Love without understanding is just affection aimed at a stranger. You can call someone beautiful every day and still not know what keeps them up at night. You can hold them close and still have no idea what's going on behind their eyes when they go quiet.
That's the part we don't talk about enough. We chase love like it's the whole answer, like once we have it, everything else falls into place. But love can sit right beside you and still not really see you. It can say your name a thousand times and still not know what your name means to you.
I don't want to be someone's favorite stranger. I don't want affection that never goes deeper than the surface, even if that surface feels warm. I want to be known in the small ways…the things I don't say out loud, the moods I can't explain, the parts of me that take longer to notice.
Because anyone can love an idea of a person. It's a different thing entirely to love the truth of them, the whole of them, even the parts that don't make for a good story. Until then, it's just affection…aimed at someone who happens to be standing close, but still, somehow, a stranger.
@elonmusk Before that can happen, we must collectively raise our consciousness and let go of old and outdated hierarchical ruling systems. There's no use in inhabiting other planets if we bring all that which is problematic with us.
Sam Altman said the smartest scientists in AI are the ones who held the entire field back. The experts were the problem.
This is one of the most uncomfortable things he said all night.
Altman said the field was honestly held back by a generation of scientists who were too certain about what scaling would not produce. The people with the most credibility were the most wrong.
Then he explained why.
It was not about intelligence. It was about identity.
He said when you make your identity about a particular belief, that something will work or won't work, and then the data disproves you, you get stuck. You are too attached to the belief to let it go. You cannot see the truth anymore.
The smarter you are, the more confidently you defend the wrong position.
He pointed at the trolls who spent years saying scaling was a dead end, a fraud, a company destined to fail. The data kept proving them wrong. They kept repeating themselves anyway.
He called that a form of insanity.
Then he turned it around. He said it is a reminder in both directions. Including for the people who are currently right.
The lesson is not that experts are dumb.
It is that the moment a belief becomes who you are, it stops being something you can update.

..the difficulty with the human form is we have such a lot of enmeshed filtrations on our perception of dos, don'ts,. We're literally enamored with a programmed system like an operating system of perception.
