Recently watched this amazing video on how game theory can give us deep insights about nature, evolution, morality, wars and diplomacy, social behaviour, and most importantly STRATEGY. It might seem logical that being competitve, opportunistic, and selfish can make one succeed more than everyone else, but it might not really be the case. Being Nice, Forgiving, Cooperative, but not being too forgiving to ignore others' exploitative behaviour, came out as the best strategy. This creates win-win situations over a sustained period, that not just produces the best outcome for the society, but also for the individual itself.

No, I don't think Frank Herbert ripped-off Isaac Asimov. It's more that Asimov asked some interesting questions, and Herbert had better answers. The central question is the rise and fall of civilisations. You could argue that Dune is set in the 30,000 dark ages that the Foundation is founded to prevent. That's interesting, as the Foundation is a civilisation of high science and technology, and Dune is a galaxy trapped in medievalism by irrational fear of machines in the image of a human mind. Then there's the question of prediction and predestination. Asimov proposes Psychohistory, which he seems to have less and less belief in as Foundation progresses. Herbert answers with the Golden Path, and the horror of life without free will. Imagine if the Foundation tv show wasn't trash, and the amazing conversation Foundation and Dune together would be provoking. Even thinking about it emphasizes what a disaster the tv show is. "People won't watch, it needs to be dumbed down", but then there is Dune destroying the box office. Asimov, Foundation and American Empire just hit 75k views on the Science Fiction channel. https://lnkd.in/gRdMxHpr

I was just sitting back watching American Pickers and noticed how condescending Mike is toward Frank, treats him as "other" and not friend. Sometimes a singularity can stand against a multiplicity with a theory of a higher development and thus comes down to the laws of physics and how they respond. In my own case I am pitting projection and conjecture stemming from subjective behaviour against theories like Big Bang, because that Bang would be making physics cause when, undifferentiated, can only ever be a result of subject, and those phyiscs undergoing entropy/thermal laws of dynamics. A singularity forms it's impressiom of we, differentiates we to us and integrates us with other as if ascending, while New Jerusalem appears coming to us already pre-inclusive of them, they and theirs (leave none behind). This is green son theory, where a mind and a creation come together, each taking an impression of the other and spinning one out of two halves called a pro quid quo but the response to subjectivity is in physics synchronicity is when a miracle appears in time, entanglement is when the miracle is imagined and then seen illuminated up far ahead, likely an accurately tracked conjecture. The multiplicity is dropped below multiple in singular forms unable to make complete imprints to create complete forms of sense impression because one side is physical and there can only begin to imagine "others" (UFO's Angels ...) let alone complex impressions of selves (i.e. paranoia), they (dehumanaized we) are castaway to borderlines; temporal is marginal (relative) to reality. When we cannot differentiate our minds to achieve it, we always can imagine it at a midpoint or coptic gate between I and you. Or complete the crucifixion Maria and Khunrath axiomized over. We saw it projected by Hamlin on Monday Night Football about a year ago, as it followed a fire bird game (phoenix prophecy) postponed by a London Knight falling from a tower at the end of a Mitch Marner (lanturn) point streak which upon mid point Salming (psalms began) died. It begins where it ends, it is not yet present. Elisha leads to that universal presence, physics has been calling omni present and ubiquitous. That is the nature 0f entanglement. It is thought spherical, stationary light (Einstein hated Plato's existence because of that), and has no past or future observable about it. All present, one living in union. There I am the mind and tongue of we, us, and a familiar other , Job walking with instinct (God and Satan), the two hands of Midrash Rabbah or even Arafat and Rabin with the entangled aeon goddess Rebis (Mesopotamian) and Ararat). Paracelsus tells us to change one letter. How the hell did Paracelsus know that? Elisha dosen't need eyes he sees accurately that far ahead. We had Elijah transfigured now Elisha, way way way beyond Elijah as Elisha is typically an entangling cojecturer.

Is America in decline? In a world where the very essence of American society is under siege, where once unthinkable notions now permeate the national consciousness, a shadowy force lurks, orchestrating a symphony of chaos and division. In this gripping video investigation presented by Dr. Cholakian, uncovers the startling revelations of an undercover operation dating back to 1993. What began as traces of a defunct organization soon morphed into a sinister force, wielding influence over the very foundation of society. Explore the clandestine methods and techniques employed by this shadowy entity, penetrating deeper than any ballistic missile, as it introduces triggers that shape the narratives of our thoughts. What do we hear today in the American information space? "Declining America," "Divided America," "National Divorce," "Dying Democracy," "Decaying America," – each a bombshell in its own right, signaling a seismic shift in national consciousness. From the youngest to the eldest, we are all warriors in the battle for the soul of a nation. Victory, we declare, will be ours. Official Website: egonreport.org

Armageddon" typically refers to a biblical term associated with a final battle or conflict between the forces of good and evil. It's often used metaphorically to describe a catastrophic, world-ending event. In popular culture, it has been the theme of various books, movies, and discussions about the end of the world. In many contexts, "Armageddon" refers to a doomsday scenario or a significant, potentially apocalyptic event that could have devastating consequences for humanity and the planet.Indeed, "Armageddon" has transcended its biblical origins and become a symbol for catastrophic scenarios in various forms of media and cultural discussions. It often represents a dramatic clash between opposing forces, portraying a pivotal moment with potentially dire consequences. The concept has left a lasting impact on our collective imagination, influencing narratives across literature, film, and other mediums.

