Enthalpy of hydration is negative because adding H2O within the lattice neutralizes the repulsion between ions with like charges. Neutralizing the repulsion decreases the potential energy withing the lattice and therefore results in a negative enthalpy.

for - meme - all over of us - Donald Hoffman

for - explanation - why minimising surprise is a good definition of intelligence - Donald Hoffman - it's very intelligent to minimize surprise - I'm surprised all the time - I'm pretty stupid right, I don't understand the world very well - but if I'm NOT surprised, it's like I've got a really good model especially if I'm doing lots of stuff in the world and I'm almost never surprised - boy am I I'm really intelligent! - So, you can see why that's a really good principle for trying to build an AI, - not just finding correlations between everything, - but really something deeper.

for - adjacency - existential isolation - footprints in the sand - noone will care for us a thousand years from now - Milarepa - alone vs loneliness - Donald Hoffman - I've often thought about this on walks in nature - plants sit next to each other, - some just sprouting, - others in full, vibrant maturity, - some withering, - and others dead and decayed - life and death are juxtapositioned - A blade of grass may live and die without the rest of the world knowing anything about it - When a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear? - To live a life embodying the sacred, it doesn't matter if no-one knows anything about you - and yet, in contrast, biology and psychology tells us e are social beings, INTERbeings by nature - How do we reconcile these opposites? - Milarepa - the yogi living in solitude mountain retreat - in a yogic song I wrote, there's a difference between being alone and loneliness - How do we flip the loneliness of existential isolation of being human - to the fullness of the boundless wisdomin the aloneness of one particular headset in this lifetime?

New meme - the fullness of being alone - the Fullness of Emptiness

for - youtube - Diary of a CEO - interview - Donald Hoffman - youtube - title - seeing true reality would kill us

summary - I really enjoyed this interview with Donald Hoffman and found it very enriching on menu levels - He articulates many of the same insights as well as questions I have encountered in my own life journey - I didn't realize he had suffered long Covid and almost died of heart failure due to it - His own personal encounter with death makes his interview even more poignant and makes him more human, as he has gone through the litmus test of life and death - I found that he shared many of the same concerns, insights and paradoxes I face as a living and dying human INTERbeCOMing journeying through life. -

for - adjacency - heart of Christianity - shoe love to your abusers - Donald Hoffman

for - adjacency - letting go - of knowledge - of theories - Donald Hoffman - I've often felt as he does - it's a conundrum of letting go of that (knowledge) we've invested so heavily into - quote / key insight - letting go of theories of science and self - Donald Hoffman - Science is great, but don't believe any theory. <br /> - Theories are just tools. They're not the truth. - No scientific theory, my theories included, are the truth. - And so also is my theory about who I am not the truth. - So to really let go of any theory, if I can really let go of any theory of who I am, then I'll let go of any fear

for - A Answer - the infinite knows itself though infinite number of perspectives - Donald Hoffman

for - Q ? - What is the meaning of life - Donald Hoffman

for - example - hard problem of consciousness - Simulation Theory - Donald Hoffman

for - adjacency - subjective vs objective reality - examining our most fundamental assumptions of reality, self and other Donald Hoffman - This is a difficult one for many people who reify objective reality to understand - It requires deep analysis and insight into our fundamental assumptions of how we employ anguage, learned while we were in our child development stage - Donald Hoffman is asking us to take that journey to uproot these most fundamental assumptions of self and other, long forgotten, but thoughtlessly projected into the present moment like an automaton

for - key insight / quote - the reason to love your neighbor - Donald Hoffman - The reason to love your neighbor as yourself is because - your neighbor IS YOUR (TRUE) SELF, just with a different headset. - And the only reason we have problems is - we don't realize how incredible you are. - So you are that which is creating this VR simulation with all of its beauty, all of its complexity. - All the complexity is you and you're doing it effortlessly.

adjacency - infinite intelligence - hologram metaphor - your neighbor is your (true) self - Deep Humanity motto - Join together (instead of Join us) - face behind the mask - Reflecting on this, it occurred to me that the Deep Humanity motto of "Join together, NOT join me/us" is deeply connected to what is being discussed in this annotation. - The problem with "joining me" is that it reflects we are still stuck in the ego reification paradigm while "join together" reflects awareness that the boundless intelligence is the true face behind the mask of each different species and each different individual of each species

for - key insight / quote - the reified ego is the root cause of all the problems in the world - we reify because we don't know who we REALLY are - Donald Hoffman - All the egoic stuff that we do causes all the problems in the world because - you don't know who you are. - You're creating this whole thing. - You're not a little player. - You're the inventor of this whole thing. - You have nothing to prove and - you don't need to be better than anybody else. - They're also master creators. - They're creating entire universes that they perceive as well. - And my own take on on this is that - you and I are really the same one reality - just looking at itself through two different headsets, - two different avatars and having a conversation. - And maybe that's what is required for this one infinite intelligence to sort of know itself.

