Welcome 🐘

I’d like to invite you on a thoughtful journey with me.

Time for a reset

After about a year trying out one system I feel like I need a reset. What worked well? for a while I was able to get into a bit of routine What didn’t work so well? not focussed enough to make something grow instead of forcing one way of doing things I am going to give some time to reset.

How to be smart

What does it mean to be smart? It used to be that if you remembered a lot of things you would be smart. You pass more tests, you go on quiz shows and people will come to you for knowledge. Technology tends to level the playing field. Now that we have the interned in our pockets remembering things is no longer necessary. So what does it mean to be smart?...

Chunking

In cognitive psychology, chunking is a process by which small individual pieces of a set of information are bound together to create a meaningful whole later on in memory. Wikipedia Perhaps It is quite amazing what we know about our brains. It is even more amazing what we don’t know about it yet. One thing that human brains do a lot is [[Pattern Recognition]] our brains are pretty good at it....

Creation? or Evolution?

With all the incredible advancements in AI technology these days. It isn’t very hard to imagine something like AGI happening sooner than later… That got me thinking. What if AGI wants or needs to experience the world it needs a physical body. Otherwise nothing can be first hand experience. When a powerful intelligence designs and creates itself, Who made it? was it the humans? or is it spontaneous? Tangents: [[Soul wants a body to experience reality]]...

How to have more Joy in my life

instead of passively wishing for something to happen I decided that I will plan for joy in my life. Big or small changing the things that I can control like my environment, people around me, arranging objects and space that I spend most of my time, and people that I spend time the most to make my world more likely to create joy is as good of a goal as any other…...

Rubber band of knwledge

How would you visualize all of the knowledge in the world? Sphere of knowledge that is growing very fast? One way I like to think about it is a rubber band that is being stretched. If you were to lay all of human knowledge in a line from easy to difficult. you could put people somewhere on that rubber band but because knowledge is growing so rapidly the rubber band would be stretching out really fast...

Small socks

I woke up with pain in my toes. I had been wearing socks that were a tiny bit smaller than my feet. There are things in life that you don’t notice at the time but after a long time you realize that it is causing pain. Reminded me of the time I started wearing ear plugs at night because I realized I wasn’t getting enough sleep because of how sensitive I was to the sound in the morning....

How to fight entropy

I feel like I am constantly fighting entropy in my life. You need constant energy to fight entropy. System without energy will eventually break down. [[Elon Musk]] once mentioned that he is constantly fighting entropy at his companies. I wonder how he does that?
