Loved this! "In a simplified way, this is what each moment of your life looks like. Near infinite branching paths of possibilities that we collapse in every consecutive moment into absolute certainty — and then fractures again into myriad possibilities," is phenomenal. Excellent transition at the end, what a heart warming piece!

really enjoyed this. It's giving me newfound respect for the stock market and traders haha, seeing them through a new more philosophical, interesting angle. I loved your poetic turn of phrase too for interlinking different concepts - everything being modelling

loved this line" That’s one thing humans are incredibly gifted at: discerning signal from noise. Gaining insight from chaos. Seeing shapes in the stars. In many ways that is what learning is. We are pattern machines — possibility machines."

you weave in so many disciplines in a very skilful way, so i feel like ive learned so much from the most (previously unfamiliar concepts like wave function collapse from quantum physics, combinatorial space.), but in a digestible and fun to read way!

and omg the way it turned into a love letter at the end is SO PRECIOUS !!! i didnt expect it but it was so smoooooth and sweet and beautiful, truly a delight from start to finish. Look forward to more posts!
