I have a new twitter - @MaxDiffusionRL

AND a new bluesky - stochastickea.bsky.social

I have a high level of betweenness-centrality/breadth. I sometimes generate useful amounts of entropy (way easier when I’m broadly/sparsely distributed). On occasional bursts (eg in 2021), I can trigger exponential growth trajectories in multiple people (eg someone once told someone else “go meet me and something interesting will happen”). I can occasionally be highly entertaining.

[I vibe best with some who have a certain kind of spiritual pattern recognition]

Retaining plasticity for multiple “cycles” is what I live for! (you may screw up one cycle and may need to wait 4 years for the next “cycle”).

I like open-ended pre-disciplinary areas of study!! I intersect heavily with Jacob Cole of ideaflow.app.

I lean into the “strength of WEAK TIES” - it is a uniquely serendipity-maximizing (if illegible!) strategy. I aim into the feeling of not being boring, even if my strategies sometimes seem to produce some bursts of interestingness punctuated by long periods that seem stagnant.

I LOVE ADDUCTOMICS + secondary metabolites (+all the metaphors they produce)

I like complex systems.

While straightforwardedness is impossible, I am at least guaranteed to be non-boring in some way.

In the case AI makes most human labor irrelevant, being entertaining (part of a story!) may be all that matter. The feeling of interestingness/uniqueness/energy will matter way more, other forms of impact be damned!

I consume all the neuroscience/genetics I can and go after everyone/everything!
