A Stream of Consciousness

• a clear litmus test is take a laymen (non-experts) and bridge multiple persons across the inferences
• this takes work and is very much an empirical process
• since it’s a skillset of communication and finding shorthand for each specific person based on their backgrounds and conceptual mapping
• though it’s certainly possible

now summarize this entire stream to as many people as possible- feel free to be lengthy to capture all the important points and inferences- use short bullet points for each point-inference


Here’s a bulleted summary of the key points and inferences from the entire stream of consciousness:

  • Knowledge sharing is critical for progress but faces social barriers like desire for alpha and tribal localization. Public note-taking is a new paradigm.

  • Efficient knowledge management frees mental RAM. Product development involves core tradeoffs. Writing benefits investors more than operators.

  • Higher-level ideas can be incrementally shared internally without full public disclosure. Communication protocols are evolving rapidly.

  • Political problems link to technology issues around governance, incentives, freedoms. Regulation leaves room for interpretation based on competing interests.

  • Social reality emerges from intersecting incentive networks. Rules respond to context and enforcement capabilities. Cryptography enables coordination.

  • Human leisure time will increase with automation. Power will shift from physical to financial/reputational domains. Truths shape values and resource flows.

  • Multi-disciplinary consilience validates unconventional ideas. Individual exploration followed by collective diligence resolves tradeoffs.

  • AI can accelerate inferential bridging by summarizing, simplifying, sequencing, personalizing. Internet IO is maximized when thoughts are uploaded then translated.

  • Capitalism risks becoming neo-feudalism via tribally captured convexity. Meritocracy erodes as groups override institutions.

  • Experiential knowledge underpins inferences. Translating ideas for the layperson is an empirical communications skill, iterating explanations tailored to mental models.

  • Discursive thought parallels venture capital and research funding ecosystems. Investment provides runway for developing creative leaps.

  • The desire for meaning and significance is the deepest driver behind struggles over existential truth. A void of purpose risks violence and domination.

  • In summary, the stream covers issues around knowledge sharing, values, human psychology, technological and social evolution. It explores communication challenges, governance systems, innovation ecosystems, and the metaphysical quest for purpose.
