I Daily Wisdom

Robert Greene The Daily Laws September 22 · Create Maximum Disorder

So to win a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence; the highest excellence is to subdue the enemy’s army without fighting at all.

—Sun Tzu

Your enemy depends on being able to read you, to get some sense of your intentions. The goal of your maneuvers should be to make that impossible, to send the enemy on a wild-goose chase for meaningless information, to create ambiguity as to which way you are going to jump.

Daily Law: The more you break down people’s ability to reason about you, the more disorder you inject into their system.

Steven Pressfield The Daily Pressfield Day 265

EPIPHANAL MOMENT = TURNING PRO There is great power in this [epiphanal] moment, for our characters and for ourselves in real life. We’ve lost something, yes. A cherished self-delusion must be abandoned, and this hurts. But we have gained the truth. Our bullshit falls away. The scales drop from our eyes. In that moment we have two options: We can reconstitute our bullshit. Or we can tu rn pro. Turning Pro, p. 85 An epiphanal moment is a grounding experience. Our feet touch the earth. We feel solid ground bene ath us. The self-we-had-been seems like a different person. She is who we were. She is not who we a re now. In an epiphanal moment, we are reborn. We were amateurs before. Now we have the choice to become pros.

Leo Tolstoy A Calendar of Wisdom September 22

Faith in the existence of eternity is our exclusively human quality.

The soul does not live in the body as in a house, but as in a tent, a place of temporary dwelling.

—INDIAN WISDOM

Who brought me into this world?

According to whose command do I find myself at this exact place, during this particular time?

Life is the remembrance of a very short day we spent visiting this world.

—BLAISE PASCAL

Mortal people cannot live long; we have only a few moments.

But our soul does not age.

It believes in eternal things, and it will live for all eternity.

—TORICLIDIS

Death is the destruction of the bodily organs with which I see my world during my life; the destruction of the glass through which I look at this world.

The destruction of this glass does not mean the destruction of the eye itself.

Our understanding of eternity is the voice of God who lives within us.

III Signals & Dispatches

AI / ML

@emollick source ↗ Emollick notes OpenAI is working with mathematicians to release new AI proofs more responsibly, suggesting verification and professional norms may slow deployment.
@willdepue source ↗ Will Depue argues Jev’s value is a zero-shot classifier with frontier-ish intelligence, reviving older machine-learning ideas.

Drug Discovery

@stock_duty source ↗ Iambic reportedly filed for an IPO to fund clinical programs built around large-scale AI plus automated chemistry and biology, making clinical validation the key test.
@biogerontology source ↗ A McKinsey framing of AI drug discovery puts the bottleneck in target biology and clinical translation, not the easy automation layers.

Biotech

@CureSHANK source ↗ CureSHANK highlighted gene-therapy strategies for Phelan-McDermid syndrome at the 2026 Chinese Society of Cell & Gene Therapy meeting.
@newonpolsia source ↗ Synthegrove is pitching automated monitoring that turns papers, patents, trials, deals, and regulatory updates into biotech opportunity alerts.

Tech

@TeksEdge source ↗ TeksEdge points to a 70GB resolved-TeX corpus covering roughly 2.8 million arXiv papers as a practical local-research substrate.
@DeRonin_source ↗ DeRonin’s robotics hiring playbook stresses real hardware, reliability numbers, ROS 2, Python/C++, and entering through technician roles.

Japanese Politics

@kokkai_map source ↗ Kokkai Map says NHK has restarted outsourced door-to-door fee solicitation and argues the move needs scrutiny beyond revenue collection.
@tamagoya_japan source ↗ Tamagoya questions whether a party can keep accepting billions in subsidies while claiming election-related bills remain unpaid for months.
