The goal of the science is to reduce the many to the one.

Not sure what new groundbreaking truth did Schmidhuber discover with his "history of science is a history of compression progress"?

It was known explicitly since Sir William Hamilton and implicitly since Plato.

“What is that which always is (*in the same state) and has no becoming (*and perishing), and what is that which is always becoming (*and perishing) but never is (*in the same state)?"

- Plato, Timaeus 27d

Sufficient just means it is not arbitrary - cannot be otherwise. You cannot ask why this reason and not the other one.

Explanation is an answer to the question "why?". Every explanation contains reason. So if I ask you why one plus one equals two, you will say "the REASON why one plus one equals two is because of that and that."

Thus, the name - The Principle of sufficient reason ie explanation.

Compression is not a problem. But decompression is a bummer.

Generalizing from particular is easy. How to particularize the general, is hard.

Law of homogeneity vs the law of specification.

Context is what matters in both.

"He says, doesn’t he, that man is "the measure of all things," and that things are to me as they appear to me, and are to you as they appear to you." (Plato, Cratylus 386a; )

What is Tree for me is Tree for me, and what is Tree for you is Tree for you.

FED Chairman on Steam Lead the U.S. economy: adjust rates, deploy QE/QT, and balance inflation with employment in this macro-strategy sim.

Just raising taxes would be enough to also move rates down.

There are no contexts, there are only problems to solve.

Context is a word used to describe abstract concepts used in order to solve certain problems.

But what if you can solve problems without using abstract concepts?

With the rise of AI focus will shift from learning to discovering.

“Neural networks just wants to learn”

They already are good at learning existing knowledge, but they’re not good at discovering new knowledge.

If everyone adopts Taleb's philosophy of optionality, being outside of the ring, waiting for rare event to collect payoff - GDP would collapse immediately.

I ask ChatGpt to recommend me authors who were inspiration to Schopenaheur's theory of abstraction; he outputs the most generic authors but not Thomas Reid which Schop sourced.

The same thing when I asked for critics of Stoicism - he does not mention Macaulay which had the most devastating critic.

I think, if recession happens, it would not be gradual but "sudden stop" caused by panic from some event nobody predicted.
Every recession is caused by some initial trigger that introduces panic and through it fall in demand (nominal gdp)

Thomas Reid on purpose in life being either particular or general.

This is powerful. It was written in the same time Kant wrote about "categorical imperative".
Essays on the active powers of the human mind - Thomas Reid

You keep forgetting another player in the game - FED. He has the control over money printer.

Not what? Tariff’s inflation is not caused by increased money supply. So FED can’t do anything. It’s ECON 101.
I’m just not sure how financial markets are not seeing this

FED Chairman game is soon on Steam for wishlisting.

Interesting...

Tariffs produce supply side inflation not demand side inflation. FED interest rates can not control supply side inflation so it is often ignored and it is temporary and reversible.

Isn't that what they wanted? The goal is to reduce interest rates.

Why animal will always miss a flight? Because animal is always on autopilot. No pun intended.

Every time you doomscroll you are bombarded with motives from ever changing perception.

Animals can not think in abstractions and this is why they can not:

Plan
Coordinate
Speak
Laugh
Build complex machinery
Do science
Have deliberate action (agency)

It all requires abstract representation as second brain

Having abstract representation on top of perceptual representation is what makes us different from animals.

Perception is always changing and thus motives are always fleeting. But abstract concepts NEVER changes due to changes in perception and this is way we can PLAN and EXECUTE it TOMORROW.

The fact that I can book a flight for tommorow and actually show up is only possible because I am guided by ABSTRACT motive independent of present perception.

Animals can not do that as animal is always guided by motives that appear in perception so he is destined to always live in "the present"

Our brothers animals are rejoicing anytime someone doomscrolls on X and Tiktok as it makes us closer to them again
As Schopenhauer said animal actions are guided by motives in present perception but humans can have also abstract concepts as motives which makes our life so much different and rational

The more someone can generalise the more is he intelligent.

Arthur Schopenhauer

It's funny how raising taxes is probably the best thing this administration can do given their goals.

That would immediately decrease inflation, public debt, budged&trade deficit.

Honda does not have advanced AI that can control it

There will be threshold after which no amount of investment can break shield.
