First Principle Based
Philosophy

Intellectual curiosity has always been the driving force behind my actions. Heavily influenced by many of the great thinkers, the foundation of my mental model of the world is grounded in physics, primarily statistical mechanics.The laws of thermodynamics are the most general and robust laws we know of which allow us to explain the most important topics in a simple way and reliable way.

Humanity is developing at an exponential pace. The introduction of robots and artificial intelligence into our economy is changing the value and purpose of humans rapidly.The need for new philosophies is greater than ever. Join me on this quest of intellectual exploration.
