When studying computer networks, isn’t it amazing to explore how radio and electromagnetic waves are transmitted from devices? By analyzing their patterns, how the waves interfere, clash, & combine and how data packets rides the magic of those waves. 🌊 A moment where physics, information theory and human intention collapse into a single phenomenon.

Love it all❤️‍🔥

Application algorithms attract different types of users. An algorithm focused on delivering “Truth” can be analogized to one’s reflection in a mirror and many people don’t like what they see when they do.

Constraint, when introduced into a system, can spark creativity. Interacting with AI built on carefully designed constraints, forces users to become more precise and imaginative with their language (whether words, numbers or patterns) to achieve the desired outcome.

Reality is primary. Tools are amplifiers. Confusion begins when the amplifier is mistaken for the source. Tools don’t replace reality. They expand what’s possible within it. Tools never replace reality but augment our interface with it. Reality remains the substrate. Tools are just leverage to build on top of that substrate.

Once put away a watch that felt meaningless after a hard goodbye. Maybe I was just wishing time could pause or rewind. Now a spark of connection & meaning brought it back to my wrist, a little reminder that accepting the flow of Time is part of growth & death.

Journal Entry 2026/01/07 Spoke to my sister this morning, who’s an artist. I urged her to use AI in her craft. She said AI takes away the human aspect of art. I replied: the canvas, the paint and the brush aren’t human either yet we use them to create Truth and Beauty.

Every human being loves to read. The trick is to find something to read that interests you, that satisfies your unique individual curiosity. 📚

The fundamental axiom of existence in physical reality is action. We cannot speak ‘matter’ into existence however the thought mechanism to speak of such things is an action in and of itself.

Historically, innovation flourishes in societies that protect individual agency, free markets (minimal government regulation, intervention & oversight) and private experimentation. When entrepreneurs and capital are allowed to test ideas with minimal friction, progress and prosperity follow.

Civilization is a social experiment. No one knows what the outcome of it will be…

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?” Prof Richard Dawkins

No force has improved human quality of life more than technology. Technology is a tool that lifts human thinking to higher levels of consciousness. Emotions like jealousy once served a purpose in survival, protecting bonds and scarce resources. But in an age of abundance enabled by technology, they’ve become largely unproductive. Though still embedded in our biology, progress requires stepping back from these primitive survival mechanisms and thinking beyond them.

Computers are the present and the future: distorting time, space, and energy to create portals into new realities.

Most "killer apps" weren't invented first.They emerged once the foundation became cheap, reliable, and invisible. • Internet → Email, Web • GUI → Personal computing • Smartphones → Always-on apps • Cloud → Streaming & SaaS • GPS → Navigation & ride-hailing • Public-key crypto → Online payments • Open source → Global infrastructure • Deep learning → Generative Al • Blockchain → Peer-to-peer money Foundations decentralize power. Killer apps reveal it.

AI agents are becoming native to the Internet. They are becoming autonomous in their action on the web, building apps, websites and economic activity.

Linux proves that open-source, decentralized software foundations are a direct mechanism for distributing agency, control, and power.
