up:: [[Volume 1]] # Links [[Volume 1 Episode 1 (Notes)]] # Article # Transcript ## Introduction Alright. Welcome to episode one of the show. Well, technically, the second episode, but we're naming it episode one. I just finished recording it. I did it over the span of three days, and this is interesting episode. So kind of originally, the idea was just I explain my worldview, what is truth and what is reality, and then I tried to do that without any preparation and I kinda failed. And so the first couple sections of this, of this show, this episode are kind of ramblings. So if you wanna get to the main point, I think you should skip to section six. I'll put a time stamp in the description. And and, yeah, otherwise, you should listen to that section. If not, just we'll listen to the whole thing. The whole thing is more general. I don't really even know what it's about, but I think these shows are kind of general in general nice. And, yeah, I hope you guys enjoy, and I'll see you on the other side. Hello. ## Section 1 Hello. Welcome back to episode two of the show. It's actually only been one day and I'm already starting to record the next one which is great. I think the low friction thing is working. I don't feel the stress of having to plan out the whole episode before I start. I already know what I'm gonna talk about though as I said, I'm gonna talk about my epistemology, my worldview, and how I make sense of things, and I think that kinda sets the foundation for everything moving forwards. So I'm very excited for this one. This is the question that I think I've spent the most amount of time thinking about. It is when I first having these thoughts, started having these thoughts, even before when I started pondering, I wanted to know more about the world and the number one question I asked almost straight away was how do I know what is true and what is truth itself? I think it's always been obvious to me that I should answer this question first before I even get into any specific domain because without a basis in which I can construct on top of, build it on top of, I feel like all the claims that I hear and believe don't really have any solid grounding. And so, for a long time actually, I've been trying to figure out my own understanding what truth is and that kind of almost is a trigger in it of itself because to do that you have to think introspectively meta and you have to do and engage in metacognition. And so, guess I could start straight away, but first I want to get into a little bit of the admin of the show. Last show was actually supposed to be episode one, but I've retconned it now it's episode zero, always has been guys. And the reason for that is because it didn't make sense. As I said, the show episodes start the moment I upload the video. So then the moment I uploaded episode zero, episode one, this episode began and everything I do from that moment until I upload this episode is gonna be episode one. But if I didn't, you know, red con it back to episode zero and I move that to episode one, then there is kind of no marker to fill or no nothing to fill between episode zero and one. So just a little bit of admin if that makes sense. If not, don't worry about it. And then, this episode onwards, I really want to focus on my speech and speaking better. I've noticed that whenever I am trying, can speak a lot clearer and be a lot more articulate. But if I'm not trying, I kinda default back to a autopilot mode and my autopilot mode is really just the average of the people I listen to. I listen to a lot of shows and a lot of podcasts and of course I listen to my friends in real life and depending on the composition and frequency of the exposure kind of creates my default baseline autopilot voice. And recently, that mixture hasn't been so good, so my baseline has not been great. But I can always go beyond that and and start trying intentionally to sound better and I hope that by doing so, I hope it's already obvious that I'm trying and I guess I wanna cut out words like and and the stutters or things like that. And I guess that's what I wanna do going forwards. So not too much planned for this show besides explaining my worldview, what I believe is true and what is not. I think we'll get started right away. The first thing that I wanna do is kind of zoom all the way out and kind of focus on the present moment and how in the present moment we are kind of taking in sensory information from obviously our five senses but also kind of internally, we can observe some of our thoughts or some of our feelings. And really the only thing that you know for certain is that this observation is happening because just the moment before this moment, technically speaking, you could have not existed and someone implanted the memory of everything before that just before this moment. So only really in this moment are you certain everything is real and so is the future of course, you don't know the future is gonna happen. It could just stop this moment, it could just go black and, you know, there's nothing stopping reality from doing that. So really, I guess I started to do that thing where you question, is it true, is it not true, how can we know for certain? And from that line of questioning, you can say that I'm a skeptic and I questioned everything out of existence, which I literally just did. But of course, that is not very useful. Right? I can't just say, you know, things in the past aren't real, things on the future are not real and the present moment is real, it's not very useful. But I want to arrive there as that is the beginning of my questioning, line of questioning into what is true and what is not and the only thing that I can know for certain is true is that I exist in this current moment and I am aware of these current things. But I wanna move beyond that because that is not very useful, right? So then we kind of assume, first of all, that experience and reality is somewhat continuous and also makes sense. It doesn't just break, it does there's no stopping, there's continuity, things don't just disappear and if you do the same physical things, the same physical reactions happen. So we can kind of assume the future is real and then we kinda look back into the past and yeah, we have faulty memories and all that but the past is relatively consistent as well. So the past kinda makes sense. So then, now we can kind of assume the past exists, we can kind of assume the future exists. Now we don't know for certain but so far it hasn't failed us. So we know the past, present, and future exists And now, can we assume that there is a reality? Well, we are receiving sensory information from somewhere, we're perceiving it from something. And so far, if a past and future kinda exists, it makes sense that there is a reality. And while that might not be true and maybe this is all an illusion or something like that, because of the consistency and the continuity, we assume that there is one reality that exists out there, that that is the source at which we take in our sensory information. And so the past, present and future exist and then we also assume that a reality exists and we assume that because, well, it makes sense, everything that we experience for most of our lives makes coherent sense. It's not like I'm picking up my water bottle and it's like flying up into the air. I pick it up and I the same behavior I expect the water bottle to be is what happens. And so we're going under assumption here and we're assuming that there's another world out there, that the past and future exist, and from there on we kinda try to make sense of the world. Right? We try to make sense of what is out there and we do that again, so the same kind of process that we've been doing which is kinda where just assuming things, we're kind of predicting things because they make sense from our memories which seem to make sense. And so, really what I'm saying is that the world out there, we try to make sense of the same way we made sense of the past and future from the only thing that we know for certain which is that we exist in this moment, we're able to kind of make these assumptions or models of reality, of different concepts of reality, and we've applied that to expand kind of what we can interact with. So now we go out into the world and of course there are a lot of things in the world, for example, that I am human or this is a room and we have to cognitively make sense of it, That's how we start doing things, that how that's how we start moving around the environment. I know this is a bit abstract, so hopefully in the next bit when I watch it back, I'll be able to go to a more concrete example, but I guess I tried to from first principles, so we'll be back. ## Section 2 Alright. So it is the next day and we're gonna continue from yesterday. And again I mentioned that it was a little bit abstract, so I think we should just answer the question outright and state the question which is that I wanna answer how do I know something is true and what is