@majamediaco conversations really do have emergent properties!!

that is so true, this is something i genuinely struggle with. my natural gravitation towards very nuanced and hard words in english is a real problem when people come tell me your writing is very complex. i completely agree that we need to write more simply, for writing is an exercise to break down complexity into simplicity. but that being said, style in writing comes with employing a certain kind of sinuosity to it which can often be confused with complex writing, when the author really is just coming from a place of comfort and art. so, while i do understand that i'm not reaching as many people as I should, i don't know how to simplify my writing without losing my essence. it's a conundrum i think most writers go through.

Why math works so well in describing our universe? Let’s look at it from three perspectives. 1. We grasp the graspable bits By definition, we model aspects of reality that we are capable of modeling. The remaining part may be truly random or complicated. For example, where do quantum measurements come from? Or the incompatibility between general relativity or quantum mechanics. We hit the limits of our models in those cases, so it’s a bit of survivorship bias when we ask ourselves why our models work so well in cases where do they do. 2. The Anthropic Argument Wigner wondered about the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in describing our universe. Out of all universes that could exist, the universes in which any science is possible upper-bounds their complexity (if universe were any more complex, no science is possible as laws would be too complicated and Wigner wouldn’t be asking this question). The lower bound of complexity is given by the fact that Wigner has to exist and hence laws have to be complex enough for intelligent life to be possible. Hence the universe we should find ourselves in should have laws and dynamics to produce life, but simple enough to be understood by the very same life. 3. The Simplicity Prior The Anthropic argument gives us a range, but it seems like our universe is at the simple end of that range. Given that the standard model fits on a page, the question isn’t why laws are graspable but why are they so simple? If you assume a prior over universes where simpler universes are more probable, then we should find ourselves in the simplest universe that’s capable of supporting life (which might be the case with our universe). What would motivate simplicity prior? Well, if we assume some kind of “universe generator” that churns through simpler universes first before getting to more complicated ones, we would find ourselves in the simplest universe that’s complex enough for intelligent life to emerge. 4. So, are there multiverses? Given, how successful Anthropic argument is for illuminating puzzles like Wigner’s makes me seriously consider the possibility that many, many possible universes exist beyond our own but that we just happen to find ourselves in a particular one that’s suited for us. Of course, there’s no way to experimentally prove it (yet), but given that the alternative is assuming our precise universe with specific laws and constants exists as a bridge fact, I’d pick multiverses and Anthropic argument as a more likely explanation for what we observe.

@paraschopra Paras, these are amazing trains of thought. off to ruminate on them to see if I can produce something out of them

@UtkarshVerma181 dont trust people easily bro but give everyone the benifit of the doubt

Now that I'm moving to a new place in a new country, one obvious thing that I sometimes fail to remember is that 1/ there are a lot of people in this world 2/ all the problems that we are facing have already been faced before 3/ i just need to make the right friends and ask the right questions and make the harder decisions (after the due trial and error) 4/ people are so ready to help because they've been helped before by someone else 5/ ive to stretch the appetite for risk and failure so long that no failure feels big enough 6/ there's always people to resort to during tough times This is also for someone else out there going through the same thing :)

I've been thinking about this fun piece of conversation that I have with some mates, where I choose a questionable place/situation for a person to be in which might not be typically the best place to muster happiness of any kind, and they respond to how they can make the place amazing (with or without the benefit of hindsight) I think it's a really fun way to understand someone's psyche and drive interesting conversations.

@majamediaco 🙋

@sourabhkapure But curious, why a ai demo video? Why not a real one?

@sourabhkapure Heygen does a good job in creating the avatar and spitting a good script out

@DeepInsightLabs @sammysintech @UseCorgi Not yettt

@DeepInsightLabs @sammysintech @UseCorgi After 5 is late? No I'm really from India no

@rohukrs @madeitdesi Rohit, I'm a writer, growth marketer and I'd love to help you with @madeitdesi if you're looking for some help- script, copy, positioning. I have an idea I wanna talk to you about as well. Let me know if we can chat.

@Parajuli_Prashi Way to go!!!!

@IndieKartik @Zoho Happy to help Kartik, we can chat if you're down. Can you dm me? I don't have access to dm you.

hello i'm divya and this is a quick intro. a product marketer who quit @Zoho , packed her books, and is moving to SF to go all in on startups. 1/i write a substack called 'in the becoming' that reaches 450+ inboxes and make ig videos about questions that keep me up at night. 2/ i'll tell you which book to read next based on one sentence you say. it's worked every time. 3/ you convince me that running is not the best mental therapy? you get 10 of my books. i mean it. at the core, i'm a product + growth person. 1/ 3.5 years at @Zoho - campaigns, launches, brand, all of it. 2/ i'm a growth fanatic. i'm obsessed with the product as a founder. anything to move a product forward, i've probably tried it. 3/ i'm a US citizen and i'll be in SF next month, looking to work with founders and startups who are cracked and innovating. if you know someone, connect us, i'd love to talk :)

@sheetalchauhan5 @neervj Hi sheetal, the product looks great. how's the build going? would love to try it out myself. in other news, i'm flying to SF in a month. would love to help out however i can- would be great if we can chat :)

This is exactly my idea and that's why I've quit my job and flying to the SF next month but with 10% of 50k. Sure, I have very less time to figure out what I wanna do but vv hopeful to meet cracked and inspiring people along the way. I would love to talk to you and take some notes. 10 minutes, lmk :)))
