WOWOW: Picasso X Riemann X Kurzweil
Kurzweil talking about going all the way, Riemann hunting maddeningly capricious primes, Picasso on yellow spots, while your kids get stronger and smarter throwing spears and breaking the DMCA.
Can the lifehacking concept help you live until the Singularity?
If you want to lose weight, then forget the fad diets. Cut out all (there are no alternate interpretations to the world all) the crap in your diet, and don't put a time limit on it either. Don't decide to do it for a few weeks or "until I lose the weight" -- do it from now until the day you die. Exercise as much as you need to each day so you can burn more calories than you take in. There is utterly no point in going half-assed, other than to make it more difficult next time you try.
Sounds familiar. Multiply Exercise and Nutrition --
- Eat as much unprocessed food as possible and cut everything processed or refined. Food is fuel.
- Move your body and your mind as much as you can in as many directions possible. Stagnation and inertia mean death.

Prime numbers are maddeningly capricious. They clump together like buddies on some regions of the number line, but in other areas, nary a prime can be found. So number theorists can't even roughly predict where the next prime will occur. The distribution of primes is the great motivating question of number theory.
You may or may not understand the potential impact of the predictability of the distribution of primes, but one thing is for sure: It makes you think.
Picasso's Top 7 tips for creating an exciting life --
- See the hidden beauty by not judging.
- If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.
- Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.
- Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
The trick is to transform the yellow spot into a sun, then transform the sun back into a yellow spot. This makes you believe.
Five dangerous things you should let your kids do --
- Play with fire
- Own a pocket knife
- Throw a spear
- Deconstruct appliances
- Break the DMCA / Drive a car
That said, have a great week and appreciate the yellow spots.
