The Invisible World is First Detected by the Visible World's Failure to Close
Eric has explained a method of reframing one's thinking to find "hidden worlds" or "the invisible world" by searching for "holes" or a lack of closure in the visible world. He originally discussed this concept publicly in a thread on Twitter in 2016. If you are interested in helping us animate this riff, please let us know!
Naval Ravikant once pushed me to do a Twitter thread called âThe Invisible World is First Discovered in the Visible Worldâs Failure to Closeâ. Right? So the idea is we find out that there's a neutrino because a neutron has a certain amount of energy, and a proton and an electron into which it decays doesn't have the same amount of energy. So something was lost. So, you know, there was a hypothesis due to both Pauli and Fermi that there must be some particle that is diabolically neutral, undetectable by almost any means possible, that is carrying away this extra energy. And so the idea is the visible world, that is, the charged particles, or the neutron, which you could detect, that world didn't close. Therefore there had to be something else. Well you know, when Kamala goes from being incredibly unpopular to the loved candidate with no primary, the visible world just failed to close. The idea that nobody ever convenes a bunch of geriatric neurologists to analyze Joe Biden is the visible world failing to close. This is the origin of âanti-interestingâ. These are all anti-interesting events, and you can measure the control of journalism by its desire to report on what everybody wants reported, and is absolutely, pathologically uninterestingânot to the journalists, but to the editors who tell the journalists what can and cannot be featured in print.
