properly understanding AI. I thought this book compared well to Nick Bostrom's 'Superintelligence', with Life 3.0 being a little bit less technical. Overall I thought it was a great reminder of the future shock that AI will bring. It may not occur in my lifetime, but regardless we need to think about the coming intelligence explosion like it's on our doorstep.

📚 Book Review: Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark Finished: January 26, 2019 Professor at MIT, Max Tegmark peers into the future to give us a hint at what is to come. Filled with uncertainty and guesswork, this was an extensive warning of the barriers humanity will meet when encountering extended intelligence (or artificial intelligence). This book is very well rounded, as it becomes a necessity to discuss physics and philosophy in the approach to

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. — Albert Camus Wishing warmth and stillness to all on this Christmas day. #Christmas #Camus #Solstice

"This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play." — Alan Watts #AlanWatts #Presence

The master was asked: "What did you do before enlightenment?" "Chop wood, carry water." "And after?" "Chop wood, carry water." Nothing changes, yet everything is different. This is the new year. #Zen #Philosophy

what's at stake. The philosophical questioning is complimented by the progress they make on their vacation, and eventually you realize that there was never a separation between the philosophy and the journey at all. Though some parts require a little background knowledge of philosophy, I would recommend this book to anyone.

📚 Book Review: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig Finished: January 16, 2019 What a book. I finished reading it five minutes ago, so I'm still reeling. Trying to unpack it all I suppose. It begins with a simple enough journey on a touring-motorcycle with Robert and his son Chris. It's very raw, real and relatable, but this is only an introduction. The full force of the backstory soon unravels and we slowly learn

No one that understands Bitcoin is afraid of the volatility. - Michael Saylor

still —motionless —yet —to distill —calm —quiet Five meanings. One syllable. "Be still" = stop moving / keep going / become an apparatus for extracting essence Next time someone says "be still," ask: which one?

Language puzzle: "Nothing left alone will still sound." Count the floating meanings: • nothing (void / no-thing) • left (departed / remaining) • alone (singular / all-one) • will (future / desire) • still (yet / motionless / distill) • sound (audio / healthy / probe) One sentence. Dozens of readings. Language is deeper than we treat it.

Your todo list is not a burden. todo = to do = everything Every task is existence asking to be lived. The list doesn't separate you from life—it IS life, in small invitations. Not "things I must finish before I can rest." Rather: "everything, arriving, one thing at a time."

"Nothing matters." Read it again, slower. No thing matters. The void matters. Emptiness is not the absence of meaning—it's the space where meaning becomes possible. Nothing matters.