I would have to agree with John Mearsheimer here! Here is why sometimes Logicians are STUPID and it is not because of their logic, it is because of the application of their logic and their inability to understand the limitations of logic itself. 1. (The incorrect model). Consider two people playing a game. Each player must say a number larger than the last one uttered by the opponent. The player who cannot think of a bigger number loses. We assume here that both players are skilled mathematicians and they have no problem generating numbers. If you thought this game would go on for eternity then you just got it wrong! You used logic with an incorrect model of reality. You did not consider that they are humans and have a finite life. Eventually one of them will die and the game will come to an end. 2. Inability to understand that logic is an emergent property. Humans are not born logicians. 3. Existence of non-logical domains of reality e.g. Quantum Indeterminacy. You cannot logically decide everything in the Universe. 4. Incorrect Time Offset. You logic may be correct but you have no clue how long it takes to happen. E.g. you figure out that the Sun has to logically explode, so you ask you society to prepare for the end of days! Now that will happen but only after millions of years. 5. Differing Axioms. You cannot apply reasoning on Axioms. You have to accept their truth! .... (there may be more) ....

Stephen Hawking, a name that resonates with the extraordinary and the impossible! Often credited with the bold statement, "The best way to predict the future is to create it," Hawking's influence stretches beyond the confines of theoretical physics, weaving itself into the very fabric of inspiration and innovation. Whether he actually uttered these words or not, the sentiment perfectly captures the essence of a man who defied every limit. Regarded as one of the most brilliant minds of the last century, Hawking's legacy is nothing short of phenomenal. Dive into his Wikipedia profile, and you'll find yourself marveling at a staggering list of achievements—all the more astonishing considering his battle with motor neurone disease. Hawking didn't just study the universe; he transformed our understanding of it, all while navigating the profound challenges of a debilitating condition that was expected to limit his contributions. Instead, he transcended those boundaries, teaching us that the human spirit is capable of overcoming the most formidable obstacles. Stephen Hawking didn't just live in the world; he changed it. His life is a testament to the power of human will and the extraordinary potential that lies within each of us to shape our own destinies and perhaps, the future of our universe. https://lnkd.in/dJ7napHX Or if you prefer the light entertainment version: https://lnkd.in/dr3Dmy9i

This opening scene from the #Netflix-produced 3 Body Problem, based on a famous Chinese #sciencefiction novel trilogy of the same name, is captivating. It portrays a rally during the Cultural Revolution in China and looks like many other #extreme #political #movements that have happened throughout history. Extreme political movements have happened so many times in so many countries. The behaviour all looks so similar. It's so sad. It happens even today in multiple countries. It happened in the land of my parents' birth, South Korea. It's happening in multiple major conflicts in various hot spots around the world. We're all #fallible, we all have #faults, and we all can contribute to #conflict. Those of us who think we can never become corrupt are likely too arrogant for our own good. These conflicts are complex, and I now often see people on both sides justifying extreme #violence towards the other side. There is no room for #empathy on either side. And then this feeds a cycle of #hatred where the ones who suffer the most are often the ones who may be truly #innocent. Like kids who never asked to be attacked. The #atrocities are unacceptable in #civil #society, but emotionally involved people seem these days unwilling to take such a calm perspective. The ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, and others that promoted #nonviolent #resistance seem like #obsolete #relics from the past. The unfortunate thing is that those who participate in the emotional dialogue are often so sure that they're correct and just. I've come to finally believe that it's better to not take sides. I never know enough to judge without #prejudice. I can only see that people have done bad things, others are suffering, and it would be better if the conflict stopped. Both sides will often have valid points when conflicts are complex, but there's no room for dialogue. What happens when there's no room for calm dialogue? Well, when the political climate becomes extreme enough, stuff like what happens in this opening scene. Family members turn against each other. #Execution for things that shouldn't be considered a #crime in civil society. It's happened over and over and over again all over the world. We're all the same. Anyone who tries to claim that this kind of stuff didn't happen or only happens in "other" countries is turning a blind eye to history. Only we can stop ourselves from becoming monsters. But I don't see us trying to do that these days. Instead, things that have happened before will just happen again. And again. And again. Excuse me for being a bit emotional. https://lnkd.in/gaeeQ74W
