It is simple. In the old world your money loses value, because governments debase currencies to fund their warfare & welfare state. In the new world #bitcoin increases in value, because math caps the monetary base at 21M BTC. The new world is eating the old world right now.
So, the forecasters expect too little of us, and the planners expect too much. Neumann cleverly threads the needle between cynicism & utopia. He reminds us: Survival doesn't demand predictive perfectionโonly adaptive resilience. Patience, flexib, & intel remain our finest algo.
The Fabulous Future was a collection of essays published by Fortune Magazine in 1956 in which John von Neumann contributed his essay Can we survive technology?. But first, here is how the Introduction starts:...
Kudos to Team USA! ..๐บ๐ธ

I have been experiencing bleeding pain in the last 28 hours:
Brazil ๐ง๐ท & USA out
You believed. You filled stadiums. You brought the game into homes and communities across the country.
Most of all, you showed everyone what this crest means. Thank you.
Huge congratulations to Norway. They controlled the tempo, successfully weathered Brazil's quick counterattacks, and relied on Haaland to provide the goals.

AMERICA'S 250 YEARS
โ๐บ๐ธ US Navy Blue Angels flying over the Statue of Liberty today, marking 250 years of the American democratic experiment. It is a radical conceptโanalogous to a courageous toddler walking alone across an architecturally complex bridge into the unknown.
It's a brilliant observation. Jeffersonโs use of "self-evident truths" as axioms creates an elegant geometric proof for liberty. It shows how Enlightenment thinkers used mathematical structuralism to build their political philosophyโmath shaped modern democracy's architecture! ๐
Happy Independence Day US! There's plenty of mathematics in your Declaration. Thomas Jefferson deliberately used a Euclidean "axiom-and-proof" framework for it: the document begins with self-evident truths (axioms) and builds to a logical conclusion. You will find plenty of articles on this, but it's just as well to enjoy the original spring of ideas here https://t.co/Lk9My6lbGX
Team Italy ๐ฎ๐น should have taken that in consideration during its WC 2026 qualifying campaign.
That said, Congratulations to your Dad ๐ ๐ ๐ and Conratulations to America ๐บ๐ธ (4th of July) - 250 years of its democracy ๐ ๐ ๐
There's a lot more on this but for the moment, let's just finish with Wiener's quote: "The history of the modern computing machine goes back to Leibniz and Pascal. Indeed, the general idea of a computing machine is nothing but a mechanisation of Leibniz's 'calculus ratiocinator'" [1948]. 4/4
Russia repeatedly targets and bombs Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure and has done so for more than four years.
Where are the university and street protests?
Why does the UN not condemn them?
Where are the calls for a free Ukraine?
Why are there no Queers for Ukraine?
Yesterday it was Canada, and today it's Brazil. A very late game-winning goal earns the team a place in the round of 16.
Once again, just as it did for South Africa yesterday, my heart goes out to the team knocked out -- Japan.
Itโs so heartbreaking to see an underdog play with that much heart and still get sent home!

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldnโt promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

The behavioral contradictions you highlight perfectly mirror a social manifestation of Russellโs Paradox-sets of individuals utterly blind to their own inclusion in the exact categories they condemn. Axiomatic logic is not an educational preference-it filters algorithmic noise.
It's a strange time we are living in - people who are dividing talking about the 'other' side doing it, and those who make videos of themselves ad-nauseam talking about theoretical 'narcissists'. Bring back logic into mathematics education! But not via the internet...
