I make art, philosophise, tell stories and design systems. I study the embodiment of consciousness, the aesthetic experience, the phenomenology of belief.

You “empower” people by telling them the truth.

In order to find truth, you must want it more than you want to be right.

Using a tracking mount, aligned with North Star, he kept clicking images every 12 seconds for the next 3 hours.
The camera is looking at the same portion of the Milky Way

Fab!

Dijkstra explains in one sentence why all safety reasoning must rely strongly on theory and not just practice: "Program testing can be a very effective way to show the presence of bugs, but is hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence."

The Galton board: 3000 steel balls fall through 12 levels of branching paths and end up matching a bell curve distribution. Each ball has a 50% chance of following each branch such that the balls are distributed by the mathematical binomial distribution https://t.co/Lct4yUi904

Reading is not a chore.

Reading is theft. It is a robbery.

Someone smarter than you has spent 20 years beating their head against the wall trying to solve the problem you're dealing with.

You can steal that hard won knowledge and make it yours.

That is power.

Can't think of a better reason to be extra kind, stoic, and peaceful as I go through my life.