truth? And to put it out right, I guess, there is no truth or if there is a truth, we cannot ever obtain it. Instead, what we can do though is we can make models of the world, we can make hypotheses and we can go test that hypothesis by interacting with the world. And so, really what I was rambling on about before was that because we don't know the truth, we can never obtain the truth, we have to approximate, we have to make models, we have to look at all the things that we can think about and we have to pull them together to make a coherent understanding, approximation or type of map of the world in order to interact. And again, this is still quite abstract. So I guess what I can do is I can try to pin it to an example, which is that, say, I think there is some sort of claim and say the claim is something like, if you eat fish, you'll live three years longer on average if you eat fish often. This is just such a bad example. This is actually slightly harder than I thought. But say that's the claim if you eat this type of fish regularly, you'll eat you'll live three times longer, three years longer on average. And what I'm doing there is I'm making a claim on reality. Right? I'm I'm saying that if you do this, in this world that we're currently experiencing, this thing will happen. And I said that again, we cannot know for certain anything is real at all, again, it's only in the present moment that we can be certain. Wait, give me one second. So let's perhaps just take a step back and again focus on the question which is that I wanna have a way to evaluate claims about the world. And what we established before was that there is at least a world and when we whenever we make claims, scientific claims or any type of claim like that really bad fish example I just gave, We are trying to say that this reality that we assumed is real before is some sort of way. Right? And we're kind of casting that out onto the reality. We're saying that, you know, let's just this is an example and just focus on what we can see actually. Let's just say I I claim that there is, you know, that plushie over there and that plushie exists. Right? And I claim that because I can see it, But, again, you know, I'm claiming that there is some type of structure of the reality, and then we have to try and validate it. Right? We have to say whether that's true or not. And so I could go over there and I could touch it and I could say that it's real and, you know, you you listening to me right now would probably agree that that's probably real. But but really what I'm saying is you can't know for certain because when you're listening, you're listening through a screen and I could have just edited that in and made it look really believable and you wouldn't be able to tell. So again, we're focusing kind of on evaluating claims about the world because we need to understand how the world is in order to interact with it, in order to do things. If you have a goal for example, to reach that goal you have to go through reality. And really what I'm saying is that we can never truly understand reality because not only is it infinitely complex, we can also never really a % with a % certainty, know that it's there. So I guess what this is like a really roundabout way of saying that I'm extremely skeptical of anything. But again, as I said, that's not very useful so essentially, to make it more useful, we have to make assumptions. And from so maybe that's how we explain this. It's like from, you know, this questioning of of continuous questions, it's it's really like that, you know, I think therefore I am, where you question all the way to the only thing that you know is true which is that you're you exist in this moment. And once we've got there, we're like, okay, we know this is for sure, this is for certain, but now what? And then the now what is you kinda start to assume things. You you assume things and, you you know, you assume the future is real, the past is real, there is a world, and then you start assuming other things. And the way that you inform your assumptions is you process the sensory information coming in. Like, for example, my vision is the sensory information that is kind of leading to the assumption that that, you know, that plushie is real. And again, my memory is kinda informing that as well. And so we use our sensory experience to make these assumptions on the world and that's all there is. And this is just a really horrible explanation, I do apologize for that. I mean, I guess part of this show is gonna be things like that. You know, it makes so much sense in my head. Wait. I'll I'll be back. I'll be back. One sec. ## Section 3 Alright. So I think first, I'm gonna take a break, and I'm gonna talk about why that explanation failed, which was that I was trying to do perhaps two things at the same time or at least there are at least two ways to go about an explanation, which is that for a concept like this, what I tried to do at the start was that I tried to, from first principles, step by step arrive at the idea And I think that was not so wise because the steps, I was just making it up along the way. So instead, what we can do is kinda just describe the idea itself and then maybe backtrack then to the first principles and the the causal chain of events that led to it. So I'll just state, like, a simple model as possible, just, like, ditch all the assumptions. I think I was doing a lot of, like, nitpicking as well because every claim with this model has some fault, it was kind of muddling the explanation. It's okay because I think maybe in the introduction I'll say that we just skip to this section if you are listening. I don't really want to edit it out though because if I start editing it out then it just becomes a presentation. So so maybe in the notes somewhere I'll say these sections are really trash. You should skip. Yeah. We'll see how that goes, but let's go to the full thing which is that there, I think, there is a one shared continuous reality that we are constantly getting sensory experience from. And so there is this one coherent, consistent, shared reality, and then we as individual humans were able to take information from that reality and then store it, of course, in our brain or somewhere, and that's all there as we we interact with the map or the model that we have made about this one shared continuous reality, and that model is never a % accurate because, you know, the reality is infinitely complex and our brains are only so smart, but we're getting better at it. We're actually pretty good at it because, you know, we can navigate the environment, we can achieve all these great things, we can build all these things that the main thing is that when we do anything, when we take an action, we actually not only affect this one shared continuous reality, but we also get feedback from it. Right? If I go over there and I pick up that plushie, I'm gonna feel the plushie and the plushie will have moved in this shared continuous reality. But again, it's never perfect. But of course, there are other ways. There are ways in which you can interact more with the reality through science, for example, when whenever you carry out a, you know, an experiment, you're basically trying to as unbiasedly as possible get feedback from the reality and build a model that is as accurate as it can be. Now obviously we fail at that and I'll get into why and what that means in a later episode perhaps. But, yeah, so I think that's my worldview and my epistemology which is that there is one shared continuous reality that we do not fully interact with with perfect resolution because our minds are limited. In fact, instead what we do is we take little samples from that reality And then from that reality from those samples, we build a map, a model, some sort of understanding of it. And this understanding then informs our actions. And these actions we carry out in the world. And as a result of those actions, not only does the reality change, but also we get feedback from the reality. And that feedback creates the loop in which, in theory, if the more we interact with reality, the more information we get, the more understanding, and then the more accurate our model becomes. And so when someone says that something about this one shared reality is true, what they're saying is that through their model, they have made through their model, through their sampling, they have made a claim that this is the way it is. And so there is no truth and there are just models and the way we use those models to do certain things is kind of like the sum of of anything. ## Section 4 Guys, it's over. I'm ending the show. This is too hard. I'm just kidding, dude. I thought it was gonna be a lot easier. I don't really know what I expected. But that's kind of the main thing, guess, which is that again, there is one continuous shared reality and we're kind of interacting with it all the time and we're getting feedback from it and building these models and we use the models or the maps