But the point is you're trying to be trained out of using your physical intuition, you know, for the things that you're doing.

Because, again, like, you know, you can't see 10 dimensions.

You can not even barely see, like, you know.

four if it weren't three plus one.

So like, how do you, what can you physically do in this world where we clearly are interacting with certain energy scales, three plus one dimensions at a time?

How do you get out of that?

And then you build this intuition by computing things, I guess.

So then your intuitions are roughly a bunch of computations or a bunch of lower dimensional projections of things if you happen to have someone who can make nice figures.

Oh, God, I don't know.

But, yeah, I mean, my mom's very Catholic.

I don't know.

I think the thing is, like, that's a funny thing.

Physics probably tells you, like, gives you some sense of which questions you want to ask or not.

And I guess the right answer from a physics point of view is I don't know.

Luckily, I'm happier, so I guess I don't.

But, no, I think that the weirdest thing is often...

I can fight with people I think are friends in a fun way of like how to interpret the observer so like yeah like I definitely think that if you and I mean to the extent where we don't agree like I don't know actually who's right on it if like how much is the fact that like I am a me like somehow I feel like physics can still describe or it doesn't obviously like tell me I couldn't have um you know some objects that end up having these complicated like neural nets in them that

interact with the environment and it changes the set of it.

And so it feels like they're making decisions based on that.

But it's a different question than like, I feel I'm me and I interact with the world.
