## core themes - civilization as energy allocation system - ai revolution fundamentally about redirecting energy (not just intelligence) - human communication bandwidth limitations (39 bits/sec) - future of human connection post-superintelligence - compute as new currency (replacing traditional money) - tension between agency and efficiency ## personal anecdotes to integrate - diablo 2 trading experience at age 8 (learning english through pattern matching) - programming bots to gather items while sleeping (early glimpse of future economy) - markets naturally bypassing "official" systems (runes vs gold in games) - startups reshaping laws like uber/facebook (gods vs market forces) ## contrarian angles - ai isn't primarily about intelligence but energy redirection - most people miss that gpu allocation is the hidden revolution - language itself has become humanity's bottleneck for expression - three types of techbros: doomists, optimists, and doomists wearing optimist masks - democracy might not be right mechanism for deciding energy allocation ## style & approach - less ai fluff, more authentic voice - higher word-to-value density - focused narrative vs scattered ideas - use art/images to transcend language limitations - lowercase style throughout (authentic voice) - integrate mathematical/fractal imagery like riemann spheres, hyperbolic gardens - balance tech optimism with organic/human elements - paul graham essay standards: useful, surprising, authentic ## blog post structure 1. personal anecdote (diablo 2, bots) 2. energy flows and the human project (civilization as energy system) 3. the great energy redirection (gpus eating the world) 4. compute as the new currency (who controls future wealth) 5. beyond language: future human connection 6. the transhumanist's dilemma: agency vs efficiency 7. what keeps me up at night (personal reflection) ## draft intro options 1. in our age of superintelligence, words feel increasingly inadequate—language itself has become humanity's bottleneck. that's why this post relies primarily on images and art, mediums capable of expressing ideas beyond our current linguistic limits. 2. language, once our greatest tool, now feels like a constraint in the era of superintelligence. words alone can't capture the depth of our thoughts. for this reason, i've chosen to communicate mainly through images and art, which can convey meanings we don't yet have words for. 3. as we approach the age of superintelligence, human language seems more limited than ever—a narrow channel for the vastness of our ideas. this post, therefore, will speak mostly through images and art, forms that transcend linguistic boundaries and express what words cannot. ## subscription cta options 1. if you're drawn to independent thinking, hyperstition-driven explorations, and meditations on building utopian futures—subscribe to join the journey. 2. enjoy independently crafted ideas, hyperstitional reflections, and deep meditations on creating a utopian society? subscribe to stay connected. 3. for more independently thought-out, hyperstition-inspired meditations on shaping our utopian future, subscribe and let's explore together. ## poems for potential inclusion ### when souls like rivers flow when souls like rivers flow and blend, in worlds where thought and feeling mend, no longer bound by words alone, our hearts speak truths we've never known. in gardens grown beyond the stars, where love dissolves our ancient scars, we touch, we merge, we intertwine, in realms where flesh and dreams align. ### through hyperbolic gardens, we roam through hyperbolic gardens deep, where stars awake and planets sleep, our curious hearts, forever bold, explore the worlds yet untold. pain and love, twin suns that burn, guide our paths at every turn, in agony and ecstasy, we find our true humanity. ## data points to integrate - spoken language: ~150 words per minute - emotion transmission within 23-28 ms - global energy ratio decline: 34 in 1980 to 14-16 in 1991-2010 - human muscle power: 100-200w short term, 50-100w sustained - animal domestication increased power 10x to 300-500w premodern - horses could briefly deliver more than 2kw each ## related personal poetry themes - möbius loops of flesh and light - riemann spheres of neural light - hyperbolic gardens where parallel lines meet - tessellated dreams - through silicon and neural lace, each avatar a new interface - the wetware of our ancient core transforms to something more #blog-ideas #superintelligence #human-connection #energy-systems #transhumanism #hyperstition #utopia #AI