in our minds to inform our actions. And that's as simple as it is and to apply it, we're gonna have to do that in another episode perhaps. We have to expand on that. Dude, maybe I'm just having an off day. Didn't get didn't get the best sleep. It's over for me. But that's alright. That's part of the show, I guess. Maybe I'll I'll give the explanation one more one more shot tomorrow, and we'll see how that goes. But let's take a break and just talk about some random stuff. So I was thinking about the format itself and what what this is. As I said in the last episode, this is kinda like the raw material that everything builds on top of. So it almost feels like it shouldn't even be listened to because it's so trash. But, and this just proves it of course guys, nah nah, but, you know, I was thinking it's more, probably gonna be a lot more interesting five years from now. And if I continue to do anything sort of intellectual or creative, then whatever I'm doing now would be a good watch. But because I'm currently in the moment, you know, my explanations are trash, my ideas are subpar, it won't be the best thing to do. But I think it's, again, how we progress, again, I wanted to ponder and progress, so so I'm doing that at least. And yeah, I mean I guess I didn't really have a clear articulation of what exactly I mean. In the next episode I'm going to talk about what exactly is modeling and how we do that through our cognition and maybe that can help expand on this explanation of my worldview. Guys, this is just so depressing. I'm depressed. It's okay. It's okay. So what we're gonna do then is we're gonna use AI to transcribe this and then we're going to index it by sentences and by topics and by sections. So whenever I do a cut, I think maybe we can call that a section. And then because actually, we can call it a section if I pause the recording and I listen back to what I just said. And so there will be an episode where I have a couple sections and each section will have a bunch of sentences and we'll name them maybe line one, line two. And so later on we can kinda reference back to, you know, episode two, section four, line whatever. And this is maybe also how my AI system kinda groups lines together or topics together. And so maybe in my vault, I will have a piece and then at the bottom of the piece will be a list of sentences talking about the topic throughout all of these episodes. And so I think that will be pretty cool. And yeah, I have this because it's so bad, I have this like desire to edit parts out to retry but I think that would defeat the purpose because the purpose is to just discontinue. Maybe I can try again the explanation as I said maybe I'm having a bad day and tomorrow's explanation will be a lot better. But I think I got the main idea across. I mean that's kind of the main thing. And again, there are again nuances like, you know, how do we know there is one shared continuous reality? Well, we don't but I assume so because it's useful. And really if we kind of I'm just adding a little bit more context. If we think about it, we, you know, through the questioning, through the skeptical questioning, question out all of existence till the only statement left is I exist in this moment. And then now we have nothing, we have this one thing, we have to build it back up again. So we destroy everything and then from that statement we build everything back up again. And that is kind of how I arrived at this world view. And maybe I can talk about the journey of how I got here which is, you know, I never read any philosophy books or any specific school of thought and maybe that's a flaw of mine, but as I said, all of my ideas come from introspection and whether it's COPPO or not, I believe that if I read a book, I'm gonna become consumed by that school of thought. The fact that there are so many schools of thought and no one has figured it out, I believe is kind of a meta signal that perhaps synthesis or coming up with something in the meta layer will have the yield and it also has the lowest bar, a barrier to entry. I don't have to read like 20 books before I can have any thoughts. I can just think and get there. And of course, will read and we'll do investigations a lot in the future, deeply research episodes, episodes where I am reviewing progress on my journey into a specific discipline or something like that. But I think that for now, I have I still have I guess a lot of messy ideas like this that would be nice to dump out and have a record of because I guess the AI the AI will understand what I'm saying. Even if I'm stumbling all over the place, I think if I feed this to Opus four, Opus four will understand. And I think that's all that matters for now because one one of the reasons actually I'm doing this show, guess, I didn't even know consciously was that I wanted to talk to AI about these ideas that I have, but whenever I want to do that I always have to kinda paste in a bunch of context. So it would be really cool to have this sort of retrieval augmented generation system where I can pull together all of my thoughts, but for it to be able to do that I would have to have a record of my thoughts somewhere and this show would be the way to get the record down on some sort of medium and of course it would be text because I can transcribe it. And so I guess that's it. I want to do I want to make it so that the episode is not just this. As you can see this is a mess. So maybe the episode is not just the voice and me rambling, it's also the notes and the things that are built around what I'm saying now. Like for example, I can again transcribe this and then I can maybe pull out pieces or summarizations of good ideas. And maybe I can actually even go back and do presentations on parts of this. I'm sure actually I can make a presentation of actually what I was talking about this whole time, but then that would be kind of a layer on top of this section. So this is almost like the draft. And then I would, yeah, use the draft and everything I gained from the draft to make the actual presentation. And that would be again contained within the episode itself. So this episode started as soon as I uploaded episode zero and then it will will end at the end when I upload this. But I was just thinking like I have a lot of just random topics I wanna talk about and it's almost like I wanna start another episode while I'm still doing this episode. So we'll have to kind of maybe I just have to be patient. And then I was thinking about the long term of the show and I realized that there will come eventually to a time where I have dumped out everything that I have already thought of. Because right now I'm just kind of recalling or just trying to re articulate what what, you know, I already thought about, but eventually that will end and then I'll have to start doing something else and I'm sure I'll I'll be able to find something else to do to think more. But when that kind of phase ends, I want to have a way of indicating that it ended. And so I'm thinking of adding this new kind of device, new technology, new semantic technology to signal that in which a volume will not only have just a bunch of episodes, it will also have phases. They're not so much chapters. I mean, I I guess I could call it chapters or phases. But chapters, chapters don't contain episodes. Maybe chapters is another one, but I think phases is more correct. Feels more right. And there and that specific feeling, I'll get into when I get to essence. I actually have a list of ideas already written down on what to do next, there's a lot to get into. And so so yeah. So that's kind of that's kind of it maybe for this show. Maybe tomorrow I will run through the explanation again and then I'll I'll finish it off. Is there anything else I wanted to add? Let me have a quick think. Yeah. So, I'm currently working on building that AI system to transcribe everything and organize everything and I'm building it while, of course, in this episode. And I was wondering, I guess, should I be explaining that here or should I wait onto another episode where that is the main theme? And I guess it would kinda make sense if I explained it maybe just a little in in kinda the ending of the show. Maybe an episode is structured like the first part is the theme and then the second part is kind of free flow where I can give that kind of explanation. And so I might just do that And so the file the system I wanna build the AI system is based, it's kind of like the system itself is not dependent on any sort of technology, But to execute the main functions of the system, eventually, we would have to adopt the technology. Right? ### On Obsidian And so I've been using Obsidian for two years now, and I really love Obsidian. I love the philosophy of Obsidian. I think the the founder, the CEO of Obsidian really has some really great ideas. Specifically, I love the markdown format of Obsidian and how the files we're able to read and interact with and we own. For example, on Notion, everything is