@HenriSjolund Stress immunity awaits Henri

I just picked up this book from the mailbox, @thethinkersmith. I’m really looking forward to reading it. However, since I’m quite a slow reader, please don’t expect any reviews in the next few weeks. 😅

We don’t know how long we’ll live. That’s why each moment matters. To spend any moment in stress or negative emotion is a waste, because we don’t know how many moments remain. Stress/negative emotion is often a choice. With self-awareness, we can learn to interpret every person, place, thing, event, and situation as information and respond neutrally. The knowledge in this book demonstrates how to remain calm in any circumstance, regardless of what happens. amazon.com/dp/B0F9ZK99WD

LeCun leaving META, in part, based upon his view that AGI will not arise out of existing LLM advances is another confirmation of the critical rationalist position that no amount of memory, processing speed, or aggregation of existing knowledge will ever equate to knowledge creation. ft.com/content/c586eb…

When you understand this, stress becomes meaningless. [📹 Kim Emerson]

Every waking moment is an opportunity for a conscious experience. In the aggregate, the sum of a person's conscious experiences is what describes the quality of their life. To regulate one's conscious experience is skill. amazon.com/dp/B0F9ZK99WD

It's one thing to have no control over any random thought that enters consciousness, however, once that thought is there, it's now under the dominion of any person's effort-based thinking. With effort, anyone may learn to become immune to stress. amazon.com/dp/B0F9ZK99WD

Working towards stress immunity is an unarguable objective for anyone in whom the idea is of interest and they are willing to put in the requisite work. This is precisely shared in common by all skills, and all skills are developable. amazon.com/dp/B0F9ZK99WD

@eigenron What’s more, researchers who understand critical rationalism as this offers the strongest explanation for the origin of knowledge. And these origins are fundamentally different than the way current reasoning models, as impressive as they are in certain contexts, operate.

btw, how many neuroscientists are employed at the top AI labs? it's kinda weird that labs and companies trying to build "intelligence" have little-to-no researchers who've actually been studying intelligence and consciousness all their lives (like neuroscientists, psychologists, etc.) lol.

@Sam_kuyp and for the same reason why, RE Deutsch, an explanation is good because it is hard to vary and all of its details serve a functional role. No rigor = no/bad explanation

Something that took me a while to appreciate about mathematical rigour is that, far from being exclusionary, it’s what makes it possible for others to understand what a piece of mathematics is really about.

@lewishancock93 My publisher indicated they do not have a relationship with Amazon UK. That said, the book can be shipped to the UK it's just that there is a large shipping charge (so large that, while my publisher makes a profit, I actually lose money on every book shipped overseas)

@thethinkersmith Hi James, is this book going to be available in the UK from Amazon?

@lewishancock93 I'll have to ask my publisher if that is possible Lewis.

@CoachDrewLittle @TKPhysPrep thank you

@TKPhysPrep Applied sprint training was amazing. Bought it instantly on release. @thethinkersmith consultations are worth the investment too.

You reading this post, if you haven’t bought and read these then you definitely should

@TKPhysPrep @elitefts @RUGBY_STR_COACH much appreciated

@thethinkersmith Your work you’ve put out on @elitefts and in your books along with your presentations on @RUGBY_STR_COACH Community site have all been massive influences on my career so it’s quite literally the least I can do is give your work a shoutout man. 🤙🏽
