If the people of Greenland want their territory to join America, we should accept them!

Greenland wants independence from Denmark.

@Retrofit_Games @TOEwithCurt More importantly is could you see into the future it's not hard to see into the past... We do that with the cosmic microwave background everyday.

I am pleased to announce that Geoffrey Hinton will be joining us on Theories of Everything for an upcoming episode. We will explore his work and ideas in greater detail than ever before. I invite you to submit questions for Geoffrey below👇. Your contributions are important, and I look forward to seeing the thoughtful questions you all have for him. Thank you.

@TOEwithCurt Can we be sure that time moves forward and not backward?

I wonder what it will feels like when you voted for @realDonaldTrump and then @elonmusk comes along and sacks you

@lexfridman 1 hour with Trump letting him spread his lies, made me never want to listen to pods again. So sad really 💔 does anyone have any other great pod tips?

Podcasts and X were key to this election. In the future, if you want to win, you need to be able to do 2-3 hour long-form podcasts. People don't want cookie-cutter PR-approved sound bites. They want to get to know the real human being. I'll keep doing that with everyone ❤️

I think the sneaky big turning point in this election was @jaredkushner on @lexfridman. It was the first real "Wait, you said this guy was terrible and he seems excellent." It seems like the big shift was about that delta.

@TOEwithCurt Only problem with that, is that most religions and beliefs are by default contradictory to each other. The fiercest atheists are religious people.
I believe in the common denominator 😎

I used to believe we needed a shared understanding of concepts such as truth or our highest beliefs, such as “God”.
I thought that this shared belief created societal harmony, ensuring we had the same or similar conceptions. But I don't believe this any longer. I also don't believe in the alternative often presented, which is that we just shouldn’t (or can’t) believe in anything. People say that we no longer have any core values.
Cool… Okay… What if these aren't the only options?
What if, when someone says “I believe in God” or “I believe in truth” that these words are meant to encompass the widest possible realm of existence? It’s as undefined as existence itself. What if, furthermore, this ambiguity isn't a weakness, but rather is the key to its strength?
When someone says they believe in God, perhaps it means something different to each of us. However, we find a niche under this broad category. That is, my understanding of God might be different from yours, but our expressions of belief harmonize because the idea is so vague. This vagueness allows each person to fit their interpretation into the larger picture.
The goal isn’t about believing in nothing. Instead, it’s about believing in the most ambiguous thing! Why? The most ambiguous allows the greatest possible evolutionary canvas for each of us to create our niches of knowledge and epistemologies. This amorphous category creates a colossal ecosystem, akin to the greatest biological diversity.
This is quite odd for me to write as someone who loves, reveres, and petitions for precise rigor in conversations. My background in mathematical physics has trained me that way. But what if by embracing this ambiguity, we create the widest ecosystem of knowledge and, therefore, the greatest diversiform thoughts?
People dismiss the concept of “God” as polysemic… but what if this abundance of meaning is part of the point?
