[This](vox.com/future-perfect/2346233) interview with Sam Bankman-Fried has me gobsmacked. He says all the stuff out loud that he shouldn't. I almost feel bad for his lawyers. Almost.

@SecondJon but yeah, even going by that 90% of those ages would be @freemo

@SecondJon Depends on who you ask. Most sociology books I have read list 1980 as being a millennial, which I never considered myself (I'm born in 1980). @freemo

@freemo millennials😜 are almost the new boomers

Interesting, apparently about half of the fediverse are people in their 40s and 50s.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that ...

Can't wait for this show, tomorrow evening. Spooky historical sci-fi drama from the makers of Dark.

@obi
No, I wasn't familiar with his previous work. Some fascinating information.

@marathon0 Yup. Liked it, although there wasn't a whole lot of new information if you already have read, or follow Graham Hancock's work. Also, I would have liked to have seen more of Randall.

@LeoPaccianiMori That's all I am looking for! Will have to give it a go then, after a finish a couple others I am reading. Thanks, again.

@obi oooh QFT! So many memories 😂
There is DEFINITELY going to be some brain ache. I remember going through it when I was a student, and I already knew both quantum mechanics and field theory so I thought it wouldn't be so bad to just put the two things together. I was WRONG 😂
Joking aside, there might be some "energy barrier" that has to be overcome, but it's going to be worth it because it's just a beautiful and elegant theory (if you're into that)

@LeoPaccianiMori last question Is this going to hurt. Been saving these reading for about a year, and keep putting them off out of fear of brain ache. Abstract seems like it could make the beat case, but I am gonna have to dedicate what little free time I have.

@obi Thank YOU! I'm always glad to have these conversations 😀

@LeoPaccianiMori I can't imagine. I am sure these kind of fears lead back to the original question I posed. Thanks for all the thoughts.

@LeoPaccianiMori I often thought this understanding could lead to the only feasible true space travel. Growing a spacecraft that is. If you could genetically engineer it, it could heal itself, easily protect the occupants from radiation, produce oxygen , and fill up at the nearest star or nebula lol.

@LeoPaccianiMori I wish I could remember his name, just remember that the Higgs experiment would show a range, and there were 3 different methods being explored that depended on it, and this Italian Physicist spent his whole life on one. I have too much random crap in my head to access this bit of info. Blah.

@LeoPaccianiMori I guess you are studying things in biology fundamentally different than those in physics. You are looking at function, not really absolute origin for the phenomena.

@LeoPaccianiMori LIGO in my eyes is the most successful experiment of all time. Mainly due to it's nearly instant results. I wonder what the probability is that they were so successful so soon. Probably nearly impossible to calculate.

@LeoPaccianiMori I actually would think the opposite. Unless physics has come farther than I thought haha

@LeoPaccianiMori I think there must be parallels in both fields with the fundamentals maybe though? The whys and hows?
