Just because you can model the universe that way mathmatically doesnt mean thats actually how it works. The free parameters are telling the story.

I think your attitude towards the "whale facts" chapters really determines whether you are my type of reader.

ideally, you overcome any childish pretensions of posturing yourself as mysterious once you realize that being candidly eccentric produces the same isolating effect

I was too hasty when I suggested that consciousness is a proof of being. I overlooked the original thrownness of Dasein, and that's on me. Would you like me to try this again using a properly phenomenological method?

--- Lemma 4.3 ---
Mathematician: We’d better close up shop.
Common Sense Person: Why do you say that?
Mathematician: AI proved Lemma 4.3 in my paper.
Common Sense Person: Was it very hard?
Mathematician: Not really. It used a 1987 result that made it straightforward.

as an insider, my experience with AI for math is that when it's a problem not in my field i'm like, "holy shit math is so cooked", and when it's a problem in my field i'm like, "lmao an AI mogged dan" (dan is the only one who seriously tried the problem in the last decade)

do not soften, do not let the cosmos slow cook you in masturbatory self pity, everything should be your enemy, every idea and opinion should invoke rage, listen to no single thing, no one is right, especially not you, blood on the wheel, blood on the wheel, blood on the wheel

While you were at home, reading, Heidegger, Dasein and ready-to-hand.
I was out there, partying, and doing-your-mom.

Here's an amazing piece of Christian history: Galileo writing out Psalm 145 in the margins of a Ptolemy text.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The marginalia on this page all pertain to astronomical calculations. The copy of Psalm 145 in Galileo's hand that was found in the book was on "an otherwise blank page" and is not seen in this picture. science.org/content/articl…
