Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights — Page 13
This illustrates what I was saying about academia and survival in my Deconstructing Rationality - Part 2 episode.
But notice something even deeper. Harvard was created to teach God. To teach what Actualized.org teaches. But look how far it has fallen in 400 years. Look at what Harvard has become — the very opposite! That's what corruption really is.
Corruption is the perversion of God into power, wealth, fame, sex, status, and luxury.
What is everything made of?
Not atoms. Not quarks. Not strings. Not matter. Not energy. Not numbers. Not bits.
Infinities.
Infinity is the one and only building block of all things. Everything is made of Infinities.
But what the fuck is an Infinity? Infinity is Infinity. Don't you see? You need at least one unexplained thing. That one thing is Infinity.
“But Leo, how can everything be made out of Infinities??”
How could it be made out of anything else?
What does one of these Infinities look like? Nothing. You can't see it, touch it, feel it, measure it, think it, or imagine it.
WTF, so then it's not real? No. It is the realist thing there could be.
How many of these Infinities are there? Infinite.
Where does one Infinity end and another begin? They are infinitely close together. Infinity is infinitely fractally subdivided into Infinities. Each Infinity contains infinite Infinities.
Where did all these Infinities come from? Nowhere.
How did they first come to exist? They didn’t. They have existed Forever.
What created them? They didn’t need creating. They have existed Forever.
How is this possible? It’s a Miracle.
Nothing exists to stop every part of existence from being Infinite, so it is. An infinite number of Infinities are perfectly organized by an Infinite Intelligence to generate the visible Universe.
That explains Everything. All of ontology solved in a paragraph. No one will never come up with a better ontology than this.
The goal now for corporations is to replace the entire creator economy with automated slop and take all the creator revenue for themselves.
The goal of every online platform is to make it impossible for anyone's content to gain visibility unless you pay them a toll. Online platforms are visibility-toll-collectors, and without visibility no business can function. So every business in the world is a hostage to online toll collectors like Google, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Spotify. Eventually these platforms will give no free visibility to anyone. It will be entirely pay-to-play. You won't even show up on Google unless you pay them. That's where we are headed.
Spinoza is one of the most accurate Western philosophers.
This is gold:
It's nice to hear Cal Newport is not fooled by all the AGI hype. Cal Newport is exactly correct here. This is high quality rationality, cutting through Tech Bro sci-fi techno-capitalist fantasies.
Tech Bros are spiritually bankrupt man-children using rationality to jerk each other off, take your money and enslave your children.
This is how science really works:
Again: Survival is your master! You are not smarter than survival.
This lady offers an interesting critique of how post-modernism has infested psychology.
But, is her critique from above or from below? Who is right? Is this a higher or lower perspective? You decide.
