I think the way ORI works is you pour attention onto anyone who asks for it, and if good things happen, you pour capital on it. And if good things happen, you pour a little more attention, then more capital. And right now we're mostly trying to figure out the right mix

I’ve got the prime number madness. I see this thing. The primes are where they are because it is the specific structure necessary for addition and multiplication to work the way they do. For any integer X, there is exactly one integer X-1 and there is exactly one prime…

This is useful, yup! It is a lot about pattern matching with intuition. Not an expert, but when I see the theta part of Euler’s formula, with the 2 pi and k terms, it usually tells me how many repeating cycles of a pattern you want. Maybe a better way to describe 2 pi is to…

Did anyone ever figure out why people were so hysterical about 5G towers? I feel like the seed of the idea is probably something real. What was that seed that people latched onto? How did it spread?
