It is all about me!

you have nothign to prove, except theorems

Wow, what a bunch of nonsense: Hootenanny Talks w/ Rupert Sheldrake
Rupert Sheldrake

Science my friend is based on mathematics.
As my sifu would say - science and math they are RELATED.
You cannot have science without mathematics.
The certainty in science is mathematical certainty. It is the belief that under the hood of the universe there is a simple set of rules that govern the way things behave.
One common reality. Observer independent.
Modern Realism perhaps it should be called.
Think of it as a book handed down by God. The Old Testament (Torah) dictates the rules of life for human beings… well there is the “scientific tree of knowledge” that dictates the way matter interacts.
( I don’t know if an olive has a consciousness but for sure a slab of concrete has no “soul”!!! )
And this is why physics is the shit and everything else is the b-shit. Physics is absolute. It is the closest science that is like mathematics. All the way up there with computer science which is some sort of new-world math. Or it can be.
Bioloy is a bunch of random tests and inferences….
… not too clear how you “prove” something there.

The axioms of physics are:

• Temporal and spacial invariance of the laws of physics. (so if you measure c here, then you will measure c elsewhere no matter what frame of reference or acceleration or how quantum you are. Call it the “c is c” rule.
• Quantum Mechanics as a closed source black box with good documentation but no real idea about what is going on inside. Call this “quantum mechanics as a tool”

Physics is not math. These axioms ‘could’ be wrong. But this ‘could’ is unlikely in the Descartian sense of knowledge.
Like this would be number 9. and 10. in the list of axiomatically true statements rooting back to the Descarte question “I think therefore I am” and I can doubt anything else.

1. I am because I am thinking.
2. There is a physical world out there that is universal and shared.
3.

yada yada yada…

9. Temporal and spacial invariance
10. Quantum Mechanics

All this to say that without the axiomatical clinical certainty that mathematics can provide is at a higher level of intellectual activity — above religious and spiritual revelations.
I would question any hand-wavy new-age theory of the world that claims validity.
And as a great gift to the scientific community I will voice the general guidelines.
IF YOUR THEORY HAS NO EQUATIONS IN IT -
THEN IT CANNOT BE USEFUL FOR SCIENCE.

It sucks. There was chances but not enough. Pavel Nedved had a kick-ass shot but the goalie was haveing none of it. I am dissapointed but I think I can live-on.
Is Ghana my new favorite?
Argentina plays well maybe they will win…. Who the hell cares now that the Czechs are out!

Now work!

Again. Last minute late night work ahead. I moved the writing from the document to the latex beamer presentation and the transition was smooth.
Now I just have to fill… hmm.. i don’t know 40 minutes of material!

I am going to bed at 4AM so that leaves me 4h of productive time.
Wake-up at 8AM and by 10 I should be good for presenting that shit!

Lets go Ivan. Good old times. You. A self-induced challenge. A silent night.
Represent!

My heart is not into it. I am not sure what my heart is into but QI is not it.
Certainly I want to keep studying all kinds of things, pure math and physics and all kinds of shit.
But I want to be a tourist - not a scientist.
I am fascinated by many things. I feel many things are important and should be studied. I feel that Quantum Information is one of these fields and that there are many things that I could do in the field. It is the coolest shit I have seen. Yet my heart is not into it.
Now maybe my current thoughts can be dismissed as the usual depression phenomenon on a day after a lot of pot smoking but maybe there is also a strand of truth in the way I feel right now. What is true, is that lately I have been more and more fascinated by business ideas and political thoughts. Suddenly Quantum Information is turning into a side-interest.

What is fucked-up is that I am immersed in the best possible environment for productivity. It is terrible when you can’t blame anyone else … kind of like being alone in a room and smelling B.O. Clealy– there is noone else in the room so it must be you.

Seriously! Not having a girlfriend for long enough can have deep impacts on a person. I am rethinking the entire meaning of my life… on the other hand I seem to be doing this pretty much on a monthly basis so it is not something completely out of the ordinary.

I need to take a year off school. I need a fuckin’ break. Litterally!

Life is good.
Well… I haven’t found a hot chick willing to spend time with me but still I am happy.
I swear to god the pot consumption in YUL must have tripled since the new anti-tobacco law. Everyone is outside and while smoking but the joint+beer way of life suddenly becomes much more feasible. I was chilling in the mile end last night. I got some coffee, smoked a little something something and then went to a pub with Patrick and his femme du jour. Good times. I enjoyed speaking French.

