The goal of the science is to reduce the many to the one.
Not sure what new groundbreaking truth did Schmidhuber discover with his "history of science is a history of compression progress"?
It was known explicitly since Sir William Hamilton and implicitly since Plato.

Explanation is an answer to the question "why?". Every explanation contains reason. So if I ask you why one plus one equals two, you will say "the REASON why one plus one equals two is because of that and that."
Thus, the name - The Principle of sufficient reason ie explanation.

Compression is not a problem. But decompression is a bummer.
Generalizing from particular is easy. How to particularize the general, is hard.
Law of homogeneity vs the law of specification.
Context is what matters in both.

There are no contexts, there are only problems to solve.
Context is a word used to describe abstract concepts used in order to solve certain problems.
But what if you can solve problems without using abstract concepts?

With the rise of AI focus will shift from learning to discovering.
“Neural networks just wants to learn”
They already are good at learning existing knowledge, but they’re not good at discovering new knowledge.

If everyone adopts Taleb's philosophy of optionality, being outside of the ring, waiting for rare event to collect payoff - GDP would collapse immediately.

I ask ChatGpt to recommend me authors who were inspiration to Schopenaheur's theory of abstraction; he outputs the most generic authors but not Thomas Reid which Schop sourced.
The same thing when I asked for critics of Stoicism - he does not mention Macaulay which had the most devastating critic.

Why animal will always miss a flight? Because animal is always on autopilot. No pun intended.
The fact that I can book a flight for tommorow and actually show up is only possible because I am guided by ABSTRACT motive independent of present perception.
Animals can not do that as animal is always guided by motives that appear in perception so he is destined to always live in "the present"

Our brothers animals are rejoicing anytime someone doomscrolls on X and Tiktok as it makes us closer to them again
As Schopenhauer said animal actions are guided by motives in present perception but humans can have also abstract concepts as motives which makes our life so much different and rational

It's funny how raising taxes is probably the best thing this administration can do given their goals.
That would immediately decrease inflation, public debt, budged&trade deficit.

People often say that AI advance will make us all vulnerable to intentions evil people or evil robots.
I think opposite. If AI advances it will make is *invulnerable*. We will have an AI shield which will protect us from injustice.
Law would not be needed anymore so State will disappear.

Re-reading Nasim Taleb and I can't not notice how his majority of ideas are commentary on Richard Dawkins ideas of evolution.
I call this Tracer bullets theory - nature/entrepreneurs can't predict future but fire many tracers (individuals/startups) to find targets.

But you know what is still beautiful after 20 years? Websites created with Flash.

Cursor feels like magic.
This get me thinking about this saying and definition of engineering - producing desired effect.
Witches were the first engineers, but they did not know real causes that produce desired effect and called it magic. Working with Cursor feels like this.
