I remember one time remembering that I dreamt of airplanes - and then eventually reading Wright Brothers by David McCullough (great book by the way) and then realizing that someone made it up and it had infiltrated my dream
Then literally everything in the world is made up and it all infiltrates my dream

There are a few people that I didn’t know of in person that are dead - but still think of
That’s actually a slightly wild idea

Moravec's paradox: "We're more aware of simple processes that don't work well than of complex ones that work flawlessly"
Very bad times call for reassessment of what even bad times are to begin with - they make bad times look like good times and good times look really badly timed
By the way Shakespeare does this often - build tension through the whole first few acts then bam - hit you with a line or two that reframes the whole thing. Hamlet comes to mind.
All those modal wandering melancholy and mood swings pretending to be crazy (or is he), and then a single blue note grounds the universe in the fact that there is an architecture to the madness - divinity

I love jazz because sometimes the notes you play are all over the place, they don't match each other, it's a bit chaotic, and then one note is played and it all falls into place. One note, is all it takes, and it frames everything that came before it beautifully
I can’t stop thinking about this quote:
"The moment you stop chasing what’s not meant for you is the moment you finally make space for what is."
"The moment you stop chasing what’s not meant for you is the moment you finally make space for what is."
The complexity behind simplicity is insane

Bret shares an interesting observation with even more interesting implications: right now, humans are using machines to write code that was developed in a way humans could read it in order to build products for humans to use. And yet, in the near future it’s possible that humans will be using machines to write machine readable code for interactions between machines.
I know this is happening in some examples on a small scale, but there are potentially major size, speed, and performance improvements to be made by machine friendly compression

All this tech has been around for 10+ years, yet people don’t care or even know what it's about. But suddenly, AI shows up, and everyone is talking about it—everyone is using it.
Does this mean AI tech far outweighs blockchain tech, or is it simply easier to understand?
Definitely not.
Blockchain/crypto people are just bad at building and selling products.

Having a relatively short memory / being optimistic at the same time can be a dangerous combo
Because -- you don't remember how hard it was. You also don't know how hard it can be -- and I frankly don't care about both

In disc golf there's a phrase: "Slow is smooth, smooth is far." But I wonder if this isn't just the application of other foundations? Isn't that almost the same thing as "slow and steady wins the race"? What about attachment, isn't it a bit like trying too hard sometimes gets in the way?
Life is weird and beautiful and unexpected - it's like walking down a street, and running into a friend you hadn't seen in ages, maybe decades that reframes how you see yourself and where you come but is relevant to who you were before, and will be next
What's most vulnerable, is most relatable.
in my imagination chaos gets wires crossed, which cause accidental sparks. serendipitous moments where energies brush shoulders whether it’s meant for them to or not.
i don’t know how to say this in a way that makes sense to another human. i’m looking at Craigslist missed connections wondering which ones stumble their ways back to each other.

i used to care a lot about changing the world when i was in elementary/middle school but slowly drifted away, and now i would say i care almost entirely about discovering and understanding the world rather than changing it
