Last night I couldn’t sleep. The mind was wound tight. I have refound my passion for computing and I was hacking away at my Linux box, installing, coding, tinkering & reading all things computing.
Then I came across two videos at 1 am. Argh…
One was by Steve Yegge. An old hero of mine as he is an Emacs/Lisp evangelist and I just love Emacs with all its flaws. He is a high level tech nerd, soft spoken, that has worked at some of the biggest companies on this earth, now retired and making YouTube videos about his experiences. Its absolutely superb.
The Second one was an interview of Andrew Tate. Tate is a 4 time Ex-Kickboxing World champion and somewhat of an Internet celebrity. He likes to live life large, very large and has a mouth to match his punches. He bangs more girls daily than I can eat chips in an evening. He flaunts his Lamborghinis and has started a platform called Hustler’s University amongst other things, in which I think everyone is being majorly hustled. Dope.
Two very different men.
First let me link you to each video. Here’s Steve (30mins):
And here is Andrew (1h40mins):
Combined viewing time of 2h10mins.
The Vikid Truth doesn’t come cheap and neither does sleep!
I hope you enjoy.
What I want you to notice is how both these guys, semi-geniuses in my opinion, have noticed something. Watch Steve first if you can.
That something is that something big, ginormously big, is happening.
Steve tries to be diplomatic, Tate just goes for the jugular. Both diagnose the issue in their own unique way. Steve, in that overly lefty-liberal-bend-over kind of way. Tate with that brazen anarchic lens.
Both are right.
Steve is scientific and uses natural philosophy. Tate’s reaction is visceral and instinctual.
One bends over for ‘the man’, the other gives him a haymaker.
Both are wildly successful in their own domains. Both are wealthy. Both see what is happening through their own eyes and both find solutions that work.
It’s the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra applied to Humanity.
Any polynomial of degree n has n roots *
* but we may need to use complex numbers
Yes we need to think out of the box, one dimensional numbers (ideas) are insufficient and we will have multiple root (solutions). The world is NP.
The question is which solution do you want to choose? And before that, can you see the multiple roots? Or even worse, can you even see the problem?
I highly recommend you watch the videos. Play them in the background when you go for a run or wash some dishes. Turn off that blasted Netflix it is rotting your brain.
