Going to go through this book now (see picture).

Any useful information in the study of this book / the field of predictive modeling and analytics?

Although it's far away, what's the next step, assuming you grasp the full extent of the book.

Happy quarantine studies! <3

Get a good understanding of algebra and analysis is the best advice. Don’t take the results to serious and always try to use some common sense in what you do and understand how a small change can flip everything.

Understanding history is just data and not the future. Game theory and decision theory are very interesting. Same goes for non linear optimization and if you want to really advance chaos theory.
I personally think normality and predictability are the prejudice of the mediocre mind.

That your mind is prejudiced towards normality and predictability?

I would assume he means something along the lines that your "mind" (Whatever mind is supposed to signify?) is prejudiced in fields where predictability and normality plays a part. For instance, people think that there's a lot more violence because they read about it everywhere. Your mind is a prediction machine, but when it's filled with bad data, you get wrong conclusions.
