applying some of the thinking from out of equilibrium thermodynamics to understanding the world around us. And it's led to, to EAC and this, this movement.

No. I think fundamentally in thermodynamic dissipative adaptation, there's the word dissipation. Dissipation is important. Death is important, right? We have a saying in physics, physics progresses one funeral at a time. Yeah. I think the same is true for capitalism, companies, empires, people, everything. Everything must die at some point.

I think that we should probably extend our lifespan because we need a longer period of training because the world is more and more complex. We have more and more data to really be able to predict and understand the world. And if we have a finite window of higher neuroplasticity, then we have sort of a hard cap in how much we can understand about our world.

So I think I am for death because, again, I think it's important if you have a king that would never die, that would be a problem, right? The system wouldn't be constantly adapting, right? You need novelty, you need youth, you need disruption to make sure the system's always adapting and malleable. Otherwise, if things...

are immortal, you know, if you have, let's say, corporations that are there forever and they have the monopoly, they get calcified, they become not as optimal, not as high fitness in a changing, time-varying landscape, right? And so, death gives space for youth and novelty to take its place, and I think it's an important part of every system in nature. So, yeah, I am for death.

But I do think that longer lifespan and longer time for neuroplasticity, bigger brains should be something we should strive for.

I think I have ideas and things I'd like to achieve in this world before I have to go, but I don't think I'm necessarily afraid of death. So you're not attached to this particular body and mind that you got? No, I think I'm sure there's going to be better versions of myself in the future. Forks. Forks, right? Genetic forks or other, right? I truly believe that.

I think there's a sort of evolutionary-like algorithm happening at every bit or nap in the world. It's sort of adapting through this... process that we described in EAC. And I think maintaining this adaptation malleability is how we have constant optimization of the whole machine. And so I don't think I'm particularly, you know, an optimum that needs to stick around forever.
