The great Britney Spears once said…

“Lost in an image, in a dream But there's no one there to wake her up And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning But tell me, what happens when it stops?”

Here, she completely sees the delusion of identity and the larger material world of delusion. Her only mistake is assuming it will stop when in reality the wheel of time has no beginning and only a theoretical end when all beings no longer experience it(time).

(tech worker in healthcare here) my best guess is that most of these plays have been dependent on medicare for all/public option gaining more steam than it has. even my company's chiefs were pretty convinced it was going to happen. it's easy to put a doctor in your whole foods or cvs, but cost remains a huge barrier. medicare for all would have fixed that.

3blue1brown's group theory videos explain complex numbers better than i've ever understood before.

I wonder if every quantum programmer will need to be a theoretical physicist to some extent. I'm currently reading "physics from symmetry" which uses group theory intensively. It has a lot of math, but i'm ready to dive in this time. Excited for the special relativity sections.

I've also been watching Institute of Advanced Study videos lately which are way over my head, but from what I gather, the black hole information paradox has a solution using a method called entanglement wedge reconstruction. The model is holographic, and the goal is understanding the mapping of the physics of a quantum holographic surface onto the "bulk"(spacetime), and that mapping turns out to be very similar to a quantum error correcting code.
