Another unrelated question that may be intriguing to some:

How do you manage to maintain a writing output that's as prolific as it is?

OK, some of your productivity may be due to high intelligence, but unusual levels of productivity require many beneficial habits, the elimination of distractions, leveraging flow states and a clever use of the body's reward system to supercharge motivation.

In short, exceptional productivity requires excellent self-leadership, and self-leadership is very granular, very habitual, and often quite specific to each individual.

An article about what works for you in terms of productivity would be very interesting indeed, and probably beneficial to the success of many readers.

Oh wait…has anyone informed Miles Mathis about Vox’s new book?

Aaron Kulkis's avatar

If I understand Mathis, he will most likely have zero disagreement with the book. First, he will be predisposed to supporting it, because it's anti-narrative, also because he's Christian (nominally Catholic?) and thus more open-minded to reasoned argument than atheists (who, in general, are only open-minded to emotional arguments.).

Miles is doing to Particle Physics and Calculus what Vox is doing to the narrative of how mankind came to be what we are, here on Earth. Both are destroying pretty myths, and introducing rigorous reassessment.

I saw Vox in a FB reel from a darkstream. No name was mentioned, but it shows how far the SSH has gone already

Gammas are the lossy AIs of the human world.

Anything to validate and dodge.

My favorite part was reading that Vox wrote the scientific papers that the gamma alleged he was misapplying. So great.

Just moved to Mass. Gammas seem to be the largest group. Is that normal? Maybe cyclic?

I find myself rooting for the collapse.

Harvard and it's extreme attraction to, and entertainment of gammas.

This is why Boston is among the top 5 cities which, if given the opportunity today, would jump at the opportunity to vote to install a dictatorial monarchy, despite the fact that Boston and the nearby suburbs literally led the way to military conflict with a dictatorial monarch sitting on the other side of the cruel North Atlantic Ocean.

It's easy to know when a gamma lies. His mouth is moving.

The vacuum of intellectual curiosity along with the colossal hubris of these people is astounding. What kind of person "trusts the science" without question, when science used to believe the sun revolved around the earth? And you'd get imprisoned for stating otherwise.

Yeah well the joke's on you! This made me come!

The Frozen Gene is brilliant. Thank you again!

I have spent a few hours working through the math. It is now easy to do using a couple of AIs. The math checks out. The only errors I have found so far are clear typos. It is easy to pontificate. It is better to do the darn work yourself and double check what you are reading.

It makes sense why Sigma Game is coming out after the MITTENS books; they are irresistible bait for Gamma-swarms, and will be great examples of subject-matter expert walls-of-text. I wonder if any Gammas will delete their one-star Amazon reviews of Probability Zero once they see they are being quoted in Sigma Game. Not holding my breath.

Mile High Bear's avatar

With the word "Sigma" in the title of the upcoming book, we know at least a fair amount of Gammas will swarm. You may not be holding your breath very long, Dan.

Looking forward to reading it.

I don't think the repeated chanting of "the science...the science" is going to ward off the evil dark lord spirits.

The Rogue Roman's avatar

That euphoric atheist has probably done more for Christian evangelism than all the missionary boards on earth.

Masked Menace's avatar

Be wary Rogue Roman, they may rebuke you with the all powerful incantation of "the science... the science...". My God! Nothing can stand against such magic.

Masked Menace's avatar

I note a lot more passion than informed dispassionate scientific rebuttal in the book reviews. The detractors might as well be dancing naked around a bonfire to the rhythmic sound of drum beats chanting "The science... the science!" over and over again.
