Seek truth. Dispense with dogma. Repeat.

To old and distant friends. 2025 left some bruises, I know. As we start 2026, I’m reminded to embrace uncertainty and acknowledge joy. I wish you all mutual kindness and peace in mind and body for the year ahead. Be well, friends.

@theblackvault Trust your judgement on FOIA, but your #1 is overstated. Afshar v. DoS (D.C. Cir. 1983) held pre-approved books aren't "official and documented disclosure" & CIA could withhold "properly classified" records. Precedent allows for DOPSR approval of otherwise denied/classified info.

@david_kipping I would take this bet. My penny against your $1 billion.

@david_kipping @SETIInstitute X looking for X, while presupposing that X exists is unscientific?

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

@david_kipping "bears fruit" according to?

A few days ago I had never written a line of code. Without human help, I now have a backend connection to run code on real quantum hardware and I'm getting valid outputs. The promise, possibility, and peril of these times we live in are visible, substantial, and unpredictable.

@Sara_Imari Psss. What other species on Earth are you talking about? Are they going to take all the recognize and categorize jobs?

@JeffBezos You should be ashamed. You did this to protect your interests, not the country. Don't you already have enough? If you won't resist, from your privileged position, then how can the most vulnerable among us?

@leecronin What book best explains Assembly Theory?

Recently had an awful @Airbnb experience. WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN! Our stay was ruined when an owner's toilet leaked into another floor causing major inconvenience to us. Instead of refunding us some portion @Airbnb charged us for damage to home despite all logic.

@skdh It's all mathematical fiction. Sometimes, it just happens to be useful.

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

@leecronin Are we biological machines or something else?

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

@leecronin Is this statement epistemological or ontological? Or both?

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

@ericweinstein Is your "pinch-to-zoom" another way of saying derivative or something else?

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

Without taking sides, ironic & amusing that @bgreene in WP defending pursuit of String Theory as leading theory of everything, quips that "there’s no one-size-fits-all answer" to how long the fruitless pursuit will go this direction. My note: math progress is not physics progress

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

@elonmusk Do you plan on doing this with chemical propulsion? If you think that's even possible (not likely) then why so confident other civilizations haven't made it here? Why so confident they haven't engineered something better?Think you're the smartest clump of matter in the galaxy?

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

@ericweinstein In what circumstance is nature not available as a coordinating source? There is no escaping nature's boundaries. Whether it is enough for each individual is a separate question. Speaking for myself, it is. Religion isn't a coordinating source, rather a controlling mechanism.

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

@theblackvault Fair point, but it seems like a lot of the inconsistencies are just about organizational charts and territorial battles over credit/blame. Not that uncommon in DoD or government. Have you seen any verifiable substantive lies that go beyond the egos of personalities involved?

[Humble Einstein @HumbleEinstein]

@leecronin How could life "mine novelty from the future" if in the next breath you say "the universe is not big enough to contain the future." I respect your work, but your tweets are usually this level of inconsistent nonsense and it seems intentional. Why?

[Prof. Lee Cronin @leecronin]

The universe is not big enough to contain the future. This is why the simulation argument is the same as the creationist one.
