped! This report dives into the intellectual soundtrack of your year, highlighting the main themes, top topics, and standout insights from the articles and papers you’ve added—and especially the ones you’ve read and engaged with—in your “Papers – Computation & Investing” database. Let’s explore what’s been on your mind, what ideas you’ve revisited, and the patterns that defined your curiosity in 2025.
You continued your impressive pace of information gathering in 2025, adding dozens of new entries each month. However, your engagement pattern shows you are a voracious curator—of 970 total entries in your database, you’ve marked 36 as read, with the rest queued for future exploration. This signals a highly selective, quality-over-quantity approach to deep reading, with a focus on breadth and discovery[1].
By entry count, “Investing” dominates your tagged interests, followed closely by “Architecture,” “Computation,” “Math,” “Human Health,” and “COVID-19.” However, your reading and engagement have spanned an even wider landscape, from macroeconomics to machine learning to systemic risk[1].
You’ve consistently engaged with articles analyzing the state of the U.S. dollar, inflation risks, and the evolving global economic order. A notable read dissected why the dollar has remained resilient despite dire predictions, exploring the interplay of savings rates, current account deficits, and the impact of household behavior on macroeconomic stability[2][3].
You also followed India’s economic trajectory, comparing the transformative 1991 reforms to the current landscape under Prime Minister Modi, and explored why the prospects for bold new reforms seem dimmer today[4].
COVID-19’s economic fallout was a recurring concern. You dove into Raj Chetty’s research on the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on low-wage workers and how economic shocks have been most severe in affluent areas, highlighting the need to look beyond aggregate GDP to understand real-world suffering[5].
You also tracked major projections, like Goldman Sachs’ forecast of India’s worst recession in decades, showing your attention to both local and global economic signals[6].
Key Insight: You’re keenly attuned to the interplay between policy, macroeconomic indicators, and real-world outcomes, with a critical eye for how systemic risks and shocks ripple through societies.
A major theme in your reading was the economic cost of racial inequality. You engaged with a Citigroup report estimating a $16 trillion loss in U.S. economic output since 2000 due to racial gaps, breaking down the impact across wages, housing, education, and entrepreneurship. The flip side: closing these gaps could add $5 trillion to GDP in five years—underscoring your interest in how social justice is not just a moral, but also an economic imperative[6].
