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!... 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... Second, I agree with Xander here—I haven’t watched the video or rebuttal so I’m only replying to what I’ve read here, but as far as I know, math as a subject—and good mathematicians throughout time—are already very well aware of the various paradoxes of logic, and for the most... - xander...
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.... Alex's non-profit: https://www.mathematicalmetaphysics.org/

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... Yeah I was also thinking about the Jhanas. Tommy in case you haven't heard of them, Brian talks a little about going to a reatreat here, but I think a lot of the techniques are specifically about cultivating these self-reinforcing loops of goodness.... - fra...
At some level I believe everything must be the same and it should be possible to map concepts and relations from one map to the other. Like category theory in math (not that I know it..). The idea of building bridges is also good.... I think for sure you’re going to "fuck up" your kids somehow. In the Foundation series there are these mathematicians who use a new kind of math to predict the future of large groups of people.... - renee...