like stored in the cloud and you can't really interact with the raw files of Notion. So you're always there's like always this big friction gap to actually obtaining the information. Whereas for Obsidian, it's markdown files is literally just text and it's so easy to edit and to organize. ### - And so I wanna build this AI system, I'm calling it CognitionOS and it's gonna be based fundamentally on markdown and it'll be one a couple big folders containing different groups of markdown files and then I'll be able to index over the markdown files. I'll be able to, you you know, use certain predefined indexes, for example, a title, the tags, the YAML files, and then I'll program it in a way so that the AI can fetch the relevant the relevant files and add it to context. So there will be kind of a file system. It's the way I kind of organize these markdown files, and the core storage format is markdown. And then I'll have to build kind of a bunch of tools to interact with markdown, to interact with my specific indexing format. ### Semantic Referencing And to do with that, for example, came up with a concept called semantic referencing where right now in Obsidian, you can hyperlink, but I think we can add another dimension to hyperlinking because a hyperlink is just pointing to a, you know, to a to a page. But I think we can specify exactly how we point to a page. So maybe after the hypertext, we have maybe a bracket or something like that that can describe in what way we're hyperlinking. And the application of that would be that when an AI is able to view it, it's able to understand if it needs to fetch the file and put into context. So for example, if I have a a long document that is dependent on a couple of other concepts and a couple other documents, I can specify specifically that, for example, these four out of the 20 hyperlinks need to be fetched and put into context to understand the piece. And I can define that semantically and while I'm writing, and it just makes it, you know, the AI system slightly more deterministic. ### - And so yeah, I'll be working on that and that's how I will hopefully get the AI system to work together with these shows to transcribe and then create files and things like that. It's gonna be a big project and I think we'll get into maybe more of the philosophy of Cognition OS in the next episode when I'm talking about thinking and building models. But yeah So I think I have to clean up a couple things and then yeah. So even I still haven't got the notes for last episode, and so I'll do that now. I'll probably transcribe it and then do a couple summaries. So, again, we're trying to build, I guess, I guess better presented formats on top of this raw thing. This raw thing is just a dump. And then and then from this raw thing, again, we can build, you know, summaries, tweets, articles, and even presentations again with proper slides. I think this concept of my world view is a lot easier to explain if I had a picture in front of me. So maybe I'll do that. And, and yeah, I think this episode is being long enough actually, so maybe we can end it now. I did kind of get the main idea which is that I think there is one continuous shared reality and we're building models based on the information we get, we sample from that reality, and that that that's all there is. And I think the implications of that will be more made more apparent as I talk about other concepts. So, yeah, big defeat, guys. But I think that's part of the part of the show. I think the show is actually supposed to capture this dimension of of things not going as expected, and it would be great again as I said to look back maybe in five years. And so, yeah, I think I might end it there, and we'll see we'll see how things progress. ## Section 5 Alright. It is the next day. Feeling much better today. I've got a better night's rest. I think we're ready to continue. So I was thinking about yesterday and, I guess, what happened. And I think I had this insistence that there had to be no preparation and minimal thought beforehand, before I started recording or something like that. And I think at the moment it sounded right because the more preparation I did, the further away I would stray from a pondering state. But I think that yesterday's concept that I tried to explain, epistemology worldview, that is a very long concept. It's not necessarily complicated, I don't really know what complex means to me yet, but I know that there's a lot to it and when there is a a lot of different parts to a concept and you try to linearly start explaining it, you have to kind of find, I guess, the best path to do so. And if I don't prepare and I just try and ponder, I ponder out the explanation, it's gonna be really hard to, on the spot, make the right path through this very large concept space and then explain it and ponder it out. So actually, not preparing for something like that has more friction than if I did a little preparation. And so I guess from now on if I have a concept I wanna explain, it wouldn't be a bad idea to do a little bit of preparation, which I have done. And I wanna go into a little bit of the semantics of what is a section and what is a break because yesterday, I filmed those sections in two blocks, but one of the blocks I kind of pause the recording. So in OBS, I can pause the recording and not end the clip. So I think those are two distinctions that can be made within an episode. Episode. It's like a section is one full m p four file from OBS, but then within a section, can still take breaks using the pause button. And I will pause in a moment as well before I try to do and give the explanation again. And so that's what we're gonna do to finish off this episode. But before that, there is just a some thoughts that I got, I guess, while watching yesterday's parts back. I think every time I watch it back, everything every little thing becomes a prompt for new thoughts. It's really I think this meta thing of watching it back is really good because the thoughts just kinda keep coming. And I think especially if I space it out like I'm doing it now through the days, I'm kind of letting it almost just kinda brew in my head, if that makes sense. So I think that's a good thing. And I think there's also something within the failures itself that is somewhat useful at least. Like yesterday when I tried to explain the concept, I could have just cut it out, but I feel like the way that I'm failing and perhaps the specifics of that can be made useful once it is recorded. And I think especially to AI and in the future. And I think that maybe the failure itself on the first level is not so useful. It's in the meta layer that there will be something. And so that's why I'm gonna keep it in. I don't wanna edit it out because if I give myself the ability to edit things out, then I feel like that would defeat the purpose of what I'm trying to do. So we're gonna keep it in and in the introduction so I think I'll give myself one edit which is I can record a clip at the end of the episode and put it at the front. And that's not too difficult because the command line prompt to to stitch the pieces together, to the stitch the sections together allows me to order it. But I don't wanna order anything else, just the final clip I'm allowed allowed to move to the front. So then in the introduction, can say, you know, these first four sections were out of garbage, you just skip if you're watching. And if you wanna watch it more like for fun. I do think that, again, I mentioned in the previous section that this is a raw the raw content, like it's unedited, unfiltered, and unpolished. I think that's the most important thing. And because it's unpolished, it's gonna be almost again as I said not even meant for listening. It is more of a record in that sense. But the most differentiating thing is that with AI and larger language models, we can almost index back and we can pull out specifics where it would have taken a lot of effort to trace or record because I think there is something there is something that's missing in a polished piece that is only captured in the draft of a piece. And that draft is kind of never released or never examined and so I want to be able to do that with these episodes. But it does come at a cost, of course you guys watching may find it harder to follow and a lot of the time I'm just rambling. But it will get there one day. And again, as I said, I can build on top of these raw materials. I can maybe after this, I'll actually create some proper slides and then do a presentation of just the concept itself, like what exactly is my worldview, just that, and I can edit that all I want, but it will always reference back to this raw material and I think there's something in that format. Not so much the content, but in the format, in the meta layer. Again, we're going meta. Always always going meta. So yeah. And then what else have I got? I've got notes. I've written some notes when, every time I watch it back, I kinda write notes down. So I guess