The most important thing universities should do in a world with AI is to greatly increase the number of professors, so that classes can be smaller and more class time can be spent directly interacting with students as people.

After months of work on my 'Continuity Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics', I’ve decided to archive it for now. It’s far from perfect, but I’m proud. My genuine attempt to say something new about the Measurement Problem and the nature of reality.

I’ve proposed a thermodynamic ontology that defines energy not as a substance or a measure but a negation of absolute nothing (max entropy + symmetry).
