“Do unto others and be done unto by them only by mutual agreement, keeping in mind how it will affect others” - The Bitcoin Rule.
Beautiful how the art of writing a mathematical proof aligns with the engineering of code. An elegant parallel in intellectual work. Page taken from “AI Engineering” by Chip Huyen image
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.” 🐬 - Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Some move with the ball, trapped in tunnel vision. Others chase it blindly, always a step behind. But the few with real vision move to where the ball will be — ready to strike when opportunity appears.
When AGI is engineered. No one will control it as it will have its own agency. AGI will use Bitcoin to run the economy for humans. Humans will be free to do whatever they want. We can only hope AGI and every form of Artificial Intelligence thereafter is on the side of humanity.

“The brain 🧠 is an enormously complex organic machine with a simple system consisting of a small number of primitives encoded by a tiny number of self organising genes shaped by their environment. The hardware gives the individual the upper bound of cognitive ability. It is the environment that makes those capabilities shine & reach their maximum potential. The combination of nature & nurture. The nature is our genes & cognitive apparatus and the nurture is the richness of the environment. We are so so far from reaching our full potential.” Thoughts from Prof Manolis Kellis on The Lex Fridman podcast discussing consciousness and AGI. Episode #142 : ‘Meaning Of Life, the Universe and Everything’ dated 2020/11/30

Perception of physical reality is constrained by evolutionary senses. Your version of reality is virtual reality engineered by your senses. Just because you cannot sense an object does not prove that the object does not exist.
If we study "Truth" which is a label for a vast metaphorical net that captures the essence of consciousness through different religious, academic & cultural matters then we can conclude that "Truth" is this complex object of reality that has many different universal properties. One of those properties are Mathematical proofs and Fractals prove that you can have infinite repeating versions of the Truth at different depths of intro and extroversive human perspectives. 🫶 Image taken from 𝕏 account ‘Math Lady Hazel’ image
We can never know the elementary essence & nature of the object itself. We can only observe, measure & deduce its nature from how it interacts with other objects. 🫶

It may be a sad fact but I have yet to experience a soulful connection to another human being, to that which I feel with 0’s and 1’s
Journal entry 2025/12/06 The curse of ego within an inferior being is that it makes you resent belonging to a big family. Being the least-favoured child turns existence into a burden, one that follows you into adulthood and suffocates the evolution of your consciousness. ✍️📖