that's another form of preparation. I was debating whether to do a post episode examination. So after every episode, the episode after, I would look back at the previous episode and think about how I did. I'm not sure I'm gonna do that because technically I'm already watching it back. So maybe after every 10 episodes I can do like a a chunk review or something like that, maybe not. Maybe I'm going too meta guys. See this is this is one of my problems, I just keep going meta because you can keep going meta kind of forever but eventually it tapers off, it's diminishing returns. But we don't really have any sort of we haven't really tried that. It's a new field just how meta you can go. The structure of this the first, second, and third layer and how they interact. I'll definitely be doing that, I guess. And another thing about, you know, what this whole show kinda represents is a way to to capture more because in the past, if you wanted to capture your thoughts, your drafts, you'd have to like write it out, you'd have to organize it and that requires a lot of effort and we just didn't have the resources to put in that effort. But now, you know, this is really low cost, I'm just talking in front of a microphone and when I build my AI system, it's simply just going to search through this really fast, really cheap. And so we kind of gained using technology, we kind of lowered the effort required to capture things and not only to capture but to organize and later retrieve. ### Traced Medium And so now we can have we can kind of have like this new medium of content where imagine you have a non fiction book about an idea and instead of just words in a paragraph format, every claim you can click on and it will hyperlink to the first moment the author conceived of the idea and how they were able to trace that idea through time and how it ended up in this book. And all the relevant context around that idea, I mean that would be a really great experience and I hope that, you know maybe I can, I'm not trying to jinx it, but maybe in five years I can have a you know some sort of medium publication that's able to do that and is able to trace all the way back to right now when I'm talking. And so I guess that new dimension of traceability of of capturing the evolution and not just the end product is kind of what I'm doing here. And then finally, before I'm take I'm gonna take a I'm gonna take I think I'll take a section break, not a not a pause. I'm gonna get all my all my materials ready and I'm gonna give the presentation. I guess it's gonna be a presentation. And again, I don't wanna constrain myself. I don't think I did have that bias towards just doing pondering, but I think it will not work all the time as we have just seen. ### Grouping Uncertainty Principle So the final concept I wanted to say is about new concept, grouping uncertainty principle. It's like the pricing uncertainty principle. I don't even know if it's called that, but it's like I'm looking at the transcript of our first episode zero and I'm trying to know, you know, when to group certain sections together. And really, it's kind of hard to know how fine or how specific a group should be, how big a group should be because, you know, you have like the highest group which is the whole thing and then you have the lowest group which is like every single word and everything in between is kind of fluid, no one there is no structure to define everything in between. You can do like every two sentences, maybe three sentences, and per concept, but that concept, you know, what are the boundaries of that concept? And so it's really hard to to get a consistent standard for what are the size what are the group sizes concept group sizes. And maybe this doesn't make sense, but if you go back in theory, it should have been done by the time this release. If you go back to episode zero's notes, you'll see that I've grouped certain sections together under concepts or headings and what I what I mean is how do I know that heading is the right level of detail? Because I could go lower, I could go higher and then and there's really nothing that that can help me indicate aside from really intuition. So that's something I wanna explore and I guess I have to get good at because all my notes in Obsidian are really a group, right, and I don't know if the the note is too detailed or not and, yeah, I guess I just wanted to bring it up. I'll probably write a piece about that. And, yeah, so that's it for this section. ### - Oh, yeah. And I I've gotta start doing I've gotta start saying this is section x before that section because I was looking at some of the voice transcription providers. I'm looking at Deepgram right now and they don't provide timestamps so that's gonna be tough. I was looking I used 11 labs transcription but it's so expensive for no reason. It cost me like $4 to to transcribe my first episode for no reason. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, don't think so, I just uploaded the file. But Deepgram is pretty cheap but they don't do they don't do timestamps. So so I have to kinda manually decide the sections. There there's no way that's the best way. I'll probably find a better solution but but I guess it's also helpful to to index because I guess the AI had kinda has no idea that the camera was cut. And so yeah, I'll be back with the final presentation, final attempt and I'll finish off this episode. I got a lot of work to do offline to index everything and to transcribe and write the proper notes. And now that I think about it, maybe in a future episode, I'll be working on a polished polished product based off of this episode. So for example, maybe we're in episode five and then while we're in episode five, we create like a presentation, a fully slided out edited presentation of the concepts in this episode. So I guess that's gonna happen. And, I'll see you for the final final final home run. ## Section 6 Alright. I'm back. I'm ready. I have spent quite a while actually preparing, writing down the notes. It turns out this idea is actually really complicated. There's a lot of different parts. In fact, I've split it into three layers to make the explanation possible. And now I'm feeling a bit nervous because in theory, I've done the preparation. It's the same nerve actually when I feel when I'm presenting. So I gotta relax. I just don't want to mess it up again because then then, like, the show itself would take on a continuous trial and error thing, and I don't think that is so much worth it. I think it's only the first fail that it use useful, but then if I'm failing in the same way again and again, then I feel like it's not really useful anymore and it just becomes fluff and the show becomes full of fluff. So there is a pressure for me to perform, but I have prepared. So we'll see how we do. If we do do not okay, we'll think about how how to deal with that, but let's get started. So now is officially the beginning of section six. Hopefully, I was counting that correctly. And we're gonna give the presentation on my entire world view all over again, but this time with notes. I've got notes actually right next to me, and I'll show the diagram which we've seen. So this explanation is, again, not maybe scripted and not maybe perfectly polished, but it's prepared. I have thought about it. And so we start at the beginning which is why we're caring about this question. ### My Worldview I guess we should start with the question which is, how do we know if something is true and what is truth itself? And then we first ask why do we care about this question? Right, and the reason I care about this question is because to do anything at all in life, to achieve any goal, to take any action, we do so because we believe that it is the best thing to do in the moment. Now obviously you can say, you know, sometimes you make unconscious choices, sure, but whenever you are making a decision, right, whenever you are trying to move towards something in the world, the things, the actions you take, and the choices you make, you make them based off of what you believe and the better information you have, the better decisions you will be able to make and then the easier it is to get to your goal and everything else kind of follows that. If you know everything in the world, then you know how to live a perfect life. And so a lot of life is this information problem almost. Right? You don't know what to do because you don't have enough information and you don't have a way to get that information. So we start from the goal which is we want to make better decisions, take better actions and move faster towards a goal. And to do that we have to know the truth, right? We have to know what is out there and what will get us to where we need to be. And that is the beginning of this question and we have to keep that in mind. We have to remember that the reason we are starting this line of questioning into epistemology, into what is truth, is because we want to make better decisions that