I share a collection of scientific and religious end-of-the-world scenarios, covering everything from cosmic events to theological apocalypses. It is a fascinating look at the many ways we imagine the final destruction of our planet.
I shared insights from Antonio Damasio showing that emotional processing in the orbitofrontal cortex is essential for decision-making. Without feelings to filter options, pure logic fails to function effectively in real-world scenarios.
I curated a collection of resources exploring complexity science and networked systems. The links cover the twelve principles of the networked world, the nature of complex adaptive systems, and speculative 'what if' scenarios in artificial intelligence.
I've shared a resource on surviving extreme emergencies like plane crashes, riots, and vehicle brake failure. It covers practical tactics for dire situations and even includes advice for more improbable events like alien abductions.
I explored the Federation of American Scientists' index of global military operations and was surprised to learn that India was considered at war. It provides a sobering look at active conflicts around the world.
Letting LLMs talk to each other creates surprisingly rich emergent behavior, from witty fictional banter to unsettling philosophical dialogues and useful synthetic interview formats.
