Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights
Miscellaneous bits of wisdom and resources on personal development, life purpose, philosophy, epistemology, nonduality, psychedelics, etc. Published randomly throughout the week.
- penetrating mental vision or discernment.
- the sudden act of grasping the inner nature or truth of a situation.
- a deep understanding of a person or thing.
Insights here are meant to be quick and half-baked. Consider these food for thought.
I've deliberately disabled comments to keep the blog streamlined. If you want to discuss any of the blog posts, you can do so here: Actualized.org Forum
As I keep saying, LLMs are NOT AGI and will not magically become AGI no matter how much money these companies waste on datacenters. You cannot create intelligence through such stupid ways. No one in Silicon Valley has a clue what intelligence is nor how to create it. They are selling bullshit. We are living through the greatest conformist mass delusion since Nazi Germany. People are drunk on their own bullshit because all they care about is survival. It is ironic that such stupidity thinks it will create such intelligence. It is like watching a footballer think he can become Albert Einstein by kicking a million balls.
This AI bubble will go down in history as one of the most comically stupid aspects of the materialist worldview. All of this is to blame on materialism because all these tech companies are run by godless materialists who believe that Reality is a stupid machine that works in stupid ways.
Note: I am not against using LLMs in moderation.
This is an excerpt from my book:
Physicists do not understand that you could not have a single atom without Infinity existing first. The only reason even one atom exists is because EVERYTHING exists first. From Everything you can get atoms. Without Everything you can’t get anything. The universe didn’t come from nothing, it came from Everything. Before the Big Bang was not nothing, it was Everything. The fundamental ontological insight that physicists are missing is that it’s just as easy to start from Everything as it is to start from nothing! God didn’t create the universe from nothing, God created it from Everything, because no limit or rule existed telling him he cannot do so. That is the ontological trick that makes everything possible: just start with Infinity. No matter how you think about it, there had to be a first thing. If you are dumb, your first thing is nothing and you are completely stuck with nothing forever. If you are intelligent, your first thing is Everything, so you get the whole universe and endless more universes for free. This is the importance of Intelligence in ontology.
If you think you need to start with nothing, you just lack Intelligence.
If a magic genie gave you just one wish, what should you wish for?
EVERYTHING!
Duh!
GOD IS EVERYTHING.
That is the genius of God.
The world's best physicists do not understand that it is no harder to create EVERYTHING than it is to create one atom from nothing. No thing is harder to create than any other thing. This insight solves cosmology.
This is how every paradigm works, including science, rationality, religion, atheism, materialism, Marxism, libertarianism, Flat Earth, geo-centrism, etc. Paradigms are a one-way revolving door. It is 100x harder to leave than it was to enter. But everyone assumes this as proof of the paradigm's truth.

When I look at a scientist, I see a mind locked in a cage. It is sad to me. Like seeing majestic eagles in cages. My job is to show the eagle it can fly.
I can show you every way science clips your wings, if you are just willing to listen.
I just want to warn you that the AI bubble is getting worse and worse, less and less sustainable. This wave of AI is not AGI and will never reach AGI. AI is incapable of doing human jobs or serious creative work. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves and does not understand what intelligence or creativity is. It is only a matter of time until this becomes obvious to everyone. When that happens, the market will collapse. At some point soon I expect the AI bubble to catastrophically pop. Think carefully about where your money is invested over the next few years, or you will be in a world of hurt. When the AI bubble pops, all stocks and crypto will crash. It will be a bloodbath as everyone runs for the exits. Don't get caught with your pants down. If you made a profit in this AI boom, now is the time to cash in your profits and protect your wealth.
I predict that the Trump admin will end in a miserable market crash.
Of course I could be wrong, so consider that too. Predicting the future is always epistemically dangerous. I don't like doing predictions, but in this case the situation is serious enough that it is warranted.
This is insightful. However, you should always take into account that these ex-CIA guys are self-biased, with a pro-American bias. So never fully trust their perspective.
This is why I say the Devil is a marketer.
These online gambling platforms are the clearest evidence of the spreading corruption of society. Young people are going to ruin their lives with these platforms. Make sure you never gamble online. These platforms are designed to screw you.
Shame on Rick Rubin for being in their ads. Any celebrity or influencer who participates in gambling ads should be publicly shamed.
Online gambling is a cancer. Any wealthy or famous person who promotes it should be ashamed of themselves.
Joseph Campbell is great.