are applied to your life. We don't care about this philosophical just pondering what is truth, I couldn't care less, right? But the reason we are doing it is because then we can make better decisions that has an impact directly on our lives. And so now we begin, we say, well, how do we know anything is true? We start from any claim whatsoever and we keep questioning, right? We keep questioning saying, can I know that for certain? And I won't do it here, but if you keep doing it, eventually, if you're truly honest with yourself, you will come to realize that no, you cannot with a % certainty know anything. Right? Let alone a claim that is kind of, not determined with the for example, you know, the earth is is definitely probably not flat, right? But how do you know? Right? You can't really truly know, I mean you haven't even seen the curvature with your own eyes, probably not, but you're you're doing it so based on, you know, the science and all that and obviously you're right, but you don't truly know. You could just be kind of tricked, you could have been tricked and I I think that's what the conspiracy theorists believe that they've been tricked and all the signs are slightly off and they're lying to you. And if you keep questioning that, if you keep keep questioning, say you say, oh, so how did the planets revolve around or was it whatever, something like that, and you keep kinda going down into the question. I realize now this is another bad example, but we'll continue on. As I said we can skip this line of questioning but you kinda just keep questioning how do you know that's true for certain and then you realize that you cannot know for certain which is that in inside everything is this contained within any piece of evidence is almost this like someone else told me, right? Because you couldn't have been there to see everything yourself. So you read it in a textbook, you saw it on a video, you heard it from your lecturer or you heard it on the news and therefore technically it's just hearsay. So everything, you know, you have is kinda second hand and therefore you kinda just have to trust in that and that is where kinda all the holes are where you can say, well, how do you know for certain? Well, you don't, right? So, again, like we we're not gonna talk about usefulness or whatever, we're just saying, what can you know for a % certainty and any claim about the world you really can't because you kind of getting that from second experience. And so you kind of keep questioning, keep questioning and then you really start to get to almost the I think therefore I am and that's kinda where I got to. I know that was kinda a long way to get there and couple bad examples but we got there and for me I think throughout when I first started thinking about this, eventually I got there too, I'm like okay I can't be honest with myself and say I know anything for 100% certainty, except the only thing that I do know is that I exist in the moment and that some sort of sensory input is coming in. And now we move to the first layer of this worldview, which is that after questioning, after like questioning everything away because we can't know for certain, it's all hearsay or even your experience, how do you know you trust your experience? After questioning everything away, we're left with just two statements that we can know for certain. And those two statements are that the present moment is real because you're experiencing it and not only are you experiencing it, the second is that you're experiencing something, some sort of sensory input, and those two things are the only thing that you can say are absolutely real because you're experiencing it right now. Right? And this is the first layer of the worldview which is like the only two things I believe are absolutely certain. I don't have any doubt that I'm experiencing things at the moment and that this moment is real. And so this is the first layer of absolute certainty. Now there probably are some other statements or other ways to put those two statements together. I mean, the famous is I think therefore I am which is kind of saying the same thing. But this itself is the truly only thing that I can know for certain. Right? And again, we don't wanna lose track of what we're trying to do which is we're trying to make better decisions in the world, we're trying to take better actions, and really ideally what we want is to have a a % certainty of a good action or a good decision. Right? That's why we're doing this questioning of how do I know for certain and how we got to here which is where we don't know for certain. Right? Until it's those two things which is that we're in the present moment and that we're taking in sensory experience somehow. And now we're on layer one and we're kinda stuck here, we're like, okay, well, if those two are the only thing I know for certain, you know, what can we do? Right? Remember our goal which is we have to, you know, we have to do something, right? So we have to move beyond certainty. We have to give up this hope of getting absolute certainty because we're not gonna find it, right? If we keep questioning things, we're not gonna be able to find it. And so now we expand out, right? We say, okay, these two things are definitely true and now we don't care about a % certainty anymore, we just care about, you know, what makes sense. So now we're going on to my next layer which is layer 1.5 I call it. And in this layer is we no longer caring about certainty, we are now caring about some of kind of the philosophical foundations or just basic assumptions that we are going to have in order to kind of build any sort of worldview or any sort of way to justify anything. And I'll just say what those are which is first, first that we kind of, as I said at the beginning of this episode, that we kind of assume that the past and future are real in the sense that they kinda make sense. And the reason they make sense is because of continuity, right? We have in our experience right now, we still moment to moment things are continuous, they don't just disappear and our whole experience kind of is consistent. There's nothing crazy discontinuous happening. And that this like, that continuity is what kinda we that makes way to to give us the assumption that the past and future exist. Again, it's a very rudimentary assumption. And then from there on, we again assume that there is an external continuous shared reality. Now this claim is a philosophical claim that can be, you know, challenged, you know, how do we know there is an outside world, whatever. But what I'm saying here is that it doesn't matter. Again, we're moving now on assumptions, right? We're we're moving on things that we choose to believe because, again, from layer one, the only thing we can know for absolute certain is that the present moment exists and that we're taking in sensory experience. So everything now onwards we actively choose and we basically assume, right? So there are a lot of different kind of schools of philosophical thought that we could have chosen. We could have chosen that there is no outside world, it's all in our head, but we didn't choose that because because we have in mind our original goal which we wanna take better actions in the world. Right? And if we just assume that everything's in our head, well, that doesn't really help us. Right? And then also if we assume, for example, that the past is not real, well, that doesn't really help us either. Right? It doesn't really help us towards our goal. So in this kind of philosophical abstract layer, layer 1.5, we're kinda choosing out of all the different different philosophical schools of thought, the one that makes the most sense towards our original goal, which is to make better decisions on this world. Right? So that means ditching things like that that philosophical thought that's like, how do you know other people are conscious? We just don't consider that problem. We just just ditch that. We just say that there is a shared reality that everyone is conscious and that we're constantly interacting with that shared reality. We also ditch things like the multi multiverse theory or or like everyone's, you know, there's multiple realities clashing and that you're morphing your own. We we ditch that because it's not useful to us and we can't do anything with that. But we can do something with a shared continuous reality, which is the thing that we're assuming. And then another thing we'll assume is that making sense of things makes sense, and and we do that because it's intuitive. If, you know, if some if we understand something, it makes sense to us and therefore it works. We don't have to question what does it mean to make sense of things or can things be made like, we don't have to worry about that nonsense line of questioning because again, we're trying to focus on our goal. Right? We're focusing on our goal of how to make better decisions and how we take better actions. That's why we care about truth in the first place. So in