My wife ruined me. I am forever vulnerable to redheads. It’s like 80% of your neurons become either numb or directed to pursuit. It’s terrible. It’s like a disease that randomly deprives you of free will. lol
(Somehow I think I’ll live).

I seem to have made another minor leap in my physical, psychological and cognitive recovery. I noticed it this morning when working with Martin and Francis.
Lesson is don’t burn yourself out to the point where you’re seriously ill. Because, while I could recover in a month or three when younger, this time, amplified by long covid, it took me years to recover. If not for Dr Brad and Dr Sally I probably wouldn’t be here today (certainly wouldn’t actually).
That said I”m having a nasty allergy night. lol

Self Awareness.
I’ve just become aware that I have subconsciously ‘priced in’ (meaning, predict the environment) for the next 30 years as an extraordinary contraction that is only offset by the promise of AI and automation – without which we would … let’s say, life would not be so good.

OMG this work is mentally exhausting.
Brad and I can work for five hours or more on historical analysis for the books. About four hours on causal analysis for the books. When it comes to the most difficult logic in the books, maybe three hours. But working on the protocols is so exhausting that at two hours we feel like begging for mercy.
My brain is scrambled eggs right now.
I don’t know how brad can maintain patience and interest. It’s crazy.

My local coffee shop and brunch spot having a bakery competition where locals bake and judge one another’s efforts.
This is what I love about living here. Good people. Families. And it’s too expensive for the riff raff.

I miss living in Ukraine every single day. Every single day. 😐

I work with some of the smartest and most moral men in the world. It’s an extraordinary privilege. Love all of you.

Does someone want to explain to me why I want to start and run another company? Especially in a space as speculative and disruptive as AI? Populated by overconfident overfunded over-their-head males? I must be nuts. Seriously. What about beaches, umbrella drinks, and enjoying a scenery populated by girls in bikinis, waiters with good manners, and palm trees? Or, heck, I could go back to fronting a venture capital firm, and intelligence gathering in strange places with loose laws, looser morals, and an endless supply of corrupt individuals on one end, and desperate social, economic, and political climbers on the other? Including women half my age that throw themselves at you in hope of salvation from abusive men, their laziness, semi-criminality alcoholism and deterministic poverty? Or heck, I could just retreat to some valley somewhere in europe and keep working on books and theory so my gravestone has a semi respectable epitaph. WTH am I doing? ;). Seriously. I’m nuts. … Not that my nuttery’s ever been other than a question. It’s just a good, or at least useful, and often profitable, kind of nuts… most of the time. lol

THOUGHTS ON THE COMING NEW SERFDOM
(Diary)
I’ve decided that getting up at 5am, driving to starbucks, getting a coffee and piece of bread, socializing with locals for a few minutes, then coming home and going back to bed for a few hours is a good thing. So is taking an afternoon or evening nap.
This means our ancestors who frequently took naps, and slept in two phases at night, knew what they were doing.
Does this mean that AI will let us give up on the industrial era ten hour work day when including travel, followed by a recommended eight hours of sleep when we really get maybe six and a half or seven?
These numbskulls who think minimum income redistribution is going to save us are even dumber than they sound. We’re going to have to build public commons instead of private consumption for a living.
And those who are in the private sector making all the decisions will increasingly thinking of the rest of the people as parasitic dependents otherwise.
AI Era ‘dependents’, capitalist era ‘taxpayers’, Industrial era ‘workers’, Feudalism and serfs, Rome and slaves, the powerful and the weak. Never ends. Ever. Sigh…

Cat making a racket outside. Young Male. Very fluffy white-orange. Why? Wants to bring me dead things as a present. (sigh). It’s not even my cat. I just let him in when he wants attention. And see? I get presents. (sigh)
I don’t want dead presents. 😉
