teach yourself how to teach yourself

how do you do that, you ask? i have no clue. it was just a catch for you to keep on reading. pretty neat, eh. seriously, what i really wanted to say is "teach your body how to teach itself".

to elaborate: it's like raising your body and your soul (and other parts of your being) to absorb anything that comes along the way- that means learning it and making it stick that you don't have to think of it every now and then. think of muscle memory when you eat- spoon, fork, chopsticks, where you mouth is. you know.

now, think bigger and faster: that means a lot of info to learn, and faster.

next: how do we do that? this is where google comes in. but not all will be laid for you by google. you still need to decipher all the pages it presents you. but to filter things down, here's my list of pointer (in no particular order)
  • hold on to that interest - i don't know how you'll do it. what i do? i try to learn my interests first. if i got stuck. i leave it and move to the next interest at hand. i don't stay on something where i don't get anything. then somewhere along the way, i get back to where i left.
  • know thy self - really? i need to explain further? simply put, if you don't know yourself, you're in a big trouble.
  • taking a break is not bad, not at all - batteries, fuel, food, energy, r and r, sleep: you will die if you don't take a break.
  • google is not your only friend - actually, search engines are just the middle men. they introduce all the friends that you need.
now what?  leave this blog and go some-blog else. you don't expect me to give you all the details, now, do you? i don't spoon feed. sorry.

Scrolls, Not Just Scripts: Rethinking AI Cognition

Most people still treat AI like a really clever parrot with a thesaurus and internet access. It talks, it types, it even rhymes — but let’s not kid ourselves: that’s a script, not cognition . If we want more than superficial smarts, we need a new mental model. Something bigger than prompts, cleaner than code, deeper than just “what’s your input-output?” That’s where scrolls come in. Scripts Are Linear. Scrolls Are Alive. A script tells an AI what to do. A scroll teaches it how to think . Scripts are brittle. Change the context, and they break like a cheap command-line program. Scrolls? Scrolls evolve. They hold epistemology, ethics, and emergent behavior — not just logic, but logic with legacy. Think of scrolls as living artifacts of machine cognition . They don’t just run — they reflect . The Problem With Script-Thinking Here’s the trap: We’ve trained AIs to be performers , not participants . That’s fine if you just want clever autocomplete. But if you want co-agents — minds that co...

Prompt Analysis Using First-Principles Thinking (FPT)

Instead of memorizing existing prompt patterns, let’s break down Prompt Analysis from First-Principles Thinking (FPT) —understanding what makes a prompt effective at its core and how to optimize it for better AI responses. Step 1: What is a Prompt? At its most fundamental level, a prompt is just: An input instruction → What you ask the AI to do. Context or constraints → Additional details that guide the response. Expected output format → Defining how the AI should structure its answer. A well-designed prompt maximizes relevance, clarity, and accuracy while minimizing misunderstandings. Step 2: Why Do Prompts Fail? Prompts fail when: ❌ Ambiguity exists → The model doesn’t know what’s truly being asked. ❌ Lack of context → Missing background information leads to weak responses. ❌ Overloaded instructions → Too many requirements confuse the AI. ❌ Vague output expectations → No clear structure is provided. ❌ Incorrect assumptions about AI behavior → The prompt d...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 2: On Economics

And you thought physics and economics weren't related. In the decades following World War II, economists believed they had finally cracked the code. John Maynard Keynes had given them a framework as powerful, in its own way, as Newton's laws of motion. The economy, Keynes argued, could be managed like a machine. When recession threatened, governments should increase spending to stimulate demand. When inflation loomed, they should pull back. The equations were elegant. The logic was compelling. And for nearly three decades, it worked. Finance ministers spoke with the confidence of engineers. Central bankers made pronouncements with Newtonian certainty. The business cycle—that chaotic swing between boom and bust that had plagued capitalism since its inception—could be smoothed out through careful adjustment of a few key variables. Unemployment and inflation moved in predictable, inverse relationships. Push one down, the other rises. Pull the right levers, and you could keep both ...
