My hacks
I think I am a hacker in the original sense of the early HN (which, unironically banned me 10 times in a row).
I am hacking things most of you do not know even exist.
I hacked “Category Theory” by realizing that inversing of arrows is an
illegal operation in any context outside of the theory (a type-error),
so an assumed isomorphism between a sum
and a product
is
immaterial.
Just think of it - a fork is fundamentally different structural pattern than a join and their relation is only apparent (a confusion of the mind of an external observer thinking too abstractly).
A “fork” is isomorphic to a “join” only in streams of a liquid and, perhaps, in streams of data, but it is not in general.
This is what happens with abstract theories - they might contain some insights and useful formalism tightly mixed with utter bullshit.
Causality (the source of any directions) and hence arrows cannot be reversed. Any such assumed reverse is a logical error (while the only valid logic is the one based on the Causality Principle which underlies the Universe).
I hacked other “type errors” too, especially attempts to apply
mathematical logic (in which False
implies anything) to the aspects of
What Is.
I hacked the difference between AND ALSO
and AND THEN
which
distinguish between an unordered pair (commutative) and an ordered
pair (an arrow, which is an abstraction for a single step, which implies a
direction).
I hacked trading of crypto by collapsing mountains of pseudo-scientific bullshit modeling which can be shown to be irrelevant abstract bullshit.
I forgot some of my other hacks. I have to re-read notes.
I solved yoga. It all reduces to gradually develop habitual deep abdominal breathing (with your belly) through the nose. One could collect the data and experimentally confirm that mouth-breathers (shallow, “upper chest” breathing) have lesser lifespan than abdominal guys (divers, swimmers, runners, mountain porters).
It is that fundamental and being overlooked exactly because it is so fundamental. Osanas and yoga pants are irrelevant. Changing the way you breath when you sleep - this is the ultimate goal of real ancient yoga.
Real Buddhist practices are the yoga of developing habitual continuous introspection, by the way. Nothing to do with daikinis or tankas.