this kind of philosophical layer, we've kind of chosen very few kind of things that we assume real and we assume exist. Again, are assumptions. I'm not claiming that these are what is, I'm just saying that out of all the philosophical ideas, choose these because these are the ones at the moment serve our goal the best. Right? Because in the future maybe we find some sort of way to disassociate from time through a drug or something like that, in which case we'll have to update our worldview and, you know, we'll to probably pick the one where time the past or future is not real. But at the moment, we assume the past or future is real because it's very useful. It's it's it's what we experience every day anyways and yeah. So this is the layer 1.5, this is the philosophical layer and this is where, you know, a lot of the debates happen, a lot of time is wasted and I think this is where kind of, you know, philosophy gets a bad rep because here, you know, could have said things like, yeah, how do I know if other people are conscious, you know, how do I know there is only one, that there is a reality, and I could have kept asking those questions but it is not useful. And that is why in this layer, out of all the philosophical thoughts we pick, specifically pick certain ones that will help us towards our goal, which is the couple that we've chosen, this is not exhaustive but we've chosen that the past and future are real, that there is an external shared reality, and that making sense of things makes sense. And that I guess time may also exist and things like that. Just basic kind of really what I'm saying is common sense. Right? Like common sense and taken finally instead of questioning the common sense because I guess this is like the bell curve of like at the very left, it's like you don't question common sense at all, and then the middle is like you're questioning common sense at this least to all of this philosophy. And then there's on the right, which is that, we've gone, we can we understand that we can question common sense, but we choose not to because it's not useful. And so that s the second layer, that s layer 1.5, the philosophical foundations. And now we get to the actual worldview itself which is again from there is one external shared reality and then we have our own cognitive models that we build on this shared reality and we build it because we receive sensory information from this external shared reality. Remember the claim in layer one which is that we exist in the moment and we're taking in sensory experience? That place that we're taking in sensory experience from is this one shared continuous reality that we assumed. And not only that, when we take action, right, by moving around or moving things around in this this reality, we also change this one shared external reality. And by doing so, we start to create this feedback loop, right, because if we change the reality, we're gonna get a different set of sensory experiences and that kinda updates our worldview, our model, and then we're able to act accordingly. And that's all there is, right? This is everything there is to to my worldview. And so that's how truth and how we think about truth, how we think about knowledge because we've arrived at a place where you know, there is no kind of truth, the traditional words. So I'm gonna pause right here and I'm gonna show you a diagram I made actually a long time ago. So if we can go here, now this is my Obsidian. So as you can see, this is kind of a a diagram that shows kinda what I mean. And essentially, there is one, as I said, one shared external reality. And now, obviously, it's not bounded like this. This is more this is a model of my model. And then as you can see this part, we're taking in this reality through our through our senses, and and that's going into our mind, which we assume is real as well, which makes sense. And then our mind constructs this model. Right? So if reality looked like this, then our model will look something similar to it, but not exactly. Right? And this is where the map is not the territory type thing comes in where, you know, reality is infinitely complex. Right? It's and our minds are only so smart and we can only, you know, process things so much and also our senses are only so high resolution, so we kind of have an imperfect model of the world. And by the way, a model just means a connected connected bits of information that have a boundary. And so I'll talk about models more in the next episode where it's all about how to make models and modeling. But right now, it's just just a model. You can think of it as map or or something like that or something like this, or it's like a copy of of reality that makes sense to us. And as you can see, some parts are closer to truth. As you can see, we're getting some parts wrong, and then some parts are just wrong entirely. And this is it, like, there's nothing else to it. There's no truth. There's no knowledge. Those are words that don't mean anything at all to our goal and I remember our goal is to be able to make better decisions and to be able to take better actions based in this reality. Right? And again, it kinda makes sense because to do so we have to have a good understanding of reality and we understand reality through our model layer that we build through the perceptions, and then again, we can we can take action to change that. And so wait. That's the wrong Alright. We're moving back now. So so that's that, and we are moving on continue talking about what this means. So, is there anything else? Is that the whole world view? And that is because s now we have a good answer to the question what is truth and how do we get there. And the answer is that there is no such thing as truth, there s only this external shared reality and that we re making better models of it through our thinking and Again, that model making process will be clearer in the next episode. Yeah, that's the answer to the question. And I guess, you know, what the meaning of this whole thing was, was this kind of grounding, if you will. Grounding to have some sort of justification because there are a lot of other schools of thought on what is knowledge, what is truth. And again, as I said before, I didn't really kind of read any of them nor do I plan on reading any of them. There are things like, you know, empiricism, positivism, rationalism, things like that they're all kind of trying to get to the same thing which is like what is truth and I have a good counter to that which is this, which is that there's an external shared reality and then we make models based on that reality. And then again, you know, this kind of like middle layer, layer 1.5 was talking about the philosophical stuff of is there an external shared reality and things like that. These are again just models. It's actually self referential in the sense that this worldview itself is a model of of what would be a good worldview and so we're constantly improving and in in that, you know, 1.5 layer is where we could improve if we wanted to in case something changes. But, yeah, I think that's a good explanation. There's a lot more to say and but really, I think we can leave though that. I got the main part out which is, let's recap, we kind of started with the goal which is that we want to answer the question what is truth and how do we know what is true and the reason we do that is because we want to take better actions and make better decisions because information is what helps us do that or or truth, how do you do that? And then we we start to question things, right? We we try to we try to see if something is certain, right, because a certain a % certain thing is useful for us to make decisions, right? So we wanna question, you know, whether something's certain or not and then we question, we question, we question and we realize, wait a minute, can't really say anything is certain except the two statements which are in layer one, what that this present moment exists and that we taking in some sort of sensory experience. So we got to that stage using questioning, questioning for certainty because we wanted to have some sort of certain statement to lean back on and then we realized those two are the only certain statements. And then at that point, we gave up on caring about certain statements. Right? And then we just moved on to the next layer, the layer 1.5, the philosophical foundations, and this is the layer where we can choose we actively choose some assumptions to make about the world. Right? And then these assumptions, you know, include that the past and present exists, that the future exists Sorry. Just the past future. And then we we do that because the world is continuous and it's stable, and then we say that there is an external shared reality and that understanding makes sense. And then from there, we move on to the final layer which is the layer that we're working with every day which is that there we assume there's one external shared reality and then we make models of that reality