I don't know, man. You ought to have deeper convos with the pros working on cuprates if you want to keep citing that. I don't know any who will say that the Hubbard model doesn't explain the cuprates. The problem is that they can't get (ab initio, not fitted) quantitative predictions that get usefully close to the precision of experimental observables. Indeed, most don't care about finding a better model? If the pros themselves don't really care unless funding season comes around..

The chart looks useful! Are you saying that the grandiosity/worthlessness trampoline is unique to schizotypy?

I've noticed that "there are no weird people, only weird beliefs" which may or may not be consistent with Kohut

EDIT: the top guy in cuprates can glance at a band structure and put a bid on whether it will be superconducting. He's never lost money.

How does one reliably counter-signal competence? That would not just break social media, it would make nepo babies[0] obsolete in fields without straightforward measures of merit (like thought-leadership)

His other example of the decades-new identity makes it sound like special functions have seen better days, not that we should give him some brownies.

One type of counter-signal is being nuts and right at the same time, all the time. This is not anything I've seen in HN comments not to mention this blogger. (Nor from Neumann, really. He did point to people who were, though, like Szilard, Seth Neddermeyer, etc)

[0]"Precocity" is NOT a counter-signal, it's a bad system smell?

[1] I saw a YouTube comment today which observed that mathematicians agree [on whether something is a breakthrough] much more readily than philosophers (and physicists, I would add)

There was an Orthodox ascetic that argued for physical immortality (and space colonialism):

Yes making things people want is not really in their book of values. If they're about things that almost nobody wants (transhumanism, triggering the Apocalypse) it makes sense that governments might have to step in.

Counterpoint-- Thiel and Musk, if you believe them, brought the "Open" to OpenAI

>Because of AI’s surprising history, it’s hard to predict when human-level AI might come within reach. When it does, it’ll be important to have a leading research institution which can prioritize a good outcome for all over its own self-interest. We’re hoping to grow OpenAI into such an institution.

--Musk, 2015

This suggests that things might not be as simple as that (it's a strong correlation, I admit)
