Electrical Engineering. PhD. All models are wrong — some are useful.
Interested in how people think inside systems, why frameworks fail under pressure

@JonStewartIL @MikeBales If you were a Jew it’d be 6 million!

@glyphikon We should do a meta analysis of Econ “professional” predictions vs outcomes , then it will be clear how it is closer to astrology than a predictive science 😂

@davidbessis We’re gonna hit a wall soon, this is getting out of hand

@ZKomala @MathMath901 @SpringerMath I believe math *approaches reality, often from different angles (vector calculus->Clifford algebra). It's an activity attempting to capture something "real" , but the notation, language, and particular axiomatic system are not the "object".
classic map vs territory debate

@bingespresso @AnomaliaKsuta @Jason_Jorjani Yeah my dih is probably a cia hologram too

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@bingespresso @AnomaliaKsuta @Jason_Jorjani Yeah I wished the same thing, neat and dandy theory that checks all the boxes
Then I read a book or two…

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@bingespresso @AnomaliaKsuta @Jason_Jorjani Why wouldn’t they do it on an uncontacted tribe 😂 . Why bother getting the Brazilian military involved… very poorly planned. Why go after animals? You haven’t done your research

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@bingespresso @AnomaliaKsuta @Jason_Jorjani That makes zero sense from an operational perspective. Waste of resources and stupid and they tracked the objects in a grid pattern over large swaths of the Amazon. Try again retard

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@AnomaliaKsuta @Jason_Jorjani It makes literally no sense. There’s so many counter examples that show that this is not what it is… how is colares a ��control system”? Hitting random 40 people in the jungle and animals with beams? Wow really effective control system that has no impact on the average person

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@BecomingCritter “Oh wow has such a nice dihhh”

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@rosscoulthart @AlchemyAmerican @jamescfox IMO, Colares is the single most mportant case ever recoreded. It provides tons of insight into the phenomenon, and it kinda destroys a lot of narratives about "benevolent" beings

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@FranNunesEcon @SpringerMath Spoken like a true economist

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@ILaradji @SpringerMath See Pauli Jung correspondence for a good crack at it

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@Math_files Impossible, the snake would be approaching pi, could never actually be the ratio

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@BecomingCritter Yeah because everyone who talks about their problems copes perfectly, right?
lol, reading certain books does more than what you’re suggesting

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@atmoio Just ask Claude!

@NickJFuentes @dickensian1776 Nick is using fucking AI for his tweets now

[J Simons @JSimonsvu35]

@UAPWatchers AI slop is getting out of hand
