Very few things upset me as much as weak men gaining a little bit of power and abusing it, especially by manipulating and stifling young minds who have a pure joyful excitement & curiosity about exploring this beautiful world of ours.

I will forever defend those young minds.

Recent developments in AI are both exciting and terrifying, but mostly exciting. What gives me hope is that the people I know who are working in AI are great human beings. So, I remain optimistic but vigilant, trying to give voice to many perspectives through long-form podcasts.

The idea that time is an illusion breaks my brain.

There are many weird ideas in physics, but that one... that, as Einstein said, "distinction between past, present & future is an illusion" is just too weird.

The arrow of time seems fundamental to my cognition, but maybe not?

I got to attend the Comedy Mothership and see Joe Rogan and Dave Chapelle together on stage and off, dropping wisdom about comedy & life, in this epic new place. Hanging with them & Whitney, Duncan, Tony, Ron White & other amazing humans, I felt like the luckiest guy on Earth.

I'm back to playing video games, this time with a friend. RDR2 is one of the greatest games I've ever played. I might do more videos like this with friends and podcast guests. The banter made the gaming super fun. Please suggest video games (and guests). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6-TaGK_d4o