I am inventing a new latex font for wing chun movements. For now I will borrow symbols from other packages but eventually I will have a custom font. It works pretty well and I surround moves with \ovalbox{} which makes the presentation neat. Maybe with this I can finally remember the dummy form!

The eyes. Did you ever think about how much information gets accross when you look someone in the eyes? They say the eyes are a window to the soul. I am not sure quite what the word “soul” refers to and how to make sense of that claim but I have my own theory.
Consider the brain as a processor of some kind. The subconsciousness is a processor with many threads but for simplicity assume that there is one dominant thread. I think that when you talk with someone and look at their eyes you can tell something about what the main threat that is running in their head right now is.
Can’t you tell immediately when someone is not interested in what you are talking about?
Can’t you tell when someone is angry at you and is waiting to hear whay you say but really he has something else to say already and it doesn’t matter what comes out of your mouth — they are already pissed and irrational and want to say what they want to say?
I find this fascinating. I think this is partly why the entire industry of sun glasses exists.

So basically if you are talking to a chick and this is going on in your head: “Wow, nice tits.” “What is she talking about…” “Oh shit I forgot her name, that is bad… A… Alice?, Alex?, Ann?, B… Betty?, C… Cath.? …” “Wow nice tits.” “I wonder if one of her roomates would like to join us.” “Make a move make a move make a move.” “Really nice tits, what I would like to do to them… support them,…. heehe yeah support.,… techinical support. 1 800 I HOLD EM”
Then chances are the person will see what is on your mind. Right there. Not that there is anything wrong with it - I mean there are people out there that live like this. But it is a problem if you are trying to have an intellectual conversation. Talking/Teaching physics and thinking about these things shows you are a hyppocrite. Basically a lack of integrity. And I am all about integrity.

Ma cheque lé. I got the coffee. I got the couch. Above all, the THC concentrations have decreased and today there is hope that I will engage in productive behaviour. Lets see it happen.

“Hip hop is not dead - it is really the mind of the MC.”

Lately I have been getting big thoughts. I am realizing more and more where I live and what is happening around me. I am starting to see the system, how things flow around and why things get done in this world. We live in a world of money-mediated order. The link between any cause and every effect is the cash.
I don’t like it one bit. Everything that is not right in this world is visible and obvious. Everoyone sees what is going on and no one does anything about it. “These are the times”, they say and join-in on the action.
The corporate paradigm has managed to distribute the responsability. Well the public corps at least. They are in the business of guilt spreading:
“I did it for the shareholders, it is not my fault”
“I just buy stocks, I never tested on any Africans.”

I am not sure what i am going to do about it.
The first step is understanding. I need to read some political philopsphy too. Who came after Locke?
Ultimately I think I am going to be a politician. I will be corrupt but only sexually :)

Ok now. Let’s not waste the coffee high thinking about non-sense.

The plans for this weekend made a 180 turn the moment I realized, last Friday, that I am not presenting the talk this tuesday but the next one. Come on! I have a week to go I am not going to do any work — are you crazy?

Instead I had a weekend of sin and going to La Boom. What a terrible place that is. Sure there were some bitches but not the right type for me. I must say - I am truly talanted because I met of friend in the club who for sure the moment she met me I could tell was going to sleep with me. Like for sure. And then I made the move at the wrong moment and then nothing happened. Talent. Religious people who value chastity should take notes!

In other news, I had a new business idea come to me. I will go to Kuwait and teach math there. The money can get re-invested in the business immediately and I can be pimpin’. I am not sure if will be able to voice my political views though: and there will be plenty of reason to do so while in that neck of the woods. The idea is to make lots of money. I would also consider being a male prostitue on the side for pretty kuwaity girls.

The weekend was VERY chill. The Saturday rained on me but I had herbal backup to keep the morals up. Arlo is freaking out because of his work and is coding 24/7 in order to make good progress. It doesn’t really help that he smokes joints every 2 hours but I guess it is a compatible state of mind with PHP coding. He is doing a pretty good job given that his boss doesn’t really know what she wants.
So we burned. He worked. I played James Bond 007 on the PS2 and the day passed by. Sunday started with the soccer as it should and then we chilled in the office for a bit. My office is super pimping now that I have a couch in it. Represent.

Now it is time to go to UofM to listen to a talk.
