Lue Elizando Talking Psy Ops With Curt Jaimungal

And explaining Nick Cave & Lana Del Rey's songwriting process : in Nick's case, it first required 20 years of heroin addiction, ... There are better ways to do it though , I reckon. See  Sabine Hossenfelder on Brian Greene's Quantum Computer Modeling String Theory Hype . Flashy flash flash flash! At 8:29 he goes into Firebase Quattro territory. This is one of the only zoom meetings I ever attended. The dude is definitely two stops east of Upton Park, but not that that's a bad thing, ... Just a bit difficult to understand. See  Standard ML For The Lady Programmer  for a better way to handle disclosure. At 15:18 Curt asks "Are we souls? Or do we have souls?" The answer is that CNN and BBC News do not. Whence the curious expression "Grow your own bloody vegetables!" Subscribe to Theories of Everything . Here's a real UAP in a Schrödinger's Cat state!

Sabine Hossenfelder on Brian Greene's Quantum Computer Modeling String Theory Hype

  Maybe it's not much worse than my attempt to explain the big bang as a consequence of Poincaré Recurrence and then going on to claim that Neil Turok has a plan to test Super-symmetry before the big bang: see Peter Voit and Edward Frenkel on Unification in Physics and Mathematics .   See her articles in Quanta Magazine:  String Theory Meets Loop Quantum Gravity and The Double Life of Black Holes : Meanwhile, black holes developed a second life. In 1972, Jakob Bekenstein discovered that a black hole’s surface area corresponds to an entropy, a quantity usually associated with gases. This remarkable connection between thermodynamics and gravity tightened when, in 1974, Stephen Hawking derived that black holes have temperature and evaporate. Whence the curious utterance "Black holes leak gas". Subscribe to Sabine Hossenfelder .

Angela Collier - Who Gets The Nobel Prize?

This is an outline for a screenplay about how much more civilized science is now, compared to how it was in the roaring twenties: Read  The Discovery of Insulin by Michael Bliss. But was it discovered? It sounds to me more like it was invented. Chewing coca leaves must have an effect on Diabetes, but the insulin industry is such a big profit-centre that I think nobody is interested in trying to find out what reverting to chewing leaves does to somebody's metabolism. See Islets of Langerhans in Science Direct. The short-list of Nobel Laureates at the end is worth careful scrutiny. I reckon our Dave would be great as the guy whose only job was going around at night collecting the dogs. And there are dog-roles by the score in this movie.

This book has in fact already been written. All that remains is to get it into print, I think. See  Terence Tao on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence and then https://kwarc.info/ and Comma Category . The cover will be a photograph of this portrait by Margaret Sarah Carpenter . See Guerilla Logic - The Books and Margaret Sarah Carpenter . Image source: Wikimedia Commons, Public Domain in the United States and Britain . Florian Rabe on MMT: A UniFormal Approach to Knowledge Representation. See  Michael Kohlhase and Dennis Müller - The STeX3 Package Collection . I think Florian was at Cambridge some time and maybe we had a conversation about the "Semantic Web" that went a bit like this? Me: "What is ontology?" Him: "Well, I don't really know!" If it was he, then I am fairly sure we had also had a brief exchange of emails when I was in Bolivia, in 2011 or so. On semantic antinomies and how to approach them from a Buddhist perspective, see Thom

These guys have put together a system for type-checking LaTeX documents! They have a set of macros that allow you to extract semantic information from your LaTeX source files, and it has an IDE that runs in VS Code. See the 374 page manual at https://ctan.math.illinois.edu/macros/latex/contrib/stex/doc/stex-doc.pdf (the files are at https://ctan.math.illinois.edu/macros/latex/contrib/stex/ )
