I met quite a few 10x people at Goldman Sachs when I had a brief stint as a strat after graduating from college. The thing about them was that they were extraordinarily impressive not only in professional endeavors but also in personal ones.

This is so satisfying to watch. People who think that in the age of intelligent machines, there won't be anything for us to do, we will finally have time to do things like this not because we have to make a living, but because it's art.

One of my teachers in high school used to say that to learn mathematics, “Head and hand have to hurt” (from thinking and writing). Good work!

The main contention was whether they had the right to make him stop. In Japan, they would be protected by the law. In the UK, they were not. In the video he posted, the conversation is as if they assert a right rather than stating they are under NDA.

There are multiple ways of drawing a map of any territory. The question always is whether your map is more useful than mine.
I totally agree that the universe is one substance. Parmenides pointed that out some 2500 years ago, Hermes Trismegistus some 4000 years ago. It's

Endlessly rehearsing and replaying a scenario in your head is a tell-tale autistic trait. The way she says, “They will say X, and I will say Y.” This causes difficulty in dealing with real-life situations: they deviate from strong priors.

Calling them leaders is a misuse of the word. A leader is someone who shows the way. The correct term seems to be rulers. Western countries are being ruled, whether they like it or not. Not governed, not led. Ruled.

I think he did quite the opposite. When I was in college in the UK, I remember a funny incident. An American tourist visited our grounds and asked the porter, "Is this pre-war?" The porter replied, "Lady, this is pre-America."

The stagnation of birth rates in the Western world will turn into an off-the-cliff situation when all the kids on puberty blockers reach child-bearing age. I don't know how widespread the phenomenon is, but it will have massive consequences down the line.

“It wasn't intentional, but you are taking it personally.” Masterful.
Taking things personally is one of the fastest roads to unnecessary suffering.
But, from the tone of the person recording the video, it seems they are not actually offended—they are weaponizing the language.

That would be a lucrative job. I watched an interview with a foreigner serving a sentence in Japan. He worked folding paper bags.
He was only making one of many folds, handing it over to the next guy. They really drill cooperative behaviors in.

I used to think that growing up in Poland in the late '80s and early '90s was somewhat traumatizing. I remember wearing a winter jacket while in class because the school didn't have money for heating or it didn't work. But damn, it seems I was lucky.

I highly recommend reading The Kybalion. The Principle of Vibration is one of the seven Hermetic principles. This idea wouldn't have seemed strange to a Hermetic 4000 years ago—it would have seemed natural.

A few months back, I attended a lecture on academic integrity. The gist was, "Don't do fraud," but the interesting part was statistics regarding some internal reviews. Turns out the majority of papers have "issues" with the data.

I think the fact that nobody has taken these folks out yet is a testament to the inherent goodness of humanity. Seriously, these people are almost comically evil.

While anti-vaxxers certainly exist, this term is often used as a derogatory slur for people who question whether all components of vaccines are safe and effective. 🤷♂️
If you can't genuinely question such things, you're in a religion.

The proper response is to say, “Stop sending me AI-generated porn, you creep,” and block the person, not to show it to your mother.

Stephen Wolfram once said that he thinks the Dark Matter will turn out to be the Caloric of our time. It's not a particularly controversial opinion. Your tweet may not age well.

The race to AGI is the race to zero. I've been saying this since Stable Diffusion came out. Now, it is easier than ever to build and host a powerful model, and in a few weeks, it will be easier still. The faster they go, the less money they will make. It's going to be fun.

The flipside is that very few medical professionals develop this intuition. Given my life experience interacting with doctors, I would rather take advice from a well-trained LLM.

Funny, I made this point in a conversation just yesterday. America is one of the few if not the only, places where you can realize big ideas.
China has too rigid a top-down structure that promotes the corruptible. Ideas need space (and capital) to breathe.

It's pretty simple. Consider living as moving in a vector field. There's a gradient. If the gradient points upwards towards a better future, you're automatically drawn toward it. But if you “get into a hole,” it's tough to crawl out because most directions you see point

At home. At 37, I am old enough to realize that the “secret” to happiness is minimizing the contact surface with the rest of society. My well-being is inversely proportional to the number of people I have to interact with.

Trans-human sports are the way to go. Bring it on. Implants, enhancements, genetic modifications (including alien DNA 🧬 if you can get your hands on it), whatever heart desires. That would be fun to watch.

That's an idealist view. In most of the organizations I worked for, some mid-level manager type would destroy our productivity in the office. Working from home is the greatest invention in the history of mankind. We can form a group on Slack and actually get things done quietly.

So first, you raise an ungrateful brat (totally not your fault; it's "bad character," right?), and then you resort to emotional abuse. 👏 Great parenting, indeed.

The phone is a fascinating example. Making the best possible phone requires scaling the endeavor to unprecedented levels—like the iPhone. There's no way so much energy and material could go into producing a one-off product for a single billionaire.
