  What one is trying to do is explore miracles. It's probably looking at things a little bit the wrong way to say induce miracles, but it's something that can at least be understood in that respect. If there are miracles of this kind, they're not violations of nature. They are extreme improbabilities. The word…

  I think I think you have to be really, you know. Down in a in a set of words and numbers. I mean, maybe I can help here in the sense that at least walking people in to some empirical results. That are well, at least I would say I certainly connected with this type of phenomena where you have quantum mechanics…

  But, but that's not what it seems like at all. What it seems like are these semiotic effects. It's the fact that, that, you know, a word assign a calculation, you know, solving some numerical puzzle induces these vast transformations. Yeah. And so I think people get an intuitive sense from that, that, just like…

• 01:04:25

  So it's not that it can't be thought about in these other ways. Could people that do see that there are hyperagents not use acceleration and these emerging... technologies and co-opt them to bring about these more, let's say, traditional hyperagents that probably still exist, not in our knowledge, but outside…

  Yeah. It's not an icon. It doesn't open you like a symbol does or an icon does to the transcendent truths is that if you try to, the more we try to articulate it in low cost, the more it actually cuts off the possibility of perhaps gaining some insight from it itself. That's why it's an idol, right? Yeah. And because…

• 01:46:02

  And I think that that's kind of important. I mean, obviously, it's, as we've said before, it's kind of idolatry. It's a simplification, you know, but there's something there that I think is definitely true. There's something that I've seen in events of the coronation, or at least you can say, again, with…

  That's where all the work is. But there's so much great philosophy just in the tweets themselves. I don't think there's another account that just has state. I don't know how long you spend on them or where they come from. Yeah. You could also add, but there's so much to unpack in every one of them. If you understand…

• 02:24:29

  And again, thanks so much for coming. I think people will really like that. It's been very insightful for me. I have to watch back through it again, especially on all the stuff we were talking about with Hypersstition. We'll bring that to a close, everyone. God bless you. And God save the overking, as I say. And…
