being under your main name, everything being attributable to you. People just are afraid to speak, explore ideas that aren't fully formed, right? And I feel like we've lost something there.

So, I hope, you know, platforms like X and others like really help support people trying to stay pseudonymous or anonymous because it's really important for people to share thoughts that aren't fully formed and converge onto maybe hidden truths that were hard to converge upon. If it was just through open conversation with real names.

I think to me, the reason I went to theoretical physics was that I had to learn the base of the stack that was going to stick around no matter how the technology changes, right? And to me, that was the foundation upon which then I later built engineering skills and other skills. And to me, the laws of physics, it may seem like the landscape right now is changing so fast, it's disorienting.

But certain things like fundamental mathematics and physics aren't going to change. And if you have that knowledge and knowledge about complex systems and adaptive systems, I think that's going to carry you very far. And so not everybody has to study mathematics, but I think it's really a huge cognitive unlock to learn math and some physics and engineering.

Get as close to the base of the stack as possible. Yeah, that's right, because the base of the stack doesn't change. Everything else, your knowledge might become not as relevant in a few years. Of course, there's a sort of transfer learning you can do, but then you have to always transfer learn constantly.

Right, right. And you'd be surprised, once you've learned concepts in many... physical scenarios, how they can carry over to understanding other systems that aren't necessarily physics. And I guess like the IAC writings, you know, the principles and tenet posts that was based on physics, that was kind of my experimentation with
