“You need Science to get a sense of the real romance of life and the great experience of being awake in the cosmos. The fact that we know so little, the humbling nature of that is scary & inspiring. Why is it so beautiful that we know so little? Socrates thought, knowing that you know little is really knowing something. It’s that voice whispering in our heads, ‘you know, you might be wrong’. The beauty of Science aligns with that of Love. A feeling that you always want to go deeper, get closer but you’re never satisfied. You can't get close enough or deep enough. Science is never simply content with its understanding of any aspect of nature. It's always saying, it's always finding that even smaller cosmos beneath.” Inspiring thoughts from Ann Druyan on The Lex Fridman podcast
“What is the role of science in our society? Einstein said when he opened the 1939 New York World's Fair that if science is ever to fulfill its mission the way art has done, its inner meaning must penetrate the consciousness of everyone. In a civilization dependent on high technology and science, one that aspires to be democratic, it's critical that the public, as informed decision makers, understand the values and the methods and the rules of science.” Ann Druyan on The Lex Fridman podcast discussing Carl Sagan, Cosmos, Voyager and The Beauty Of Science
‘We have to think in longer terms. Currently the models applied to the world results in fighting between fractions of civilisation over the distribution of resources, but none of these fractions have a human social organisational structure that thinks in terms of hundred years, let alone a thousand years which are the time scales that Science operates on.’ Thoughts inspired by Ann Druyan on The Lex Fridman Podcast
As a tax paying citizen for the last 16 years, it's heartbreaking to think of all the corruption and waste that's resulted from pure malevolence and incompetence. As a good honest hardworking person, ! dedicate a portion of my time & energy (money) towards uplifting the general public in the form of tax. It destroys the soul, to know that a large bulk of it did not go towards that. That your contribution to society did not help create a better future for generations to come.
I have sleepless nights thinking how everyone’s digital footprint (personal and professional information) are stored in data centers (central points of attack) that are vulnerable to AI cyber attacks, and what malicious actors can do with that data 😔 Many legacy institutions due to ignorance and lack of understanding have not upgraded their infrastructure to deal with what’s coming.
According to Grok4.1 : Less than 10% of the general public know how sophisticated AI tools have become, especially in areas like reasoning, creativity, coding, multimodal understanding, and autonomous task handling.
‘It took roughly 30 years for society to widely embrace electricity,one of the most transformative and obviously superior inventions in history. Nuclear power is the cleanest, most energy-dense, and reliable source of electricity we have, yet it has taken civilization over 70 years to truly acknowledge and scale it. Humanity has always been surprisingly slow to adopt even the most game-changing technologies. This pattern runs through our entire history.’ Thoughts from @Michael Saylor on The ‘What Bitcoin Did’ podcast
The Harsh Truth If in reality, to have offspring is a God given right but the social mechanism enabled by the structure of civilization does not allow this right to flourish, then within that structure there are some human beings that are not mentally, physically or spiritually capable of doing justice to raising a human being to benefit the development and evolution of that structure… Maybe that civil structure doesn’t fully align with reality yet…

To the masses, individuals who speak Truth can appear Idiotic but it is the stupidity of the individual to not Listen that blinds one’s perspective of reality. The Truth is never stupid. It is the individuals idiotic interaction with Truth that is stupid.
So many times, a village Idiot (eccentric, dismissed outsider who speaks plainly or acts against the grain) is right and those that didn’t listen wants retribution from the deserved winnings of The Idiot. The Truth is not stupid. Your interaction with Truth is stupid.
A God that's omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, what does that Being lack? The only answer is limitation. So God created us in his image to accumulate these subjective experiences to grow wisdom. Our source creator wanted to understand what it's like to ask a question without already knowing the answer. Thoughts from The “What Is Money?” Show with hosts @Robert Breedlove & @Eric V Stacks and guest R Grant
Science often mistakes its models for reality, trying to impose objectivity on experience that is fundamentally subjective. Wisdom is accepting that multiple subjective realities coexist and that the deeper we explore reality, the more we realize how little we truly know. Ego and curiosity both serve survival, but only curiosity drives progress. Thoughts inspired by discussion on @WhatisMoneyShow with guest Robert Grant
