I didn't cast FIK-SHUN in our vr game, OPTIMUM (Meta Quest 3), because he has 17 million followers across all socials. I cast him because he's a real life super hero. The vision is REAL. That's not fiction. That's FIK-SHUN. ~⚔️Gary, Indie Dev, OPTIMUM

Seems pertinent in light of MidJourney's FUCT Scanner announcement today. I say that Optimum has the most predictive model for innovation, and all other tasks, because it's true. ~G
OPTIMUM HEALTH. A 2030 vision built around regular, low cost, preventative full body scanning to track changes throughout the body (internal & external) BEFORE they become a problem. ~Gary @ Optimum
I'm a legit one-off... there has never been anyone in human history like me. You too, but the difference between us is you haven't awakened to that fact yet.

@AltCulture I unified physics, independently developed the first classic fighting game for VR, designed sports equipment used by NFL super bowl champion teams, and founded a revolutionary academic institute.
Cool, or nah?

@Dr_Singularity Not this one. Each cell has its own clock. Stopping aging requires reclocking each cell, individually.
Mind uploading is more feasible.

Sometimes it feels like everything is a scam, and no one says what they mean anymore. But there are others who still mean what they say, who mean well, and who have real beliefs that they stand behind. You are not alone! ~Gary Lee, Founder, Optimum College
People walk around with an invisible permission structure in their head. They're waiting for someone to let them do the thing. They want a credential, a green light, an authority figure to nod.
High-agency people have basically deleted this software. They simply ask "is this possible?" not "is this permitted?"
It turns out a staggering amount of what we think is forbidden is just... unattempted.
Life becomes 100x more enjoyable when you start playing it like a video game. You have free will. You can literally do anything you want. Go anywhere. Build anything. Become anyone. The only rules that are stopping you are the ones you inherited from people who also felt stuck. Drop them. Step into the game with wild self belief and borderline greedy ambition. Dream so big it feels irresponsible. The life you always wanted is not out of reach. You just finally have to decide to go collect it.
@jrysana Libertarianism breaks down when you realize there are people rich enough to buy countries now... and if they did, then what? By Libertarian logic they can just liquidate the inhabitants for trespassing, or what?

Our generation is the most consequential in past, present & future humanity. We are the stone as it hits the water and ripples for eternity. So few understand this. ~Gary @OptimumCollege
The universe is at least 13.8 billion years old and we've had electricity for ~150. We are still at the very beginning of the beginning.
The first sparks of intelligence are just starting to spread beyond biology. The first machines that can reason, create, design, code, discover, and accelerate progress are only now appearing.
Energy tech, intelligence, medicine, robotics, space industry, materials, longevity, virtual worlds, brain interfaces, almost everything is still in its infancy.
But now we are accelerating with the greatest accelerator humanity has ever created: AI.
This is not normal technological progress anymore. By the end of the 2030s, we may not just be living in a slightly better world.
We will be living in a world that feels almost alien (but ultra amazing) compared to today.
We will see more progress and change in the next 5-10 years than during previous 2000 years.
you're not allowed to use AI to make animated films you need to render every frame like Pixar no wait letting a computer render it is cheating you need to paint the cels digitally by hand no wait digital is cheating you need to ink and paint real celluloid cels one sheet at a time no wait celluloid is a factory product you need to draw every single frame on plain paper by hand no wait flat drawings only fake depth you need to sculpt real figures out of clay and move them by hand one frame at a time no wait the camera shooting your puppets is doing the work you need to riffle a flipbook with your thumb no wait printed pages are mass-produced you need to load your own drawings into a zoetrope and spin it by hand no wait you need a phenakistoscope spun in front of a mirror no wait even spinning a disc is mechanical you need to project hand-painted glass slides through a magic lantern with you swapping out the slides by hand no wait glass and lamplight are still technology you need to perform live shadow puppets behind a firelit screen no wait the screen is produced from textile mills you need to paint a charging bison with extra legs on a cave wall so it looks like it gallops in the flicker of the torchlight no wait fire is technology you need to do it with your bare hands in the dark no wait... every one of those technologies was built on the one before it the cave painter who figured out how to fake motion taught the shadow puppeteer who taught the lantern maker who taught the hand that spun the zoetrope who taught the flipbook maker who taught the stop motion model maker who taught the one who drew on paper who taught the cel painter who taught the digital artist who taught the 3D renderer and every frame all of them ever made is exactly what the AI learned to see motion from so it doesn't erase a single one of them it is made of all of them
