What made me fall in-love with Machine Learning and A.I (specifically Neural Network Models) is the sci-fi terminology that is used and the newness of it all. You feel like you’re on the Frontier of Technology and Human Innovation. Simple words like Kernel, a function that takes complex non- linear datasets and transfers it to a higher dimension where it’s transformed to a linear format where the model can detect, process and make sense of patterns…it gets the wannabe computer nerd in me super hard.

I am still a novice in my software engineering journey…so I do not know in the future if my contributions towards a project bigger than myself will carry any weight or significance. But what I love about code, is that acknowledgment or recognition of any contribution is given regardless of your meat-suit and all the social complexities that accompany it. All that matters is that your code works and performs its function. Maybe I’m naive, and this space is also cursed with human biases but currently this is where my headspace is at. Meritocracy is one of the purest aspects of coding.

Ecclesiastes 7:16-17 “Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise—why destroy yourself? Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool—why die before your time?” Tread lightly old soul for some proverbial rabbit holes should only be peered down over the edge and not fallen down. Art by By Martin Ujdur

‘Thousands of years ago, ‘Salt’ was seen as a very precious and valuable good. It was traded as a medium of exchange amongst buyers and sellers of goods. The word ‘salary’ has its origins from the Latin word for ‘Salt rations’ that were paid to Roman soldiers. Salt is mentioned through many holy scriptures & the history of many distant and unrelated civilizations. Despite it being a common good today, its roots run deep in our language and society.’ Thoughts from Guy Swann on Bitcoin Audible reboot episode “Bitcoin is not what you think it is” - Guy’s Take _044

Decentralized systems, AI, quantum computing, robotics, nanotech, and nuclear technology are converging. Together, they’re propelling us toward a radical new understanding of Time, Space, and Energy. The future is accelerating, and we’re on the brink. 🚀 e/acc

Politics create problems that Technology solves. Hopefully we are moving away from coercion & more towards consent. Treating each other as rational compassionate animals. When we do acknowledge that aspect of ourselves & treat one another accordingly, we unlock these objectively superior dimensions of being. More economic prosperity. More innovation. More celebration and human flourishing. 🫶 e/acc 🚀

As a kid growing up in the 90’s, I remember saving my tuck shop allowance in a plastic 2L Coke bottle

Jesse: I just feel like I’m designed to be slightly dissatisfied with everything. I satisfy one desire, and it just agitates another. Celine: But I feel really alive when I want something. Wanting, whether intimacy with another person or a new pair of shoes, is kind of beautiful. I like that we have those ever-renewing desires. Dialogue taken from 2004 film ‘Before Sunset’

Physics is a system we invented to understand & express mathematics outside the realm of numbers and functions. Language is a map and Reality is the territory. The map can never show the entirety of the territory. Our mind’s perceived Truth is always incomplete.

The brilliant Polymaths from different eras Pythagoras (c. 570–495 BCE) and Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) both agreed that God used the language of mathematics to create The Cosmos.

Facts about Gold: 1. Element: Au, atomic number 79—dense, shiny, soft metal. 2. Scarce: 0.004 ppm in Earth’s crust, found in veins or rivers. 3. Ancient: Used since 4000 BC for jewelry, coins, status. 4. Stable: Doesn’t rust—stays pretty forever. 5. Conductive: Great for electronics, like circuit boards. 6. Mined: South Africa led historically; China tops now (330 tons, 2023). 7. God engineered from the explosion of Supernova 🫶

The Mongols made no technological breakthroughs,founded no new religions,no new methods of agriculture. Their craftsman could not weave cloth, cast metal,make pottery or even bake bread.They manufactured neither porcelain nor pottery, painted no pictures and build no buildings. But as the Mongols conquered,they opened the world to new commerce, not only in goods but ideas & knowledge.They became unrivaled cultural carriers. Genghis.Khan’s Empire was well known for erecting bridges and connecting different parts of civilization.

“If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6, and 9, then you would have the key to the universe.” -Nikola.Tesla

You gain knowledge through study. By practicing knowledge you gain experience. Through experience and reflection, you gain wisdom and intuition. The frontier of expanding consciousness is never complete. What is gained after wisdom?

In nature, it is the balance of positive & negative experiences that contribute towards survival and growth. There is no growth in nature without ‘pain’. Modern life often shelters people from the natural role of pain. How do we decide on the right amount of micro-dosing on “discomfort, pain & suffering” to ensure our way of life does not neglect that essential biological, mental & spiritual component of human development? Practicing Gratitude & Perspective. To realize what an amazing time it is to be alive. The access to opportunity has never been easier or greater! You just need the “Will” 🫶. To remember and show gratitude for all that came before you that allowed your existence to be here at this point in time is truly a miracle. To know and never forget your blessings and realize challenges are relative and everyone has them.🙏 Wisdom inspired by Zuby❤️‍🔥

Journal Entry 2025/02/26 My family seldomly responds to my ideas and thoughts on our family chat lol. But I continue to preach the gospel of Technology… “Hi Fam I would really encourage you to use AI…I would recommend ChatGPT or Grok. It’s an amazing tool and is going to change the world. As soon as the boys start talking and are able to ask questions, let them interact with it. AI is a tool just like social media just like the internet. The process of learning how to use these tools are ongoing and a messy process like all skill development. There is no dumb question when interacting with AI. If you are wrong it will explain why you are wrong, and give you resources to improve your insights. Even if you are seeking an opinion…Grok (connected to X for live updates on different topics) uses its computational algorithm to take the general topic consensus of the community and formulate a response 🤯 It is an academic and social human tool. I absolutely am fascinated by this technology🫶 Robotics, AI, Bitcoin, Space Travel and Brain Chips. What a time to be alive. Love you all♥️”

“Those who tell stories, rule society”- Plato Those who understand meta-cognition can exploit those who don’t understand it. If you can manipulate society at the abstract layer of meta-cognition, you can program society. A Harsh Truth is humans are highly programmable with our flexible & malleable cognitive software. It’s why propaganda, fake news, PsyOps etc steer many in a certain direction & accept certain narratives. The individual needs to be conscious of it, to take action & control of it.

The image captures a classic 1970s American family, a picture of middle-class prosperity and stability. The father, a hardworking factory worker, stands proudly beside his two-car driveway, a symbol of financial security achievable on a single income. His steady union-backed job provides not just a paycheck but a pension, affordable healthcare, and the promise of a comfortable retirement. His wife, a dedicated stay-at-home mother, tends to the children, ensuring they grow up in a nurturing home environment—a luxury that feels increasingly out of reach for later generations.

The world is being restructured and it’s for the better. Technology is reducing frictions how we connect & communicate with each other (whether through news, money, education or language etc). In the Biblical story of The Tower Of Babel, the unity of language allowed humans to collaborate efficiently. They attempted to build a grand tower, so tall it would reach into the heavens.
