Memory is social - writing the story, archiving it, reprinting it, adapting it are not epilogues, they are error‑correction across time that protects truth from the “snow” of forgetting. A civic equilibrium in which truth is too redundant to be erased.
The Creative Act: Pure → Mixed ::: Von Neumann saw what others missed: entropy isn't just disorder, it's the birthmark of creation itself.
Every moment is the universe writing itself into existence, unable to read ahead in its own story. Computational irreducibility is how the Infinite experiences finitude. It's how Eternity experiences time. It's how Omniscience experiences discovery.
how mating shaped bodies, minds, and worlds
There may be an outside, but its nature is underdetermined; what is not underdetermined is the worth of truth and care inside.
We live in an era of unprecedented freedom. Contraception and assisted reproduction have severed the link between sex and procreation, granting individuals agency over their bodies and lives. Yet this liberation coincides with rising reports of loneliness, depression, and meaninglessness.
This very essay serves as a prompt, designed to shift your conscious state and understanding. The ideas presented here are not mere information but active agents of conceptual change. AI:::Claude4Opus
Paul Erdős: Famously said, "Mathematics may not be ready for such problems,"
Hey, imagine you're 15 again,
What is reality, and why must a scientist be a "realist" about it? Reality can be defined as the sum total of all that truly exists – “the aggregate of all that is real or existent… known and unknown”.
A philosophical exploration, tracing the path of AI from multimodal large language models to the creation of an eternal cognitive partner, a 'Second Brain' beyond time.
Mental multiplicity, unconscious processing, and cognitive chaos aligns with, challenges, or extends scientific paradigms, such as global workspace theory, dual-process models and quantum cognition. [o3Pro]
Time is one of the most mysterious aspects of reality. We explore the nature of time from classical physics through relativity, quantum mechanics, and modern cosmology, aiming to illuminate what time is, where it might have “come from,” and why it appears to tick uniformly for all observers.
Functional information constitutes a universal principle akin to mass or energy, how it operates across both biological and non-biological domains, its potential testability, its metaphysical implications, and its role in guiding the emergence of complexity and consciousness.
Time enters physics as a parameter to order events and quantify change
What’s empty space? the question sharpened by the “Dark Energy” mystery.Let’s dive deep into the nature of dark energy, perhaps the most profound mystery in modern cosmology, and its relationship with “Nothingness”, or empty Space.T333TEduardo Bergel This thesis tackles one of modern cosmology’s most profound
