• Everything is corruptable. So we must decide what is worth risking getting corrupted (who benefits from it working? Who benefits from it being corrupted? What happens when it’s corrupted?).
• Corruption doesn’t start out winning. It is not quick. It is not on top. Corruption is patient. It starts at the bottom and world its way up. We must learn from corruption and follow its lead, not by corrupting ourselves, but by starting small and knowing we’ll eventually be big
• I’m addicted to the explosive feeling of euphoria that happens when months’ or even years’ long of complex thinking finally clicks.
• Scalable theories and models are powerful
• Money is useful because it is easily swayed. It is up to us to decide what ways to use something that is easily swayed. Money isn’t evil, the misuse of it is.
• On Mac Miller’s album: his music makes me think that he finally experienced the universe. His death wasn’t a rejection of his life, but rather a return to infinity.
• That’s why this album made feels happier. Swimming felt like a rejection of life, whereas Circles is an acceptance of it.
• I have experienced the universe as well, but not to the extent of someone like Mac. If I were to return to infinity now, I would get lost.
• In the same way people are rightfully frustrated at religion for overstepping its bounds, I too am frustrated at science for the same reason.
• A problem with the world is that everyone is mentally ill, but no one wants to talk about it.
