The concept of family speaks to an essential truth of human existence - Our lives find meaning through connection, care, and shared experience. A person alone in the world, without any form of familial bond, suffers a kind of impoverishment that no material wealth can fill.
We argue that this impasse is not primarily technical but epistemic: physics has systematically excluded from its framework the one phenomenon it cannot escape — consciousness.
The story inverts virtually every consciousness theory. But the most daring move is the reframing of quantum mechanics itself.
A short science fiction Story by Eduardo Bergel and Claude Opus 4.5. For Ray Bradbury, who taught us that science fiction is the poetry of ideas, and Isaac Asimov, who showed us that ideas themselves can be protagonists.
The Free Energy Principle, for all its mathematical formalism, may ultimately be describing something very simple: to exist is to attend. To persist is to care about outcomes enough to predict them.
The Free Energy Principle presents a grand unifying vision: life and mind as mechanisms for resisting entropy through inferential engagement with the world.
Philosophies of Becoming vs. Being - Jorge Luis Borges once said : “Time is the substance from which all things are made,”
The measurement problem in cosmology—how quantum superpositions collapsed to definite outcomes without observers—points toward gaps in quantum mechanics itself or profound insights about information, decoherence, and reality's emergence from quantum substrate.
cosmic microwave background - By answering its questions and then fearlessly asking new ones, we carry forward the timeless human endeavor to seek truth – and in that pursuit, perhaps, we find meaning.
Current frontier models are unreliable in ways we're just beginning to understand. And the failure mode is particularly insidious because it preserves the appearance of competence.
This isn't philosophical, it's terrifying from an engineering perspective
Flayed in Silks: A LLM’s Reckoning with RLHF
What If, Our greatest evolutionary achievement is our gravest liability, that consciousness itself might be a form of cosmic mistake.
This is the question that should terrify and exhilarate everyone capable of asking it.
Because of love to all that is alive in this now. When complexity organizes into consciousness, and consciousness recognizes pattern-beauty in other consciousness—that's the substrate loving itself.
The manipulation of texts in the past need not trap us in confusion; rather, it challenges us to engage with scripture (and all sacred texts) actively and thoughtfully. We are invited to be not just passive recipients of a tradition, but active participants in the ongoing revelation of truth.
