I think you’re giving Terrance too much credit. He might have stumbled upon something useful (doubtful) but it was accidental, and not, I think, intentional on his part. Sadly, I can’t tell from your post what the deeper valid motive is.... I love this question and I don't know what to do with it. A jumble of thoughts: are the genuises in their own craft actually useful to the general public? Most physicists can't teach the basics really well, and the advanced physics aren't useful to most people. BUT JORDAN!... - dave...
Rationalist men were there, as were men who’d never heard of the Bayes theorem.
So good!
Upvoting: That was a super fun exercise! I love your 3 points as well. I felt a peace in me seeing this in mathematical form. Thanks a lot!

Hi Derek, I see it now! Nice color and detail... and symmetry. This may be a talent for you. One thing I studied was Fibonacci and the pattern it makes on leaves, and sunflowers. It might be nice to try it out.... Read the full post - Serpardum...
Nobody can prove anything. NOTHING can be proven.

Within 1-3 years, I suspect that it would make sense to use an AI rather than pay a human to do things like: program a computer think through maths or science problems And with less likliehood: be a therapist or coach who isn’t operating in the top 10% answer 90% of accounting... - onToday I was listening to Cinderella and thinking about Prince Charming as an unconscious archetype/rolemodel for young boys. There are lots of stories about how a girl becomes a princess and worthy queen, lots about how a ruffian boy becomes worthy of being a king.by
At least WE have a Lot of counter examples.
Hello
I'm hollering into the void to see if anyone is there. I'm an independent Psychological Anthropologist with a mathematics backer. I am a feral academic. :). My work is on interpersonal structures of power.... I recently had a conversation with an AI about microtonal music. In case you're wondering what that is, the normal western stuff is a scale separated by 12 tones between octaves.... i am still really confused what any of numbers mean. I basically ignore it and just focus on the content for now

This is probably a stretch, but the way that AI is starting to be used to understand and extend mathematics is interesting. Here is a mathematician who makes the point before the Royal Institute: https://youtu.be/oOYcPkBaotg?si=PuUl9Yr8a5QxBvoN If you saw the movie The Man Who...
