A couple of weeks ago, I took an exhausting journey to a place known as the Purgatory. It was my first instance of meeting the Entity that watches all of us, every single reader of this channel. One must enter the purgatory pure, leaving earthly belongings, especially electronics, behind. Once you do, you wait for a servant of the all-seeing Entity to meet you. And then comes the test.
Of course, in the Purgatory the Entity takes a look at your entire life, and judges whether you are worthy to enter The Land. You have a confession session with its servant. Everyone says: do not lie to the Entity. Open your soul to it. It knows everything about you anyway. And so it begins.
The Entity can ask about anything. No one knows how it evaluates you, and all judgements are final. In the confession, it touches on your entire life, even your personal life. What do you work on? Do you do something that is charitable? I've heard tales of people being banished within 10 seconds of talking to the servant. In mysterious ways, it quickly assesses who you are, and makes a judgement of your character. In my conversation with the Entity, we even touched on how the Universe works: the servant asked me, as if he didn't know already.
Within minutes, you know whether you're granted access to the place where Gods are being built and the fundamental laws of the universe are being unraveled. I was very relieved to know that my judgement was positive: I was granted the visa for the maximal possible duration.

The smartest Wolfram Physics Project criticism ^^
My opinion is that the overall framework introduced by the project is pretty much unavoidable for a fundamental theory in physics, and the resources of physicists is very much under-allocated to the project. Still, it has a long way to go to form a complete theory that can make predictions. Also, I think there's an important part of it that's incorrect — we'll likely see if I'm right in like a month
Seriously, read about it
And I genuinely tried to find credible criticism on the Internet, but it really does all look similar to the picture

In 1977, Frank Sinatra wrote a song about the greatest city in the world. However, the producers reacted with "wtaf is Dolgoprudny??", and so Frank had to rewrite "Dolgoprudny, Dolgoprudny" about his second-favorite city. But that on is pretty great too, actually. It even has a copy of that French statue (fig. 3, it's not to scale)

Honestly it's a shame I don't have a habit of posting here - the last months have been kinda interesting. Some things that happened in the past two months:
🇨🇭 Moved to Switzerland - I'm studying at ETH Zurich now
📰 We submitted a paper to Nature Communications, it's in review (Martin Sandomirsky is great btw)
📈 A channel of mine reached a couple million subscribers
🎤 Spoke at TON Bootcamps in Berlin and Paris, was mentioned here
- Got a diss track written about me lol
- Shipped the TON Site constructor. Fixed the bugs in @literalmebot and implemented paid packs, did not ship that yet
✈️ Paul Du Rove came to the meetup of this channel's former comments chat — you can join the new one btw, spoiled some future Telegram features
⛽️ Had a little exit💸 in one of the projects
🏰 Went to a chateau in Czechia for a rationalist gathering, and to a %classified% conference in Riga - was fun
🪙 Went to TON Gateway in Dubai. It was a very nice conference, built a lot of soon-to-be-fruitful partnerships with very cool people. Went to a dinner with Mikhail Svetov and some of my TON friends
🏝 Met the people working on eternal life and building libertarian jurisdiction, like Vitalia in Honduras, as well as the president of Liberland — this is actually very exciting
Most of these things (rather than being shallow flexes) surprisingly converge to something I'm working on now — stay tuned

Happy New Year from Zurich 🎅 🎅
Meanwhile, we're shipping the last features of the year with @yankhachko — there's still some time
(we're not just nerding, we also went to church and played piano and talked to its head who turned out to be Russian-speaking; back to shipping now tho)
