In this post I’m going to try and explain in the most basic terms (my) understanding of quantum mechanics. I may not nail it completely for all standards, but hopefully you’ll leave the article with at least some more insight into what’s going on… and…
1. Anti-Aging through Genetic Engineering is probably the one we’re going to figure out first as we already have some really smart people working on the problem, like Audrey DeGrey from SNES. The idea here is to look at what causes biological aging, and figure out…
This weekend I hacked together a 3d printed pennyboard! The 4 pieces were printed on a MakerGear M2, with no supports. Each piece took about ~6 hours to print, so total print time for the project was around 22 hours. After fitting the pieces together,…
Main Riffs: – Humans are chemical code. – Encephalization Quotient: the ratio between actual brain mass and predicted brain mass for an animal of a given size, which is hypothesized to be a rough estimate of the intelligence or cognition of the animal. – 1…
I was watching a documentary on military drones and it sparked an interesting line of thinking I’m going to explore further in this essay. The basic thought started when they were showing off a fleet of beautifully complex drones and what they’re used for. The…

Learning is one of my favorite things to do. There’s nothing that matches the high you get from connecting the dots – when everything ‘clicks’ and suddenly, what was once utter confusion, becomes a tool for your mind. You’ve slain the dragon. This process of epiphany…
Empirically, Bitcoin seems to be growing exactly how it should for long-term sustainability – the problem is, even with tons of adoption…we’re seeing a tumbling price. Why? Here’s one possible explanation: It’s a growth phase where one side of the system outpaces the other – typically referred to as ‘growing pains’….
So, this line of thinking started when I found a cool little magicians prop on Amazon. It’s basically a walking stick that ‘appear’s out of thin air. The trick is it’s one big spring and when you let go (or throw it in the air) it instantly ‘snaps’…
Here’s a quick essay I did a while ago but didn’t publish. It starts to get really technical and slightly hard to follow near the end – you’ve been warned! My thoughts on how to execute this type of system have changed, but I still think there’s a lot…