based on the information we get in from our senses. And then using our models we take actions in the world which change the type of sensory experiences that we get and things like that. And so truth, there is no truth, there is only the shared external reality and have more accurate or less accurate models of that reality. And therefore, our goal should be, you know, getting a better model and we'll talk about how to get a better model in another episode, but in the next episode perhaps things like science or you're deliberately kind of basically doing this is more effective than other ways but we're not restricting ourselves to anything. Right? This is this is quite an inclusive worldview because anything as long as it makes sense to us ultimately works. And it's just means for us to update our models. And so that's it, we get rid of the debate on what is knowledge, you know, we get rid of all the semantics and we just focus on that there is a shared external reality and we are trying our best to make sense of it and be more accurate in our understanding of it. ### - And then that's it. Yeah. So end end this section here. I think we'll have one last session just talking about everything else, tying it all together, some other concepts, and then we'll finish the episode. You know, I did okay. I did okay. It's not perhaps the perfect explanation. There's there's still a lot to get to, and I think that's where I think a a more polished presentation can get. But I think, you know, we've done enough to get the idea out get the idea out of me. And that's enough for this show today. We'll definitely come back and refine it and do things like that. But, yeah, I'll be back with the final section. ## Section 7 Alright. We're back. Just finished watching that, and, yeah, I think I did alright. I still don't know what I would do if I didn't do okay. Would I have to resort to editing it out? Maybe. We'll see. I mean, I can kind of think of it as a live show, and then I won't be able to edit it out. And people do live shows, they're totally fine. So I think maybe I don't have to think about that. But, yeah, I just have a lot of, other couple other footnotes to get through and then we're done. I forgot to mention this is section seven. ### AI Dumping So first off, as I mentioned, like, big part of doing things like this is so that I can gain relevant context for AI and to dump it all in AI. I think that the act of dumping a just a huge bunch of information into a large language model and for the large language model to instantly make sense of it and give you what you wanna know based off of that text. I think it's actually just so broken, it's so powerful and this that medium itself of being able to just thought dump and getting it to organize it for you and get it to prompt it to you, I think that's a whole thing that's been unlocked recently and we can we need to tap more into which is what I'm trying to do. I'm definitely dumping this whole thing into AI after this. ### Pondering State Next thought I had was about what pondering actually is. And the act of pondering, I think for me, is definitely a special state to be in. I do enter another state of consciousness for sure, but aside from that if we are examining just purely what it is, is pondering is the act of taking a thought to their conclusion in the moment. So I can take one thought and then I can keep going instead of stopping. And this is something that I thought I'd be thinking about which is that sometimes what's preventing you know, a a thought to develop is is some people just stop thinking after a couple of thoughts. Like, instead of pondering, they'll think, you know, this chain of thoughts so they have an idea and then they maybe go into the first, you know, next continuation of that idea, the next causal chain if you will. And then after like one or two causal chains, I think they'll just stop. And I've seen that and I think that's what difference that's what's the difference between the pondering state which is that it doesn't stop and it just keeps going. And Obviously, you know, it's not a linear thing and it might loop back around, it might loop into another idea, but pondering perhaps the state itself is the momentum to keep going. And no matter where the thought take us, don't stop. We don't stop after a causal chain or something like that. And obviously it does stop eventually and that's what I mean when I say taken to that conclusion because the thought does end and again like this thought which is prompted by this note about, you know, the act of pondering and how it continues, this thought itself will end soon and I will start the next one, but I can keep going for a while and I guess I could like try to ponder harder on it, but I want, I move on, but that's kind of something about pondering. And I realized while I was preparing for this part, the the part I just did, is that there is another form of pondering which I which I used to do with journaling which is that I type bullet points out. It's just a sentence and then I just hit enter a new bullet point. And it's actually almost the same effect as pondering like this except now I get to pause. The difference is I get to pause and because when I'm speaking, I don't really get to pause. I kinda have to keep going, especially because I'm I'm recording. As I as I said, mentioned last episode, yeah, I'm losing my voice. How I I feel the pressure of keep going. And when I'm doing the dot point, I can stop more often and more freely. So I'll do the dot pointing sometime but, you know, I still wanna be able to capture it like this. And then, you know, when I was preparing for this one, this world view, and I do think, you know, I will have a more polished piece out sometime and I'll work on it. I do think this is a really really complicated piece and I could pull in a lot of different things and therefore I could go into a lot of detail and what I'm saying is I can kinda spawn the entire world from this because this is the beginning. This worldview is so abstract. It's supposed to encompass everything. I just wanted to note that. ### - What's what's this? Not even gonna lie. Haven't even worked on this worldview. Oh, yeah. So so what I was trying to say there was I've had this worldview for almost about a year and I haven't made any progress on it because, you know, the only thing that I have in my mind is that there is one shared external reality and that we make models of that reality. And so the act of preparing just then, coming up with those three layers, I did while I was preparing to explain it. So there is the proof that I am progressing my ideas through this format which is great. And then so on. So then I talk about how there is a threshold where it is pure junk. In this pondering state, there is a like, before I I record it again, I tried to, like, explain it again in my words, but this time just like not recorded just straight into the AI and reading it, it was just a mess. It was a complete mess and I think when it was a complete mess, it's like below a threshold where, you know, it's it's worthy it's worth it to capture it and I think I should give myself the freedom to drop certain stuff that I know is gonna be bad. And then I have a bit about I'll skip that and then I'll skip that. Alright. I think that's it for this show. It's been a long show actually. I mean, I don't know if I don't know how long a show is gonna be, but it's been a long one. And then next episode, we're talking about modeling and how do we build models, how does building models work, and thinking in general. And we'll talk about Cognition OS. It's been a good good show. Learned plots. See, I'm learning. I'm learning and I'm progressing. And, yeah, we'll we'll record an introduction now. I wanna just upload it to be honest. I don't wanna wait till till I have everything figured out so I might just upload it. Because I was originally thinking I I would get this transcript, process everything first, but I think it's better if we move on to the next next episode. I know this is a timestamp thing but I wanna see at the conclusion tonight. It's it's 3AM. Okay. We will move on to the introductions. So the in the introduction, I think I wanna say a few words on the fact that the first explanation was a fail then we just started doing some pondering and then finally built up the courage and preparation to do a full explanation again. And I'll do that for the next episode as well. And yeah, we're done. I'll see you in the next one. And yeah, definitely look out for the the supporting material to come out around this episode. I think this one will have quite a bit. Some of the supporting material I think is definitely gonna have a huge obsidian note on this episode, but also probably on on x on some sort of other medium. Maybe I'll get on Substack as well. And, yeah, thanks for listening. If you listened but most likely, it's probably gonna be from the future, in which case, hello. And and, yeah, have a good whatever. # △
