Refuting one’s own conceptions of reality is as exhausting as it is exhilarating.

Thank you🫵. Might I ask for your advice on my math conjecture? The ASA Statistics in Imaging Section Conference on June 1-3, 2026 (asa-sii.github.io/website/ASA-SI…) accepted my poster submission: JointSpace and Operating Rhythms. Math was a strong suit of mine in my high school days, but I drifted toward human physiology as my deeper interest. Self-taught, I delved into Claude E. Shannon's A Mathematical Theory of Communication a decade ago and found his causal decision to distinguish message from meaning. My thesis in plain language is: A JointSpace exists that gives every human being sovereign, causally traceable control over their own knowledge. My guess is that a precise mechanism traceable in the language of math climbs the Pearl ladder to the 3rd rung on the (√-1) as the imaginary component that lets you construct better doings in the world. Might I ask for your advice (criticism) such that it might be coherent with your calculus? What might be a channel by which I can share it with you in this nascent stage?

Thanks for the endorsement. There are two points on which we are in full agreement: (1) Read Coexistence, and (2) Read the Book of Why. Regarding my growing up in the British Mandate of Palestine, take a look at this: ucla.in/42RDFdG

Converse with @yudapearl on his personal experience being born in the British Mandate of Palestine. His contribution to mankind is epic. His own son was murdered as a @WSJ reporter BECAUSE of his culture. Read Coexistence. Read The Book of Why, which subsumes a lifetime of academic contribution for which he was honored with the Turing Award. And yet this past weekend, educated idiots spoke from graduation podiums at @UMich to speak to sheeple propagating the inanity of 1st-grade BUNK by modern “academics”. He will read this post and you can watch his reasoned and rational replies. We are lucky to be alive to have such wise men among us. My immediate condo neighbor today celebrates his 97th birthday as the only male of his lineage alive from his roots in Hungary. He is a world-class emeritus architect who was part of the team that designed the chapel in Colorado Springs at the Air Force Academy. Thank goodness for the Growth of Knowledge that these fine men of the ages have contributed to us all. They have risen above the hate, the lies, the death and destruction to be exemplars of truth and beauty. THANK GOODNESS.

I emailed University of Michigan leadership (and the professor) about the exclusion of Jewish students.
This is all a symptom of a campus culture that’s lost its balance. I deeply ache for the Jewish students at @UMich that still feel alone (exactly how I felt back in 2020).
If you want to speak up too, here are the emails:
- drpeters@umich.edu (the professor that gave the politicized speech)
- provost@umich.edu (Provost Office)
- presoff@umich.edu (UMich President)

University presidents do not know how to apologize. Instead of invoking "It was painful for Jewish students", Grasso should have corrected Peterson to read "the injustice and inhumanity of the 78-year Palestinian war on Israel" -- thus rectifying Peterson's cause-effect inversion . @AkaLazarus @adam_louis52328 @AndrewPessin @JFrgatUCLA @LekhtNaya @EinatWilf

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me.
Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true.
Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response.
I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth.
The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts.
I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse.
So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff stunned the audience by completely destroying the Palestinian narrative about the conflict. The truth the world refuses to accept: Palestine never existed as a sovereign Arab state. The British Mandate of Palestine was a British territory taken from the defeated Ottoman Empire after 1917. Jews lived continuously in the Holy Land for centuries — long before modern Zionism. They were the majority in Jerusalem under Ottoman rule. Jews legally bought desert land (including the area that became Tel Aviv) and turned it into thriving cities and kibbutzim. Not a single Arab was displaced by these purchases. The Arabs rejected the 1947 UN partition plan and launched war to destroy the newborn Jewish state. They lost. During that war, Arab armies ordered local Arabs to flee so they could “push the Jews into the sea.” Many did exactly that. Israel has never committed genocide. It has fought for survival against repeated attempts to commit genocide against the Jewish people. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran’s regime are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East. The historical facts are clear. The propaganda is not. Share this. The truth needs to be heard.

Nope. Not at all interested in being captured by the Dollar Store fix. I don’t see NPs, get advise from the receptionist nor the office manager let alone the CEO or CFO. This is advice from under the rock where the blind follow the blind.

That seems to be getting stuck on the -ology part. It is the knowing part that needs to be plain. My dad always said, “Know what you know, and know what you don’t know.” To my way of thinking that is the plain meaning that needs focus. We don’t get stuck on weatherology as being more meaningful.
English
@bishopb0b It’s not the knowing itself tho but the study of it
English
We need a better term than ‘epistemology’.
It scares people away. Too complicated, too many syllables, too long.
‘Theory of knowledge’ is less complicated but even longer!

There are very few things that everyone in the world agrees on:
1. Fuck cancer
2. Fuck publishers who take people’s publicly-funded scientific work, pay 0 to peer reviewers, and keep copyrights until 60-100 years after the death of the author.
DEF avoid this website tho!

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer. I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

This is why I had been a founding member of thefp.com. TY. Please monitor @yudapearl on X.com where he is active. He is, IMO, as important as men like Einstein in understanding reality in a most rigorous logical way. thefp.com/p/ancient-wisd…

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Block, on why treating AI as a "copilot" is a losing strategy:
@jack argues that most companies are approaching AI in a way that will make it nearly impossible for them to survive.
"I think most of the industry is thinking about AI as like a co-pilot, as something that is augmented onto, rather than like how do you just rebuild our whole company with this as the core."
His concern is that bolting AI onto existing structures produces companies that look indistinguishable from each other, and from the AI labs themselves.
"If it doesn't make sense for your business to do that and you end up being or looking very similar or rhyming too closely with the frontier labs, then I think it's going to be very, very challenging to differentiate and survive."
This thinking has been driving his decisions since early 2024, when these tools "really came to bear."
That's when his team began building Goose, an agent coding harness, as part of a broader effort to rebuild around AI rather than layer it on top.
The core insight?
Speeding up old workflows with AI is a short-term gain every competitor will match. Real differentiation comes from rebuilding the company itself around intelligence.

@MushtaqBilalPhD This is erroneous. I live in college town where I can walk into a library and access any artifact of knowledge available freely. Sci-Hub lets me do it anywhere I have online access. A good is a human building the repertoire of tasks they can cause.
