[Weekly Retro] Making the space for creativity
#185 - Sep.2024
Happy Friday!
💡 Here is a quick idea before you head off to the weekend:
Inspiration comes from the Latin word inspirare, meaning “to breathe life into.”
Just as we breathe air, we must breathe in experiences to fuel our creativity.
We can get inspired at any moment, but we need to be receptive. Insights often come from unexpected events, sparking lateral thinking.
Just as we need space to breathe in, we must create mental space to allow new ideas to flow in.
The quality of what you consume - be it knowledge, art, or relationships - directly shapes what you create.
Nurture your mind with rich, meaningful experiences.
🧑🏻🏫 Concept I learned
Evolution Paths applied to ASI.
The evolution of complex adaptive systems, such as those found in nature, occurs through Blind Variation and Selective Retention (BVSR). This process, driven by countless genetic mutations in each generation, sometimes results in an organism better suited to its environment. Applied to ASI, this path envisions a gradual and uncontrolled development driven by ASI's assembly capacity to (i) exist long enough and (ii) to reproduce with mutations. This could mean that ASI systems develop increasingly sophisticated and autonomous capabilities over time, potentially leading to profound transformations in various sectors, from healthcare to transportation and beyond.
