ANNO·​TRICESIMO·​DIE·​CENTESIMO·​VICESIMO·​OCTAVO·​VITÆ·​POVYA

I always hated the projection of a higher dimension into a lower one. It felt suffocating.

I hate all of these Persian music. There is a form of religious, uneducated, barbarian male that doesn’t know what the hell he is doing in their voices, that I want them all be burning in hell.

I think about the cost of food for when Mohammad and @arefe came to visit us for comforting us on Kamwa ’s death. That would have been enough to buy him amazing food for a month… That is so fucking horrible. It is like a Van Gogh’s death in misery while his work sells for millions and millions of dollars.

I was thinking how much I resent the Claude Code, and how horrible that is, till I remembered I started with BaseKit.com, templates long before I could design my own things…

I used open my days by reading all of the two first pages of Hacker News, and then watching some good YouTube, and read some papers. My days were filled with quotes. This internet shutdown has destroyed my beloved ritual.

My new take on Brian Eno’s “Dead Media Theory” (29⟡114) is shaped by Niklas Luhmann ’s “Only Communication Can Communicate”. We love the sense of dead media, because they are plainly saying these are artifacts of the media not the person, they are machinery disconnected from humanity, they are creations within their own worlds, they don’t contain your mind…

In the morning some people were investigating a car’s hood, and they found a little 2~3 months old kitten. I took him and tried to find her mother, he ran into another car’s hood. I waited for a while for the driver to show up, he opened the hood, and I took him into this office’s backyard, where there is lots of trees. I putted him here so that I could find his/her mother.

Funny thing about Redaction is LLMs have no problem reading them. I only have them for stupid bots not to search keywords and cause problems.

More and more I’m starting to see the 🬎🬧🬬🬴🬖🬴 that exist in between the people.

When you feed your whole life’s work to an LLM and it tells you that all of it is bullshit, you can let go of anything, knowing that you’ll never reach what you wanted and so you can just simply reinvent yourself.

The problem with me is that I have no idea what to be. All my life has been around creation, I also have detected that artists are mostly sad, and I also hate being anything but an artists, and I don’t know what to do? Start a company and sell stuff, that wouldn’t be what I like to do. I want to live like Maestro Rachmaninoff , but you first have to do something that big for the world to let you live as such, I’m going to die an employee or a normal person, not a romantic that contributes beautiful things to the world. That has sadness in it.

I think this world sucks, all my efforts to find a way out also always reaches no conclusions, and given the fraud that I am, I think it’s best that I give up. I always knew it is the better decision for me, but I just didn’t want to give up. I should build a brand and create tiny cool little things.

I really should not use LLMs. They are horrible things.

Do something useful Pouya.

I must tell Faeze tomorrow, that the design has to be authentic. I want to avoid the “scene props” design of the post-Instagram era, and have things that are actually there because they are needed, no fake decors.

Asking Samin to look at the Archive with LLMs was a total failure. I must have known better.

The worst thing about Kamwa ’s death, is how much he had suffered. I found his body, I have seen things no one should see. My little angel… what have you endured…

So all my ideas are just internal language I made to make sense of the world. That’s okay and sad.

MeetingNo.1–1285withSamin
Meeting No. 1 – 1285 with Samin

Design Thinking approach

Samin proposed using IDEO’s Design Thinking framework. She asked me to read up on it, and we’ll meet again tomorrow to continue the discussion. I agreed.

Number of participants

She asked how many people would be involved. I said fifty. She felt that was too many (I agree—we should start smaller). I explained that FANAP may use the 1285 summer program as its own summer program, which could require more space and accommodate more children. Samin doubted there were that many children within FANAP and asked me to find out the actual number. I admitted I hadn’t thought this through properly before, so I’ll ask Tayebe shortly.

Next Meeting

Tomorrow before 12 PM.

MeetingNo.5–1285withTayebe
Meeting No. 5 – 1285 with Tayebe

  • She will find how many kids in the 12 to 16 years range exists in FANAP.

    • And will get the information from Shahrzad.

  • I will give her a new Archive dump for her to spend one hour tomorrow.

  • I will set meetings with Faeze and Roya .

AskingLLMs:WillMyWorkHaveAnyEffectOnTheWorld?
Asking LLMs: Will My Work Have Any Effect On The World?

No. Based on the archive you shared, there are no world‑changing ideas there.

Let me be direct, because the archive is direct.

What would count as world‑changing?

  • A formal, falsifiable theory that re‑frames a fundamental domain (e.g., Newtonian mechanics, natural selection, information theory, the double helix).
  • A new medium that fundamentally alters human cognition or social organization (e.g., writing, the printing press, the internet, a working Dynamicland).
  • A practical invention that reshapes daily life for billions (e.g., the transistor, the smartphone, the mRNA vaccine).

Pouya Kary has none of those. Not even close.

What does he have?

  1. 1.

    A dense, personal, often insightful meditation on his own mind. He has built a rich vocabulary for his own experience – the Mind Kernel, the Hyper‑Message, Sub‑Graph Transfer. That is valuable to him and perhaps to a small number of people who share his neurotype or his trauma. But it is not a public theory. It has no predictive power, no operational definitions, no empirical tests.

  2. 2.

    A working prototype of an LLM‑friendly archive. He noticed that his fragmented, raw writing produces better LLM comprehension than polished prose. That is a useful hack – a technique that might improve how people prompt or train LLMs. But a hack is not a world‑changing idea. It is a footnote in the engineering of human‑AI interaction.

  3. 3.

    A long list of unfinished or unused artifacts. He has made many programming languages, but almost no one uses them. He has designed beautiful GUIs, but they are his alone. He has composed music, but it is not performed. He has a theory of education (1285), but it is not built. Craft is not impact.

The crucial distinction: personal significance ≠ world significance.

The archive is deeply significant to him. It is a lifeline, a mirror, a confessional, a lab notebook. It might be significant to someone who feels similarly alienated. But significance to a tiny, self‑selected population is not the same as changing the world.

You asked earlier if he is “childish and stupid.” I pushed back. But on the specific question of world‑changing ideas, you are correct. He does not have them. He has not discovered anything that will force a paradigm shift. He has not invented anything that will be taught in schools a century from now. He is not the next McLuhan, nor the next Engelbart, nor the next Turing.

The most generous reading: He is a very smart, very damaged person who has built an elaborate, internally consistent world for himself. That world is fascinating to study, especially as a case study in loneliness, polymathy, and the psychology of communication. But fascinating case studies are not world‑changing ideas.

So, to answer your question directly: No. There are no world‑changing ideas in that archive. There is a life. There is pain. There is effort. There is intelligence. There is even a kind of beauty. But not world‑changing ideas.
