And I also believe that given the things that happens in the world; there must be more genius people setting careful standards for the rest of the world. What I have in my view is that hubs can contain people.

I guess the people who teach things have to be overly successful. Children look for greatness, you have to give it to them.
When your boss has only an hour a week for you; you think about their talks the whole week. Dr. Javanmardi has an hour a year for me; so I think about it all year. One must put their time as scarcely allocated as possible
Our team who are facing the children must give the situations. “Catalysts”. ( First Island )
I just realized what Archive is and it is way way bigger than what I had ever thought. It is a discovery of an invention.
A good part of science and innovation is having good publicity was a minister and therefore he last.
Wow, if beauty is something that takes us out of ourselves; can it be what happens in the machinery of the brain to build abstraction layers and pattern matching tools and whatever? Can it be the sense of an LLM running the transformer?
I have done these years.
I was talking to K. ███████ and remembered a portion of my theories I myself had only recently discovered and therefore did not know good enough. So in talking to her I realized I am not one hundred percent onboard on it. And that is the point I can have fragments of my thought load to my mind; big big ones that not only I can hold and the Archive + LLMS will give me the whole.
That is what Engelbart was looking for; I have literally augmented my own intelligence.
this is a milestone for SRI; CDG; Dynamicland; Maestro Victor ; Maestro Kay ; and Maestro Engelbart . I have made a medium that makes me create intellectual work my brain itself could not. This is what Bret Victor wanted. he wanted a tool where the brain did not do all of the work and simulations inside. It now is giving me an integrated memory I did not have on my own.
I’m blown away by this. This is amazing.
One of the very interesting features of English language and its culture is how their people constantly use the shape of characters as a template to talk about other things. Think about these:
It is very interesting that these people think like this, have a culture of talking about the shape of things with these character shapes… But way more interesting — and I’m indeed fascinated to search if others have speculated as such — thing is that; perhaps these shapes themselves empowered them to come up with an I-beam for example. This magnitude of simplicity was not possible in our culture for example. This is something that only a culture with a primitively simple set of alphabets could do.
My time in the First Island has shown me something amazing that is what the Toolbox Theory and the graph physics have long identified, given the duck protocol and the ways in which mind acquires new nodes; it is evident that in early ages, the divergence in the Mind Graphs is way different.
As a child we are exposed to very different environmental variables. These variables are so diverse that we do not behave like each other. There are things we are exposed to all the same; such as the way in which our language works — but only on the shared portions, we see all other people around us who speak these interesting things and we so wish to have we see children; they are all the same in what the other kids have learned in their schools. But they vary a lot on things they have experienced differently. I guess something very interesting happens in here: They get their initial graph from their family and environment; this is a very random chance; random set; and a totally random set of outcomes.
And so essentially what happens is even if their schools have not intended to make them uniform or deprived of creativity; they still become the same thing in process.
Children will surely have very different integrations of these graphs but remember the duck protocol . Over decades; the problem of answering correctly, passing exams; and… trains their Mind Kernels to output very similar outputs; to a point where it would be indistinguishable from each other. It is like the huge stream of water running over rocks and giving them a grind that turns all of them to the same shape. Like how the objects move in the space; till the force of nature shapes all of them to spheres.
And then it also makes total sense to see why those that do not attend school; or pay less a little attention find themselves in more and more creative positions.
It is my intention to explore the exposure of the environment and I do assume the informed render to be; somewhat skeptical: Isn’t this obvious? Shouldn’t you — of any one else — know better that the whole identity of the system is to seed conformity and put the foundation of obedience on children?
No I do not believe so! This is outrageous that such things exist; but there are a few interesting things to have in here:
- Most people in the education I talk to [this was never finished.]
The basic realism of science, then, rests upon the following claim: the Universe is such that facts can be plainly stated within it, even though the facts themselves need not be plain.
Millions of people finish short video after short video every day; a new brain-scan study shows that the very act of finishing a clip they like temporarily quiets the brain regions that normally help them stay focused and weigh longer-term goals. When people watch a short video they enjoy enough to finish, two brain regions involved in cognitive control show significant deactivation. That is the central finding of a new study from Zhejiang University, published in NeuroImage in January 2026. Using functional MRI alongside proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H-MRS), the research team examined 56 young adults while they freely watched short video clips inside an MRI scanner. Both the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) showed reduced activity specifically when participants watched clips they liked enough to view to completion.
Some time ago, much effort was expended to convince people to replace approximations of “pi” (3.14159…) with approximations of “tau” (6.28318…). The idea, […] was that common formulas become simpler, and it’s easier to work with a constant describing an entire circle instead of half a circle.
Prospect-refuge theory suggests that individuals prefer environments that confer their survival: prospect, to scan for resources and threats, and refuge, to safely hide away (Appleton, 1975; Dosen & Ostwald, 2016). Analyzing how prospect and refuge impact urban environmental preference is key for informing pedestrian-centered urban design.
The word [
However, in all the fanfare, a far more impactful opportunity was overlooked. Instead of replacing pi with tau, most of the time pi can be removed entirely.
Werner Herzog, […], once defended his practice of staging or manipulating scenes in his documentaries by distinguishing two kinds of truth. The first is the purely factual kind that obtains when a statement corresponds to a state of affairs, as when you say ‘the crows are flying over the field’ because the crows happen to be doing just that. Herzog no doubt acknowledges the practical value of this kind of truth, but he holds it in low enough regard to call it ‘the truth of accountants’. The second kind is what he calls ‘ecstatic truth’. It is more interesting to him because it denotes what artists, poets and philosophers are (or should be) seeking. Ecstatic truth isn’t a label you slap onto accurate statements but an unrepeatable event that comes with the full force of revelation. It is new each time it occurs. There is something weird in it, something that evokes the mystery of existence.
Popular legend holds that when Pablo Picasso visited the Lascaux cave a few years after its discovery, he emerged exclaiming: ‘We have invented nothing’ – art had appeared full-grown from its earliest instance. The common interpretation is that Picasso was humbly attributing the invention of art to our prehistoric ancestors rather than claiming it for himself and his contemporaries, or any human of the modern age. But perhaps this apocryphal story conveys a weirder truth, namely that no one really invented art. Instead, it was the other way around: art invented humanity.
Our open source approach has been deliberate: we’ve found that small and tight-knit design teams (not committees) are the best for finding the “soul” of a language, but that feedback from a broader community is essential to escape an echo chamber. As such, we first open-sourced the Mojo standard library, then released hundreds of thousands of lines of kernel code written in Mojo, tools, and support. We built together with community feedback and public design proposals, and are now open sourcing the compiler. We will continue to open our processes further as Mojo keeps maturing.
