Many analytic philosophers have been impressed by Frege’s assertions that [phenomenon], therefore [brute posit that explains by fiat]. But I read a contemporaneous review and it said “this is like a peasant attributing everything to his household goblin”

“Einstein is the problem.” Eric Weinstein didn’t mince words on Triggernometry.
“Einstein is the problem.” Eric Weinstein didn’t mince words on Triggernometry. If general relativity holds, we’re trapped on one fragile planet. Even terraforming the Moon and Mars only gives us three reachable spheres — nowhere near enough diversification for long-term survival. A single catastrophe could wipe us all out because we all share the same atmosphere. The only real escape, he argues, is cracking physics beyond Einstein so we can get very far, very fast. Otherwise we’re stuck playing cosmic Russian roulette. It’s a sobering wake-up call about how dangerously misaligned our priorities have become.

The '80s called they want you to google 'connectionism'
It’s weird that before LLMs, it wasn’t even widely speculated that high-dimensional vectors encode Concepts, and the geometry of their relative positions encodes Meaning, in full generality. You’d think it’d have been a candidate hypothesis that was widely given 30% probability.

For those old enough to remember it: How did America get from the assassinations of the late 1960s and the political violence of the early 1970s to the relative calm of the 1980s and 1990s?