• adjacency - poverty mentality - ego - problems of the world - samsara - nirvana - hologram model - Alan Watts - God playing hide and seek - Donald Hoffman
• When we don't believe we can be this, we limit ourselves
  • That is, we suffer from self-inflicted poverty mentality
• When he says we are the one same reality,
  • he is echoing the common spiritual teaching of the holographic metaphor where
    • the one nameless is distilling itself in so many separate identities to know itself,
  • Similiar to many spiritual teacher's teachings
    • Alan Watts referred to it as God playing Hide and Seek with itself

for - quote - who you are beyond your headset - Donald Hoffman - If you want to understand the truth of who you are beyond just this headset description of you - then you have to - lay aside all concepts period and - just know yourself by being yourself, - not by putting a concept between you and yourself. - adjacency - headset - perspectival knowing - Donald Hoffman - unquestioned assumption of other perspectives - imputation - external observable proxy - to private, inner world - As I read Hoffman's use of the word "headset", it brought up some associations with the idea of "perspectival knowing" - There is the perspectival knowing of a species, - but also of the individual of a species - For humans, perspectival knowing must be contextualized within an imputation: - that other perspectives exist - in other words, that other private worlds exist - and ultimately, this is a widely accepted imputation of an inner private world - based upon public, external observable behavioral proxies - This imputation of the other is a fundamental imputation and assumption of the human condition which we all take for granted, - but because it is so foundational, never question

for - adjacency - spirituality - science - silence of thoughts in meditation - descriptions of reality - map and territory - Donald Hoffman - nice adjacency - if our thoughts are dependent on and built upon inputs from our senses - and our senses only provide us with a map, and not the territory, - then thinking will only ever keep us in the map world

for - quote - Almost all of us think of ourselves as an object in spacetime only here for a short amount of time and will soon die - Donald Hoffman When I say you transcend any scientific

• Almost all of us think of ourselves as
  • an object in spacetime only here for a short amount of time and will soon die.
• When I say you transcend any scientific theory,
  • that means the theory that I am just a 160lb object in spacetime is just a theory and it's not the truth.
• That's not the truth about who I am.
• That's just a theory that I have because spacetime itself is just a theory.
• Nothing inside spacetime is anything but my headset interpretation of a reality that infinitely transcends anything I can experience.

What do the shapes and sizes in these networks tell us about potential outcomes?

How are these changes created? How are the outcomes and shapes different?

Can we put a mathematical "measure" on them? What do the (topological) "neighborhoods" look like before and after?

I find myself reading this from the perspective not so much of technology, but of these social systems which seem to be being stressed right now. Is it the technologists (Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, etc.) who realize that these systems were part of the technology "problem" in the past and now they've figured out a way to attempt to "capture" people to organize their original ends?

Opinion: This Is Who’s Really Driving the Decline in Interest in Liberal Arts Education by [[Jennifer Frey]] 2025-07-17 in New York Times

Frey argues that it's college administrators who are killing off the idea of a liberal arts education. In her experience, students are thrilled to be in these programs and participate in them.

Me: Some of the pressure, also indicated here, is from toxic capitalism which is pressuring students to be only career-focused in their educational journeys. This pressure leaves much less space for the humanities.

Philip, Rey (Editor)1 Description This interdisciplinary essay explores a forgotten hypothesis at the intersection of physics, philosophy, and fiction: that consciousness is not a byproduct of matter, but its ontological foundation. Tracing this idea from Heraclitus and Plato to Schrödinger and Penrose, the article integrates metaphysical traditions with quantum models and critiques of materialist reductionism. It introduces the Theory of Ontological Consciousness (TOC) — a literary-philosophical framework proposing ψ̂–Φ interactions as the generative basis of spacetime and form. The essay also reinterprets empirical anomalies, such as those documented by the Global Consciousness Project, as potential signatures of an underlying field of universal consciousness.
