Atop the highest mountain peak, there is a treasure known only through the oldest of whispers. It is the best kept secret that everyone keeps. We do not discuss it for it would be cruel and unbecoming to romanticize over these trifles. But we all know it to be there calling our name when we sleep or sip our morning coffee. At the top of this mountain there is a cliff and from the lookout you can see the graveyard of the giants. Most after stepping off this ledge will succumb to their earthly weight and fall to their deaths, joining the giants in their slumber. Only the holiest of us will float; Float out and drift among the yellow skies, drifting after the sun as it goes and goes and goes...

We are all orphans waiting for daddy to come home from the grocery trip he left for all those years ago. The practical ones, heirs to daddy, the pagans, choose power as the orienting basis for how to live life. The middle children, the athiests, nialists, but also the romantics, are bitter that daddy left and proclaim him dead. The young ones are "wise for their age" and claim to feel his presence and know him intimately, these are the Christians.

Sick. My only food for thought is the num of parallel trials that can be run is limited by the number of minds/intelligences working on the problem not necessarily the number of of circulating ideas in the assembly pool. These two numbers will often correlate but aren’t the same. So may have to introduce variable representing number of intelligences working on the project and could possibly make A a function of this number and time. Let me know if this makes sense or if I’m missing something.

lol I’m gen Z my high school is prob the only one that used it. We had a “[school name] tea” anonymously run account where they would post anonymous submissions, mostly degen gossip and pranks. E.g. “After a couple drinks at a party, [X] got busy with my friend’s dog” That’s a real post

Reminds me of the lack of a unification between relativity and quantum mechanics. Meta ideological coherence requires intuition and I would argue at least some faith. We have been taught to be skeptical and adhere in our beliefs to Karl Popper’s scientific falsifiability. Meta ideologies are often not directly easily falsifiable so they deviate from this holy prop. Skepticism is healthy but does not leave room for faith and intuition. This skepticism is not a new development but one which has been brewing since the enlightenment. Maybe it has become more widespread in the past 10 years as skepticism has become a more helpful tool when confronted with non trustworthy media institutions.

Agreed. A singular idea is non-scarce. There is no limit on its creation and spread so as many people can have it without taking it away from others. So it’s silly for the state to protect them. It is apt to say the relationship with an idea will be like one of a parent given a lack of state mandated idea control. Those with ideas will opt to protect them using means like cybersecurity as they nurture and develop them but ultimately that cannot control what happens when the idea is let out to the world. Does intellectual parenthood also imply a cultural shift?

If E (time for intellectual evolution) = T (time to test) A (size of assembly pool)! Wouldn’t a larger assembly pool increase time for intellectual evolution? You seem to be arguing that a larger assembly pool is good which I agree with but the equation doesn’t reflect that. It seems to be a little more complex. Maybe evolution of ideas does not have to occur after exploring every permutation of idea combination but can occur at any step in process and is more likely to occur if assembly pool is larger in scope and scale. So eqn looks more like: E=T/P(A) Where P(A) is the probability of finding coming up with beneficial idea and increases with A. Could be something like log(A). So E=T/(log(A)) Less elegant but lmk what you think.

Totally. I’d probably start with physics just bc that’s what I know and IMO CS online learning market is over saturated and hard to compete.

My plan for now is to try and make at least beginning of user experience without the need to onboard funds. The product is an education marketplace for online and in person educational content so I can encourage free content for this purpose. And also over time to build liquidity for ease of onboarding. I mean the key here is building community. So ease of creating free accessible content is important. Maybe I can do a FC frame to create and interact with free content? Is this a good idea? What else can I do for user acquisition?

I like this. Maybe community > tech because tech will come from community.

And I can always pivot taking with me what I’ve learned. Curious to see what others think.

What I came up with was to start building on cosmos. J a more adaptable and familiar for me. My thought process was something like I just have to start taking the first steps and the path will continue to reveal itself from there.

I read Joan Didion’s essay Holy Water. It was short and sweet, displaying her reverence for the control of water and implicitly contrasting Californian bureaucratic control of water with divine control. Hard to characterize in a cast. https://web.archive.org/web/20150313220244/https://www.pbs.org/pov/thirst/special_holywater.php

Youth culture has shifted country in the last 5 years. 5 years ago kids were waiting line for Jordans. Now they go thrifting. In the past 5 years we’ve seen the rise of musical artists like Morgan Wallen and Noah Kahan. My feeling is the former appeals to the right and the latter to the left. I feel like this shift will have political ramifications too but idk. Maybe I’m projecting. Anyone else see this?
