Love, trade, force. These really are the only ways we can know, be known, move, and be moved by other people in modern society. All of interaction summarised in three words. I want to explore these systems in greater detail to reveal their individual logics, and, in the process, justify their applications on varying social scales. ~Conjecture Institute Fellow @tomhyde_

...the problem of ‘squaring a circle’—given a circle, how can one construct a square with the same area as the circle?—was first asked by the thinkers of ancient Greece, well-known for their study of geometry. Mathematicians would continue to work on the problem for the next two thousand years within the framework of geometric theory without success. The problem was finally solved in 1882, when German mathematician Ferdinand von Lindemann stepped outside of geometry and approached the problem from abstract algebra. The puzzle of squaring a circle had its origins in geometry, but its solution had its origins in an altogether different mathematical field—and one that the Greek geometers had never even imagined. AI could not have helped the ancient Greeks in solving this problem, trapped as they were in the prevailing mathematical paradigm. No amount of automation could have discovered the solution within geometry, since the solution was not in that theory but in an altogether different theory whose discovery would require genuine creativity. In short: if a problem requires either a new method or a new theory, then AI as it is currently constituted is hopeless to solve it—and no amount of increasing its efficiency or computational power can overcome this limitation. ~Conjecture Institute Fellow @PaulRRobichaud & President @ChipkinLogan 👇
