Going through my kindle because I’ve got a couple of hours free and my head is tired of my own work. And, realizing I haven’t read a book since Reich’s that wasn’t a disappointment and reducible to bullet points in a ten or twenty page paper. And I can’t remember the last book before that that was worth reading. Fukuyama’s later books on history and trust yes. But so little in the past twenty. And almost nothing after 09 which was the tipping point I think.

And I don’t like the pattern I think I”m seeing … which is in my own work, yes we know the structure of the universe and the unification of the sciences, and this hierarchy of simple rules that everything in our world is made from.

So, …. I have to do some work on this but, does all this mean what I think it does? Is AI just going to help us with synthesis at the margins, and minor innovation within them? Or does it mean that the attack on reality by the left has succeeded so thoroughly that aside from a few niches, we really have gabbed all the low hanging fruit of scientific discovery across all fields?

Every time we thought so before we were wrong, but we were wrong in a very small number of very small ways.
