This timeline comprises the thoughts I want to share with my sons. I want Matt & Dan to read and think about them. One wish I have is that they become better than me, so this timeline will provide them with a reference about me so they can build something better for their lives.

So people are asking Prof. Taleb to be neutral and polite in defending his beliefs. Impossible, neutrality is fragile; it is the kryptonite for risk takers. And for those who believe in neutrality, I will share my definition of it: I am the friend of the de*d, and partner of the ki**er.

@engineers_feed The cable in the picture is called a "widow maker". People with backup generators or during Christmas (hanging lights) know how tempting these unsafe cords are.

@nntaleb Indeed. Even though she was caught, being exposed by you for sure is the cherry on top of the cake. That time will come.

As an engineer, I see him having skin in the game with all his assets (money, reputation, and knowledge), and that is something I respect, regardless of any other good or bad qualities any of us may have. As Virgil wrote: "Audentes Fortuna iuvat", and I believe the Roman goddess Fortuna cherishes him.

@RampCapitalLLC That was the correct date in the 1.21 Gigawatts DeLorean.

Great point. Just thinking that a per day, per hour and a hybrid model would be interesting to try. For sure I will pay an hourly rate from 10 am to 4 pm and then the nightly rate as usual. (After a 14 hour fly from SYD to LA arriving at 7 am in LA my body demands some comfort that I will be more than happy to pay without "hotel crawl")

@engineers_feed "The Heart of the Ocean" should be near to the Titanic. And next Atlantis. Then will rescue some Sirens.

@nntaleb The program includes life insurance.

@nntaleb @tunguz I never had a pleasant conversation with a credentialist. They are so predictable and boring e.g. physicist, husband, ex this, ex that, owner of the soccer team and boyfriend of the cheer captain squad.

@nntaleb Ring of accomplices. Trust so necessary for a healthy civilization is getting weaker and weaker.

Today I had one of the most interesting conversations I ever had with Grok. I was discussing a model to handle the thermodynamics accounting in a hypothetical time travel.

It was fascinating to work ideas like: funneling excess entropy to a MWI branch (Everettian), the (imp)possible leakage between branches, the value of physical constants (higher Planck values!?), the branch geometry (non-euclidian -> fractalizing caos), black holes Evaporation Anomalies, entropy debt, evidence as cosmic scars or flickering voids in space, etc.

Grok even suggested a name: Entropy Exile. I just loved the name.

Grok ended with: "The beauty here? In an infinite setup, this doesn't strain resources—it's just partitioning the wavefunction into "useful" (standard physics) and "utility" (debt-absorbing weirdos) sectors. However, quantum backreaction might still limit how often you can force such exotic branches without destabilizing the parent multiverse."

Time to rest, tomorrow will resume the conversation with a critical topic: time itself.

@nntaleb This kind of things makes me wonder why nature after 4.8 billion years allows the existence of idiots.

@nntaleb Ignorants are comparing apples with bicycles. I declare myself a Christian anti-flat-earthers.

@george__mack A change of variable. Interesting.

@nntaleb Oh!, The Art of the Deal is missing. Strange. Suspicious. The list is a hoax.

@MoZarrinsadaf The increase of entropy requires more information to explain the state of the system. So creativiry and entropy are related?

@drgarymcgowan @nntaleb It seems more like a picture from a bookshelf catalog of an obsessive-compulsive boutique carpenter than a personal library. Anyway, beautiful bookshelf, but really funny to see books sorted by size and color.
