This is so beautiful. And so important to study. This phenomena (emergent coherence) is central to much of life, and most people don't even imagine it could happen.

They capture the exact moment when a developing heart shifts from silence to its first beat. There is no “switch”: many cells gradually become active and, upon crossing a critical threshold, the entire tissue suddenly synchronizes.

1. When you write something intended to be read by an important person, go through it and cut every unnecessary word.
2. The reader of anything you publish is an important person.

@PalmerLuckey @grok why using mouse brain cells is better than using a silicone based circuit ?
English
I have just been informed that one of the teams competing in the AI Grand Prix is using a biological computer built with cultured mouse brain cells to control their drone.
At first look, this seems against the spirit of the software-only rules. On second thought, hell yeah.

@KeithWoodsYT Complexity ≠ design. Snowflakes are complex because physics demands structure—no designer needed. Design comes in when there’s specificity for a purpose. Physics gives patterns; design explains intent.

There was an influential atheist philosopher named Antony Flew who converted to philosophical theism late in life, after concluding that the complexity and information content of DNA couldn’t be explained by unguided material processes.
Even though religious people are generally hostile to evolution, I don’t think you can give a proper account of complexity like this emerging in an entropic universe without proposing some kind of purposive drive in nature.

It just seems implausible this is what we are made of, essentially, nanotechnology about a billion years beyond anything we can design or make ourselves.

@SlappinBongos @Andercot A mind has purpose, therefore a mind also requires a higher mind.... to infinity.

@sulaimanghori There was that one thing you said during the podcast that wasn't smart.
Anyway, you're young and bright, and hopefully you've learned a lesson.
Keep bringing us closer to ASI! 👊

A very insightful article! A must read for those who want to shape their lives for better.
Three different points/quotes in the article which I really like-
1- “If you want a specific outcome in life, you must have the lifestyle that creates that outcome long before you reach it”
2- “High intelligence is the ability to iterate, persist, and understand the big picture. The mark of low intelligence is the inability to learn from your mistakes.”
3- “The best periods of my life always came after a period of getting absolutely fed up with the lack of progress I was making.”

The first step to change your life is if you can read this article in one go with full attention. Many people can’t. Attention span is broken. Force yourself.

All these kinds of people piss me off so much man
Just build something people need
If you can’t, then build something people want.
That’s all.

This article has almost as much reach as the viral Nick Shirley video
This energy is way more positive…
Love having this energy on my timeline.

Less than 24 hours after the article contest announcement, this guy’s article pops up all over my timeline with 93 million views. He will likely win. And nothing about this felt organic.

We sometimes forget that social media is a recent invention and that if it existed from time immemorial, most books would not exist. There’s no difference between a book and a well written Twitter article, functionally. But many performative people here would “book” mark that article and swear they will NEVER read a self help book.
There is nothing in that article that isn’t well documented in various self help books and just like the article is not self-enforcing, no self help books is intended to hand-hold you through personal development, at best they give you insights or perspectives. But ironically, only books get the flak for being too abstract, too subjective and what-not.
It is far more intellectually honest to admit (1) that you don’t like reading certain genres of books because they’re more cognitively demanding as opposed to other genres that are more relaxing, or (2) that the structured nature of books in general can induce anxiety and you prefer to stumble on interesting things to read (which social media makes easy). These are perfectly reasonable reasons.
What is utterly performative is the continuous denigration of a sub category of books as serving no purpose, when the vast majority of people barely read ANY books. Unsurprisingly, the people who really like reading are the ones likely to read that long article for the same reason they would casually pick up a book to read. Self help or otherwise.
Most of you here perform your intelligence as you perform your criticisms. Neither is that deep.
